Category Overview
The Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors category, identified by the ID 499673, is a specific classification within the Google product taxonomy. It falls under the Home & Garden hierarchy and is designed for devices engineered to detect hazardous airborne particles or gases for residential safety.
What Belongs Here
This category is intended for standalone or interconnected sensors that alert users to fire or poisonous gas presence. Examples from the US market include:
- Battery-operated smoke detectors and ionization smoke alarms.
- Smart, wireless interconnected smoke detection units.
- Combination sensors that monitor both smoke and carbon monoxide levels.
- Sealed battery smoke and fire detection devices.
What Does Not Belong Here
Do not use this category for general fire protection equipment that does not sense smoke or gas directly. Place those items in their respective neighbouring categories:
- Fire Extinguishers or Fire Extinguisher & Equipment Storage.
- Fire Alarms and Fire Alarm Control Panels.
- Water & Flood Detectors or Heat Detectors.
- Fire Sprinklers.
Choosing a Subcategory
You should select the more specific subcategories of Smoke Detectors or Carbon Monoxide Detectors if your product is strictly limited to identifying only one of those specific threats.
Feed Implementation
Use either the ID 499673 or the full string: Home & Garden > Flood, Fire & Gas Safety > Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors. While the attribute is optional, providing it manually prevents Google from miscategorizing your safety devices, ensuring your product data is optimized for relevant visibility.
