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

    And all becuase the CO was linked to the smokes.



    If people are that dim they're not going to be able to tell the difference between a CO and smoke alarm anyway - regardless of how many are bleeping (To Joe Public they're all just round white boxes on the ceiling that bleep when there some kind of fire-related danger).


    I guess the question is: can CO spread beyond the room with the CO detector into other rooms (especially bedrooms)? If so, I can see the benefit of units that are adjacent to those rooms sounding as well.
