How Can This Extinguisher Be Identified?
Powder fire extinguishers feature a blue colour coding. It is critical that each fire extinguisher can be quickly and clearly identified in the event of a fire. That’s why we provide a high quality and compliant Fire Extinguisher ID sign FREE with every extinguisher to help you meet obligations more easily and for less cost.
What Type Of Fire Can This Be Used On?
The ABC powder in this extinguisher is non-conductive and will extinguish Class A (carbonaceous) and Class B (flammable liquids) fires and Class C (flammable gas) fires. Also safe for use on live electrical equipment up to 1000V at a distance of 1m
Why don't P50 fire extinguishers require annual servicing by a third-party technician?
P50 service-free fire extinguishers are made from non-corrosive components, eliminating the need for parts replacement due to corrosion, unlike traditional stainless-steel extinguishers, over a 10-year period.
How Do I Inspect P50 fire extinguishers and who can do it?
The P50 extinguisher maintenance programme is a simple process which staff members can easily carry out.
Do insurance companies accept service-free extinguishers?
Most major insurance companies have approved P50 service-free fire extinguishers. They typically require the annual checks stated by the manufacturer to be carried out by a competent or responsible person, as outlined in the BS 5306-3:2009 standard.
How do I maintain my P50 fire extinguishers over the first 10 years?
Unlike traditional steel extinguishers, you only need to perform an annual visual inspection each year, without the need to discharge and refill P50 service-free fire extinguishers after 5 years. Additionally, conduct a monthly walk-by inspection to ensure proper positioning and prevent tampering.
What maintenance is required for P50 service-free fire extinguishers over their 20-year lifespan, aside from the annual visual check?
After 10 years, arrange for your P50 fire extinguisher to undergo factory refurbishment, extending its lifespan by another 10 years.
Do I still need to conduct Monthly Fire Extinguisher Inspections?
Yes - a basic visual check of all extinguishers must still be performed and properly logged. Each month, you should conduct a visual inspection of your fire extinguishers. Here's what to look for:
