California CO₂ Safety Compliance for Beverage Systems
If your business uses carbon dioxide (CO₂) for beverage dispensing, California fire code may require you to install a continuous CO₂ gas detection system. Recent inspections by local code enforcement agencies have increased enforcement of these regulations, and many restaurants, bars, breweries, convenience stores, and other food service businesses are receiving notices requiring compliance.

CO₂ is colorless and odorless. When released in an enclosed space, it can displace oxygen and create a serious health hazard for employees and customers. Continuous CO₂ monitoring provides early warning of elevated gas levels, helping protect occupants while meeting California Fire Code requirements.
Businesses storing more than **100 pounds of CO₂** are generally required to install continuous gas detection systems with sensors positioned near the floor, where CO₂ naturally accumulates. Proper mounting and securing of CO₂ cylinders is also required to help prevent tipping hazards and improve workplace safety.
