Extinguishers, Refilling & AMC
The right extinguisher, in the right place, actually kept charged
IS 15683-compliant ABC, CO2, water and foam extinguishers, with scheduled refilling, hydrostatic testing and annual maintenance contracts — so a cylinder is never found empty during an inspection.
Overview
Extinguisher type isn't one-size-fits-all
Using the wrong extinguisher type on the wrong fire class doesn't just fail to help — in the case of an electrical fire and a water extinguisher, it actively makes things worse. We match extinguisher type to what's actually in the room: CO2 near servers and electrical panels, foam near flammable liquids, ABC or water for general Class A risk — then keep every cylinder on a refill and inspection schedule so it's charged when it matters.
| Extinguisher Type | Best Suited For |
|---|---|
| ABC (Dry Chemical Powder) | General purpose — Class A, B & C fires; offices, corridors, common areas |
| CO2 | Electrical panels, server/IT rooms, generator rooms |
| Water (Jet / Spray) | Class A fires only — wood, paper, textile; not for electrical or oil fires |
| Foam (Mechanical Foam) | Flammable liquids — kitchens, fuel storage, workshops |

Frequently asked
Which extinguisher type does my building need?
It depends on the fire risk present. Offices and electrical rooms typically need CO2 and ABC units, kitchens and flammable-liquid areas need foam, and general Class A risk areas can use water or ABC. Placement is confirmed during a site survey.
How often should extinguishers be refilled?
A monthly visual check, annual professional service and refill, and periodic hydrostatic testing is the general standard under IS 15683. See our full refilling schedule guide for specifics by type.
