Multi-Class Ratings |
Many extinguishers available today can be used on different types of
fires and will be labeled with more than one designator, e.g. A-B,
B-C, or A-B-C. Make sure that if you have a multi-purpose extinguisher
it is properly labeled.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the old style of labeling indicating suitability for use on
Class A, B, and C fires.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the new style of labeling that shows this extinguisher may be
used on Ordinary Combustibles, Flammable Liquids, or Electrical
Equipment fires. This is the new labeling style with a diagonal red
line drawn through the picture to indicate what type of fire this
extinguisher is NOT suitable for. In this example, the fire
extinguisher could be used on Ordinary Combustibles and Flammable
Liquids fires, but not for Electrical Equipment fires. |
