COLOUR
CODING
The Britannia Range of hand portable fire extinguishers has been assessed and approved to BS7863: 1996, which requires an area of 3% to 5% of the body being colour coded to indicate the extinguishing media contained in the extinguisher.
WATER,
the most
commonly used extinguishant for class A fires only, involving carbonaceous
materials such as wood, paper, textiles. Water extinguishes fires by cooling the
fire, removing the heat needed to sustain combustion and preventing remaining
embers from re-igniting.
TRICLASS,
fire
extinguishers, with an AFFF additive, have the effect of enhancing its class
‘A’ fire fighting ability and also enabling it to be used on class ‘B’
(liquid fires) very successfully. TRICLASS extinguishers feature a unique nozzle
which ensures operator safety if in accidental contact with live electrical
equipment, (complies with electrical conductivity test specified in BS EN 3-2:
1996. clause 4, Annex A).
ABC
Dry
Powder extinguishers are extremely efficient on class ‘A’ fires, they
are also used on class ‘B’ and class ‘C’ fires (Gaseous). (There is no
test to determine class ‘C’ fires specified in BS EN 3). In addition they
can also be used on live electrical equipment.
