Understanding fire extinguisher classes
There are four classes of fire extinguishers – A,B,C & D – and each class can put out a different type of fire.
- Class A extinguishers will put out fires in ordinary combustibles such as wood & paper
- Class B extinguishers are for use on flammable liquids like grease, gasoline & oil.
- Class C extinguishers are suitable for use only on electrically energized fires.
- Class D extinguishers are designed for use on flammable metals.
Multipurpose extinguishers can be used on different types of fires and will be labeled with more than one class, like A-B,B-C or A-B-C.
The Laboratory Management is seriously considering setting up a furnace & jigging room with relevant infrastructure to conduct Fire Tests on Passive /Active Fire Protection Appliances/Systems as per relevant national & international standards.
