Class A (flammable solids), Class B (flammable liquids, aside from cooking oils), and Class C (flammable gases) are the most common fire risks by far. A reliable way to tackle all these in one extinguisher is a valuable thing to have, and at this size, the 1kg Chrome Powder is a great choice for premium vehicle services and is provenly popular among independent tradesmen.

Despite the fact that it cannot display certain certifications due to its non-standard exterior hue, it does still bear the CE Mark, UKCA Approval, and has a 5-year warranty. It is also made directly alongside standard red extinguishers that have BSI approval, so there’s really no reason to not pick up one of these little beauties if you want something compact that can handle all fires and fits into a luxury aesthetic.

Intended for design-conscious premises with a variety of fire risks

Types of fire include Class A (wood, paper, cloth, etc), B (flammable liquids *NOT cooking oil), C (gas *do not attempt to put out a gas fire if the gas cannot be turned off immediately afterwards) and safe to used around live electrical equipment

Anticipated lifespan of 10 years with indoor use and proper maintenance

Please note that while our chrome extinguishers are made directly alongside BS EN3 Kitemarked ones and with the same components, they cannot display a Kitemark or BAFE approval due to not being painted red

The British Standard 5306-8:2012 for the Selection and positioning of portable fire extinguishers – Code of Practice states:

"5.4.3 Use of powder extinguishers: The discharge of a powder extinguisher within buildings can cause a sudden reduction of visibility and can also impair breathing, which could temporarily jeopardise escape, rescue or other emergency action. For this reason, powder extinguishers should generally not be specified for use indoors, unless mitigated by a health and safety risk assessment."

If you are not sure what this means, please contact us any time or see our Fire Safety Survey service. Responsible extinguisher service technicians (including ours) may refuse to certify a powder extinguisher that is not suitable for the location.”
