Smoke, Carbon Monoxide, and Combustible Gas Alarms

This entry refers to the compliance requirements for smoke, carbon monoxide, and combustible gas alarms sold on Amazon. Products like smoke alarms, which signal the presence of smoke as a fire indicator, are commonly used in homes. Combustible gas alarms detect dangerous levels of gases such as methane and propane. Smoke detectors, intended for commercial use, are connected to fire alarm systems and are not allowed for sale on Amazon.

Carbon monoxide alarms alert before toxic gas levels accumulate, originating from sources like engine exhaust or faulty appliances. Some generic carbon monoxide alarms are banned from sale; Amazon does not accept applications for such products, even with compliance documentation.

Vendors must ensure alarms meet certification standards. Required submissions include vendor code, ASIN list, product images showing model numbers and CE markings, and a Declaration of Conformity. Products need certification under relevant EN standards. Failure to comply can lead to listing removal.
