How will the P50 fire extinguisher be maintained?
P50 composite fire extinguishers require no servicing by an external engineer, just a simple annual visual check that can be carried out by a member of your own team. This means that no service contract is necessary, saving you an average of 55% in costs over the replacement cycle.
-
Are P50 fire extinguishers legal?
Yes. The P50 fire extinguishers are endorsed by the highest legal and safety standards across Europe, including, EN3, BSI, Apragaz and MED approvals.
BS5306 sets out the standard for portable fire extinguishers to be serviced by competent persons. The HSE defines “competence” as the ability to undertake responsibilities and perform activities to a recognised standard on a regular basis. Every customer who we supply the P50 extinguishers to, will be trained by our technical team and will be issued a certificate of competence to service the P50 fire extinguishers themselves. We also provide a free of charge, bespoke Extinguisher Management System which stores the locations, sizes, types and commission dates of each extinguisher on your site and will send out automatic reminders when inspections are due to allocated individuals.

Why do I only need one P50 composite fire extinguisher?
The P50 fire extinguisher is multi-risk. For example, the P50 foam fire extinguisher is certified for use on class A, B and electrical fires up to 1000 volts. This means that we can replace your usual CO2 and water/foam steel extinguisher pairs with just one P50 foam fire extinguisher. Due to this multi-risk capability, we are reducing our clients extinguisher inventory by an average of 40%.
