The updated British Standard 5306-8:2012 Selection and positioning of
portable fire extinguishers – Code of Practice states as follows.

“5.4.3 Use of powder extinguishers The discharge of a powder
extinguisher within buildings can cause a sudden reduction of visibility
and can also impair breathing, which could temporarily jeopardize
escape, rescue or other emergency action. For this reason, powder
extinguishers should generally not be specified for use indoors, unless
mitigated by a health and safety risk assessment.”

If you are not sure what this means, please contact us any time or see
our Fire Safety Survey service. Responsible extinguisher service
technicians (including ours) may refuse to certify a powder extinguisher
that is not suitable for the location.

Types of fire include Class A (wood, paper, cloth, etc), B (flammable
liquids), C (gas – but never put out a gas fire if the gas cannot then
be turned off) and safe around live electrical equipment

Anticipated lifespan with indoor use and proper maintenance – 10 years
