Posted By Raj I am searching for the standards that form the basis of the current colour coding for Fire Extinguishers (red body with 5% of the body with the corresponding clolour code for the extinguishing agent - EN 3). Which code says that CO2 shall be black or Dry Powder should be blue and so on. Kindly advice. warm regards Raj
