ISO 7240-6:2011规定了使用电化学电池的点式火灾探测器的要求、试验方法和性能标准，该电池使用一氧化碳检测原理，用于建筑物中安装的火灾探测和报警系统（见ISO 7240-1）。 对于按照不同原理工作的其他类型的CO火灾探测器的测试，ISO 7240-6:2011仅可用于指导。ISO 7240-6:2011不包括针对特定风险开发的具有特殊特性的火灾探测器。

ISO 7240-6:2011 specifies requirements, test methods and performance criteria for point fire detectors using electro-chemical cells that operate using carbon-monoxide detection principles for use in fire detection and alarm systems installed in buildings (see ISO 7240-1). For the testing of other types of CO fire detectors working on different principles, ISO 7240-6:2011 can be used only for guidance. Fire detectors with special characteristics and developed for specific risks are not covered by ISO 7240-6:2011.
