Instruments require bump testing before each day of use and periodic full calibration on the manufacturer schedule, with records kept. Sensors have a finite service life and flag an end-of-service condition.

Then decide whether you need personal, portable, or fixed monitoring, and check sensor life, response time, and calibration-gas availability.

We do not sell, ship, or stock anything, and we have not physically tested this carbon dioxide detector. What we do is read the published SwitchBot specification against the governing standard, flag what the listing does and does not state, and place the product in context next to the alternatives we cover. Where a number matters for compliance - a rating, a class, a temperature, a voltage - we take it from the manufacturer listing and expect you to confirm it on the live listing before you buy.
