Government guidance refers to BS 5839-1 for fire detection and alarm systems in non-domestic premises, and the landlord smoke alarm guidance recommends alarms that comply with BS 5839-6 (the domestic code).

Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms

Private and social landlords must fit at least one smoke alarm on every storey that has a room used wholly or partly as living accommodation, and a carbon monoxide alarm in every room used as living accommodation that contains a fixed combustion appliance (gas cookers are excluded). Alarms must be checked as working on the day a new tenancy starts and repaired or replaced once a tenant reports a fault. The regulations do not require mains-wired or interlinked alarms. Councils can impose a penalty of up to £5,000 on a landlord who fails to comply with a remedial notice.
