CLASS C fire = flammable gases ADDITIONAL NOTES: All stored pressure ABC dry powder extinguishers have a Class A/Class B fire rating. All stored pressure BC dry powder and CO2 extinguishers only have a Class B fire rating. Most, but not all, aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) extinguishers have a Class A/Class B fire rating. Some small-capacity AFFF extinguishers only have a Class B rating. CO2 extinguishers are not to be provided for living spaces. Halon extinguishers are the subject of an international ban, are illegal to have on board and are no longer to be considered as part of the specified number of portable fire extinguishers. Current DEFRA advice is for owners to contact the supplier or the local amenity waste site operator to arrange for an environmentally-friendly disposal. A CE mark on a portable fire extinguisher relates to the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED). Conformity with the PED does not give any assurance of manufacture or performance testing, also known as attestation, to EN 3, the recognised manufacturing standard. APPENDIX PRESSURE SYSTEM INSPECTION CERTIFICATES – The inspection certificate is actually a detailed report of an examination of a pressure system which may involve a number of stages and tests and the report may be issued in two parts. There is no set format for the report although HSE does publish a model form, the reports are issued by organisations (often an insurance company) and professional independent competent persons. In all cases the reports will be signed by a person with a title such as: surveyor. A report will be issued whatever the state of the boiler as its purpose is to tell the owner what is wrong as well as what is right. The existence of a report does not mean, therefore, that the boiler is in a satisfactory state to be used, so it must be read carefully. REPORT ASSESSMENT You must be assured of the following: has the examination been carried out by a competent person; and, does the report indicate satisfactory condition? COMPETENT PERSON Any person issuing a report on behalf of one of the following may be accepted as competent: insurance companies examination firms SBA Services Ltd Northern or Southern Federations of Model Engineering Societies
