BS 5306 requires that the commissioning of extinguishers for businesses is performed by a competent person at your premises. Pre-commissioning is specifically not allowed. If it is the first time extinguishers are installed at your premises, we recommend that you contact us to arange commissioning (certification) and installation.
The 2kg Carbon Dioxide (CO2) fire extinguisher is quality LPCB certified to BS EN3. The stored pressure CO2 fire extinguisher is primarily for use on fires of electrical origin. Being non-toxic and leaving no residue, CO2 will not harm machinery or electrical equipment.
Fire Extinguisher commissioning - POA
‘Commissioning’ means that your fire extinguishers have been thoroughly checked and approved as good for use.
Fire extinguishers are not compliant with UK fire extinguisher legislation until they have been commissioned, even if you have the right types and sizes of extinguisher in the right locations.
Examples of things checked during commissioning are:
– The extinguishers have been assembled properly.
– Hoses and horns are correctly attached
– They are of the right weight or pressure
– They are undamaged
The extinguisher engineer will provide you with a certificate as evidence that your extinguishers have been commissioned in accordance with UK regulations.
Can I buy extinguishers online without going through a fire protection company?
You can, of course, buy fire extinguishers yourself online. Just be sure that they are the right type and size for your premises and that you know where to locate them.
Fire extinguishers must be commissioned on-site by a competent person. This generally means someone who has passed the BAFE fire extinguisher exam or has an equivalent qualification.
Unfortunately, fire extinguishers cannot be commissioned before they are installed. This is because issues may arise during the installation itself.
For this reason, you will need to contact a fire protection company to commission your fire extinguishers, even though you sourced them online.
