Fire detection and alarm systems, Part 8: Point-type fire detectors using a carbon monoxide sensor in combination with a heat sensor

The objective of this Standard is to specify requirements, test methods, and performance criteria for point-type multi-sensor fire detectors that incorporate at least one carbon monoxide (CO) sensor in combination with one or more heat sensors, for use in fire detection and alarm systems installed in buildings (refer to AS ISO 7240.1).
