Since its launch in early 2024, The Green Range has embodied our unwavering commitment to sustainability. In line with the European Chemicals Agency’s proposed ban on PFAS in firefighting foam by December 2030, we are now on a journey to an entirely PFAS-free fire extinguisher range. All to ensure a seamless transition for our customers in readiness for when the UK introduces its own PFAS legislation.
The Green Crosshair symbol is present across all fire extinguishers in The Green Range, proudly showcasing our dedication to sustainable fire safety, as well as serving as an easy identifier for PFAS-free fire extinguishers.
Products and services that meet our environmental objectives will be made available from CheckFire throughout the year. All of The Green Range offerings are designed to make fire safety as sustainable as it is safe.
The first launch of The Green Range in 2024, the CommanderEDGE enviroFoam Fluorine-Free Foam Fire Extinguisher range supports the ever-growing demand for a true environmentally friendly firefighting foam solution containing no harmful PFAS, tackling both Class A and Class B fires.
Boasting a PFAS-free additive, the CommanderEDGE enviroWater Fluorine-Free Fire Extinguisher range is ideal for Class A fire risk settings that require a high-performance solution. In order to support a number of applications, the enviroWater range is available in three capacities: 3ltr, 6ltr and 9ltr.
At CheckFire, we’re passionate about bringing new innovative solutions to the fire trade, especially those that target fire risks in everyday life. Extensively tested and certified, the CommanderEDGE LFX fire extinguisher range has been specifically designed to tackle lithium-ion battery fires across a wide range of applications.
Completely free of PFAS chemicals, the new wet chemical fire extinguisher from Commander and CommanderEDGE are designed specifically for Class F fires, where cooking oils or fats are involved. The new range is now Kitemarked to BS EN3 and, with a new bell-bottom hose, they are a powerful and sustainable Class F fire safety solution.
Now available and in stock, the new fluorine-free foam fire extinguisher range from Commander! Available in 6ltr and 9ltr capacities, the range proudly carries the green crosshair, symbolising its PFAS-free status to support Class B fire risk settings.
Our latest report explores consumer attitudes toward PFAS, revealing key insights into awareness, concerns, and the growing demand for PFAS-free products. Based on a UK-wide survey of 2,001 consumers, it highlights public perceptions, the level of concern over health and environmental risks, and the willingness to switch to safer alternatives.
The Green Range helps businesses in a number of ways:
Contributes to a more sustainable fire trade
With a rise in environmental awareness creating a need for more sustainable and renewable solutions, The Green Range helps stockists and end users better prepare for any potential change in legislation. It’s our way of meeting our environmental objectives, but also our way of passing more environmentally responsible products to our customers.
Fluorine free and non toxic
With the upcoming EU-wide restrictions on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly known as ‘forever chemicals’, we’re discontinuing select products that can contain PFHxA, a chemical found in some of our offerings. As the first company in the fire safety sector to make this move, this proactive decision reflects our commitment to environmental responsibility.
Innovative Solutions
Whether facing specific industry fire risks or environmental challenges, The Green Range goes beyond to deliver groundbreaking products and services. This approach means we are answering a range of problems businesses in the fire trade have been faced with, helping them become safer and more prepared for evolving regulations.
Extensive, reliable research and development
Fire safety is always evolving, so we make a commitment to innovation to constantly stay ahead of new technologies and materials. With a dedicated, expert, and meticulous approach to research and development, products in The Green Range are not only at the cutting edge of current fire safety but also perfectly prepared for the challenges and regulations of the future.
Stay ahead of regulations, environmental news, and fire safety products and services. As well as our supplies, we’re also a source of support for fire trade professionals who want to stay up to date with industry insights.
