Information on our products, services, warranty and maintenance.

It’s the business premises and property owner’s responsibility to ensure that measures are taken to reduce the risk of fire extinguishers being vandalised, stolen or subject to wear and tear in high traffic areas. This requirement is also stipulated in the British Standards, so it's vital that extra measures are put in place to guarantee fire extinguishers’ safe-keeping; not only to be compliant with best practice as set out in the British Standards, but to ensure the fire extinguishers will work as they should in the event of a fire.

Cabinets and stands provide this level of protection for fire extinguishers, with a variety of solutions for a number of different applications. Discover our range of Cabinets and Stands.
Fire extinguishers can be the means of escape as well as fighting the fire, so it’s vital you know that they are compliant. All types of fire extinguisher should undergo a service, and best practice recommends a responsible person should use a competent person to maintain their fire safety equipment and, as a minimum, this should be undertaken once a year in accordance with BS 5306-3:2017.

In order for a fire extinguisher to gain a CE mark it must comply with parts 1-10 to EN3, excluding part 7 paragraph 16.1 which has reference to the colour. The accreditation bodies view this as not part of the safety, operation and testing of the unit, and is purely cosmetic; therefore the CE mark can be attached. Once the CE mark is attached, as it is to our entire Contempo range, the unit becomes legal for sale within the UK and Europe.
