Is it?

Since 1/10/2010 apparently.

The main reason for asking is I am 3/4 of the way through a rewire
and if it is a requirement then owner would prefer the CO detector
to be part of the interlinked smokes and heats I am fitting.

Not sure it can be. Apparently it has to be battery operated. Which
sounds stupid.

I am not familiar at all with this, but:

PLEASE NOTE: The Detector must have a sealed long life battery. You
cannot install a standard Detector that has replaceable batteries.

seems a bit odd.
