Fire Extinguisher Ratings / Classes

 

Ratings consist of a letter and in some cases, a number. The letter is the 'Class' of fire. These are defined below. The number relates to the size of the fire, the bigger the number the better the extinguisher.

Note: Classification, rating and performance testing of portable fire extinguishers are to comply with AS/NZS 1850: 1997
