Portable Fire Extinguishers

ABC powder, ABF foam, CO₂, foam, and water-mist portables to EN 3-7, from 1 kg domestic sizes through 12 kg workplace ratings, with conformity documents for EU delivery.

Portable extinguishers are the first line on a wall bracket or in a vehicle bracket when a fire is still small enough to fight by hand. Buyers on this page are comparing charge size, fire rating, and extinguishing medium against the A and B (and F where relevant) cover their risk assessment calls for. Every unit listed here is a stored-pressure portable to EN 3-7 with the declaration of conformity and pressure equipment paperwork that EU trade buyers expect on delivery.

Who specifies portable extinguishers

Property managers refitting corridors and plant rooms, retailers stocking CE marked lines, and contractors handing over a premises with the calculated extinguisher count already mounted. The common requirement is a labelled unit with a readable gauge, a bracket or stand, and a service interval the local maintenance company can work to. We quote charge size and fire rating on every line so you can match the unit to the room size and hazard class without opening a catalogue PDF.

ABC powder and ABF foam on one page

ABC dry powder covers solids, flammable liquids, and energised electrical equipment in the test sizes stated on each label, which is why it dominates offices, workshops, and general storage. ABF foam is specified where cooking oils and fats are the realistic first fire, because the foam lays an insulating film that helps stop re-ignition and leaves less residue on a cooktop than powder. Many sites carry powder for the wider rating and hang an ABF unit at the hob. Both media travel as limited-quantity dangerous goods under ADR.

Conformity documents and service intervals

Each consignment includes the EU declaration of conformity for EN 3-7 and, where the cylinder falls under the pressure equipment directive, the documentation that regime requires. The label states the maintenance interval your service contractor will quote against. We supply the article numbers and batch references on the delivery note so an auditor can match a five-year-old unit on the wall to the paperwork years later.

Frequently asked questions

Ratings, media choice, conformity documents, and delivery for portable extinguishers.

How do I read the A and B fire rating on a portable extinguisher?

The rating is the size of test fire the unit extinguished under the approval it carries. A is a wood crib test for solids, B is a liquid tray test for flammable liquids, and F where shown is the Class F figure for cooking oils and fats. Match the numbers on the label to the hazard class and room size your risk assessment calculated rather than guessing from charge weight alone.

Should I order ABC powder or ABF foam portable extinguishers?

Specify ABC powder for general solids, liquids, and electrical equipment cover in offices, corridors, and workshops. Specify ABF foam beside hobs and fryers where hot cooking fat is the realistic first fire. Many buyers stock both: powder for the calculated premises rating and foam at the cooking line.

Which conformity documents ship with portable extinguisher orders?

Every batch includes the EU declaration of conformity for EN 3-7 and the pressure equipment documentation where the charged cylinder requires it. The delivery note lists article numbers and batch references. We keep copies against your account for audit.

How do charged portable extinguishers ship inside the EU?

Charged extinguishers are limited-quantity dangerous goods under ADR, so they move on road freight with the markings and documentation that regime requires, not on standard parcel networks. Tell us the delivery country and quantity and we confirm carriage and lead time on the quotation.
