smoke & heat detectors interlinked with co detector neccesarry?

sizzler
Hi Guys 

My customer recently recieved a letter from St Andrews university regarding her property (a 2 bedroom ground floor flat) which is used for student accopmodation. My understamding is that a smoke detector in the hallway interlinked with a heat detector in the kitchen along with a standalone co detector would comply with current legislation ,however the letter stated "all alarms should be interlinked" .  I don't think the co detector needs to be interlinked  to the smokes . Look forward to hearing any of your opinions regarding this. thanks

p.s.  portion of letter attached

    I have used a Kidde stand alone battery CO alarm with a read out of CO levels, after using a small portable camping heater in a room. The camping heater is not to be used indoors according to the instructions. The CO alarm complies to EN 50291-1 2010 and EN 50291-2 2010 is CE marked and displays a BS Kitemark. A truly essential piece of kit. It has a peak level button and a test reset button as well. When the heater is in use the CO alarm has always shown zero CO in the room air.
