1. There will be a service label on the extinguisher showing that it has been serviced in the last year and saying when the next service is due.

Whilst the legislation has been responsible for dramatically reducing commercial fires in the UK, it can be difficult to interpret if you’re not a fire safety professional – which is why we have answered some of the most frequently asked questions below as clearly and simply as possible.

Examples of things checked during commissioning are: –   The extinguishers have been assembled properly–   Hoses and horns are correctly attached–   They are of the right weight or pressure–   They are undamaged

For this reason, you will usually still need to contact a fire protection company to commission your fire extinguishers, even though you sourced them online.

All extinguishers should also be clearly signposted with fire extinguisher ID signs fixed to the stand or the wall.  Extinguisher ID signs explain which type of extinguisher they are, and how and when to use them.

UK fire extinguisher standards recommend that you should have a minimum of two ‘Class A’ extinguishers on every storey of the building.  Class A fire extinguishers are those which put out wood or paper fires, also known as ‘carbinaceous’ fires.

2. The service label will record the outcome of the last service as one of the following: –   received a basic service–   was refilled–   needs replacing (in which case a new extinguisher should have been purchased)

Exceptions to the rule: if your building has a lot more exits or fire alarm call-points than the number of extinguishers you need, then the 30 metre rule below dictates where they should go.

A fire extinguisher service checks a number of things: –   Is the extinguisher in date?–   Is it in visibly good condition?–   Has it been tampered with?–   Is the weight and/or pressure correct?–   Does the pin work?–   Is the hose in good working order?–   Are the instructions on the extinguisher legible?

Exceptions to the rule: if an extinguisher is damaged, discharged or otherwise unable to be used safely, then it should be replaced immediately.

Other types of extinguisher you may need are: –   Dry powder extinguishers: for gas risk, e.g. in boiler rooms (not recommended for other indoor use) –   Wet chemical extinguishers: for kitchens with deep-fat fryers (size of extinguisher depends on size of fryer)

‘Specialist’ extinguishers, such as wet chemical and powder extinguishers should be positioned within easy reach of the specific fire hazard – e.g. the deep fat fryer.

BS5306 recommends that fire extinguishers are tested by discharge every five years (water foam and powder) and refilled or replaced, and every ten years (CO2).  CO2 bottles are hydraulically tested at the ten year point, or the extinguisher is replaced.

UK fire extinguisher regulations specify: –   All premises with electrical equipment must have at least 2kg CO2 extinguishers–   Where there is 415 volt rated equipment, then 5kg CO2 extinguishers are required

There are very few exceptions where you won’t need a CO2 extinguisher which is why it is very common to see these paired with foam or water extinguishers, thereby meeting UK fire extinguisher legal requirements.

Fire extinguishers are not compliant with UK fire extinguisher legislation until they have been commissioned, even if you have the right types and sizes of extinguisher in the right locations.

Exceptions to the rule: if your premises are very small and it would be a hindrance to escape having two extinguishers, then only one may be needed.  An example would be a newspaper kiosk.

If, during a health and safety or fire brigade visit for example, you need to demonstrate that your extinguishers have been adequately serviced, there are a number of things to look for:

Of course, with proper training, anyone can use an extinguisher in the event of an emergency when, e.g., evacuating a building or as a first aid firefighting appliance.

If you’re still unclear on fire extinguisher regulations, or you need specific advice for your business, we can arrange for one of our BAFE accredited engineers to visit your premises and carry out a free, no-obligation survey.

For this reason, latest guidelines recommend replacing extinguishers rather than refilling them – because the residue would have to be disposed of by specialist means.

As with all fire safety legislation in England and Wales, UK Fire Extinguisher regulations form part of ‘The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005’, also known as the ‘RRO’.

You should also consider that BAFE  and the Environment Agency advise against the discharge of water based fire extinguishers onto open land or down drains to prevent hazards to the environment. It is for this reason that we recommend the replacement of extinguishers at the test point rather than test discharge.  Our returned extinguishers are then disposed of in an environmentally responsible way.

The 30 metre rule comes from current UK British Standards (BS5306) and states that you should be no more than 30 metres from the appropriate extinguisher on any given level of your premises.

Fire extinguisher regulations state that extinguishers must be serviced annually (i.e. once a year) by a competent person.

The extinguisher engineer will provide you with a certificate as evidence that your extinguishers have been commissioned in accordance with UK regulations.

At the end of the service, the engineer will be able to tell you which extinguishers need replacing, or advise on additional extinguishers you may need to bring you in line with regulations.

Exception to the rule: this is not the case for extinguishers with plastic pins which have a different design.  For these types of extinguisher, the pin itself should be replaced every year.

You can, of course, buy fire extinguishers yourself online.  Just be sure that they are the right type and size for your premises and that you know where to locate them.

Fire extinguishers must be commissioned on-site by a competent person.  This generally means someone who has passed the BAFE fire extinguisher exam or has an equivalent qualification.

Unfortunately fire extinguishers cannot be commissioned before they are installed.  This is because issues may arise during the installation itself.
