Product overview

Polish-manufactured stored-pressure BC powder extinguisher from OGNIOCHRON S.A., model GP-1z BC/M, sized for passenger cars, camper vans, and motorboats where space in the boot or cabin is tight. The 1 kg BC charge is rated 21B C under EN 3-7 with CNBOP-PIB approval, covers flammable liquids, gases, and energised electrical equipment up to 1000 V, and weighs 1.6 kg with the cylinder standing 265 mm high. Each unit ships with a moulded plastic vehicle hanger so it can be mounted in a visible position rather than left loose under a seat. The BC medium is specified for fuel, LPG, and electrical fires rather than solid combustibles, which matches the realistic first-fire risks in a vehicle.

Where this unit belongs

A 1 kg BC extinguisher is supplementary cover for passenger cars, camper vans, and small motorboats where a larger ABC unit will not fit in the footwell, boot, or cabin locker. Fleet buyers and motor-trade retailers quote it when the requirement is a compact charged unit that an untrained driver can reach without leaving the vehicle. It does not replace the calculated extinguisher provision for a commercial premises or workshop; it sits in the vehicle as first response while the car is on the road.

Why BC powder in a vehicle

BC dry powder is specified for flammable liquids such as petrol and diesel, gases including LPG and methane, and energised electrical equipment up to 1000 V. That is the realistic first-fire set in a car engine bay, fuel spill, or portable appliance. The unit does not carry an A rating for solid combustibles such as upholstery or luggage; buyers who need A cover in the same vehicle often pair this line with a separate ABC unit in the boot or specify a larger ABC extinguisher where space allows.

What ships with each unit

Each extinguisher arrives fully charged with a moulded plastic vehicle hanger sized to this cylinder. The hanger lets the unit hang from a seat back, parcel shelf bracket, or bulkhead fixing without a separate wall bracket. Operating instructions, CNBOP-PIB approval marks, and the EU declaration of conformity ship with the batch.

Frequently asked questions

Specification, conformity, and delivery, answered by the equipment desk.

When should a vehicle carry BC powder instead of ABC powder?

Specify BC when the realistic first fire is fuel, LPG, or electrical equipment up to 1000 V and the priority is the smallest cylinder that fits a footwell or boot. Specify ABC when you also need cover for solid combustibles such as upholstery or luggage in the same unit. Many fleet buyers stock BC in the cabin and ABC in the boot when both risks are quoted.

How is the plastic vehicle hanger used?

The moulded hanger ships in the box and is sized to this 265 mm cylinder. It lets the unit hang from a seat back, parcel shelf, or bulkhead bracket so it stays visible and reachable. It is not a wall bracket for a building; use the steel holder on the ABC lines for fixed indoor mounting.

What does the 21B C rating on a 1 kg BC extinguisher mean?

Under EN 3-7, 21B is the size of flammable-liquid test fire the unit extinguished and C confirms gas fires. There is no A figure because BC medium is not rated for solid combustibles. Match the B and C figures to the fuel and gas risks in the vehicle risk assessment.

What warranty applies to the GP-1z BC/M car extinguisher?

OGNIOCHRON S.A. warrants correct operation for five years from the date of manufacture. Service and recharging follow the intervals printed on the label and your national rules for EN 3-7 portables.

What is the minimum order for NV-FE-1ZC vehicle extinguishers?

There is no fixed minimum per article, but very small orders may carry a handling charge on the quotation. The charged cylinder moves under ADR as limited-quantity dangerous goods, so tell us the delivery country and quantity and we confirm road freight, lead time, and conformity documents.
