Buying guide
Extinguishers must suit the fire class, the size of the risk and the people who will use them. Compare the fire rating under EN 3-7 (for example 43A 233B) rather than agent weight alone.
ABC dry powder covers solids, liquids and gases but leaves residue and reduces visibility indoors. CO2 suits electrical equipment and is clean but gives little protection against re-ignition. Foam suits class A and B, wet chemical suits cooking oil (class F), and water mist suits A and some electrical fires.
Check the EN 3-7 rating or UL rating for the required coverage. Wheeled extinguishers to EN 1866-1 suit large risks such as fuel depots and tank farms.
Check the operating temperature range on the label. Outdoor extinguishers should be in cabinets or covers to protect them from sun, sand and corrosion; high heat increases internal pressure in stored-pressure units.
For electrical risks, check the extinguisher passed the 35 kV dielectric test under EN 3-7, or use CO2.
Under NFPA 10 or local rules, check extinguishers monthly, service them annually and pressure-test them at set intervals. Replace units that are corroded, damaged or past their service life.
