Its exterior does prevent it from displaying the BSI Kitemark, but rest assured that it is made alongside standard red extinguisher that do. It also should alleviate your concerns that it has been proven effective in tackling Class A, B, and C fires, meaning you are covered against risk posed by flammable solids, liquids, and gases. 

All in all, the Chrome 2kg Powder Extinguisher is a comprehensive blend of fire protection and premium aesthetics, so if you want to outfit a design-conscious property with one type of fire extinguisher, or just need one for the home that looks nice, you’ve found it.

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.”
