A carbon monoxide alarm certificate records the CO alarms fitted or checked at a property: where each one is, its make and model, how it is powered and that it was tested and working. It documents compliance with the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (Amendment) Regulations 2022 and confirms the alarms themselves meet BS EN 50291.
Since 1 October 2022, landlords in England must provide a carbon monoxide alarm in any room used as living accommodation that contains a fixed combustion appliance, excluding gas cookers, and repair or replace alarms reported faulty. Building Regulations also require CO alarms with new solid fuel appliance installations, so installers and letting agents both need this paperwork.
TradePlanr lets you complete the certificate on your phone at the property: log the rooms with combustion appliances, record each alarm with its replace-by date, capture the test results and a signature, then hand over a clean branded PDF before you leave.

In England, since 1 October 2022, landlords must provide a carbon monoxide alarm in any room used as living accommodation containing a fixed combustion appliance — boilers, gas fires, stoves and open fires — with gas cookers excluded. Faulty alarms must be repaired or replaced once reported.
Yes. Alarms for domestic use should comply with BS EN 50291, and most carry a replace-by date of five to ten years. The certificate records the model and replace-by date of each alarm so replacements can be planned.
