Posted By Paul Crump Can anyone tell me what the current regulations are about the colour coding of portable fire extinguishers and what other information should they display on them. Thanks Paul Crump

Posted By Ken Taylor I believe you need to comply with BS EN 3 - although extinguishers to BS 5423 may still be used. All-red bodies are required but an optional coloured area of up to 5% of the total surface area is permitted (enabling us to continue the well-known black = CO2, cream = foam, blue = dry powder practice). You could try getting literature on this from the Fire Protection Association on 020 7902 5300.
