FireShield ABC Dry Powder Fire Extinguishers

Overview

In the event of a fire, there's no time to second-guess your equipment. The wrong extinguisher can make a dangerous situation worse. ABC dry powder fire extinguishers are known for their multi-purpose protection and will eliminate the guesswork almost completely.

Designed to tackle multiple fire types in seconds, this extinguisher type tackles:

Class A fires (flammable solids)
Class B fires (flammable liquids)
Class C fires (flammable gases)
Electrical fires (electrical equipment)

This flexibility makes it very difficult to get it wrong.

Fire needs three elements to burn: oxygen, heat, and fuel. An ABC dry powder fire extinguisher cuts off the supply of oxygen completely, while simultaneously cooling down any hot surfaces. Making it the ultimate firefighting tool.

Produced by FireShield, a British company with a stellar reputation, all extinguishers meet BS EN3 standards and are UKCA/CE approved, with MED approval on the 6kg and 9kg models. Each extinguisher includes a 5-year warranty and is built for durability, with a corrosion-resistant cylinder, brass-valve assemblies, and an outer casing that can withstand harsh weather conditions.

For general offices, homes, vehicles, and many other environments where versatility is key, we often recommend the ABC dry powder.

Please note: Dry powder extinguishers are well-suited to outdoor use and large open indoor spaces, since they release a fine powder. For enclosed, indoor environments, a FireShield Water Eco Fire Extinguisher is often a more suitable alternative.

PDI Inspection A PDI inspection on a fire extinguisher stands for Pre-Delivery Inspection. It’s the safety and quality check performed before an extinguisher is handed over to the customer. Here’s what it involves:
No dents, rust, corrosion, or paint damage	No signs of leakage	Safety pin and tamper seal intact
The manufacturer’s label is present, legible and in English	Extinguisher matches UK/EU/BS standards (e.g. BS EN 3)	Check the pressure gauge is in the green zone
Correct hose and nozzle supplied	Wall bracket or stand included	The extinguisher is weighed

Commissioning

Commissioning is the process of making a new fire extinguisher ready for service. In the UK, commissioning is required by BS 5306-3 and must be carried out onsite by a competent fire extinguisher technician.

Checking the extinguisher for damage or defects

Pressure gauge is in the green zone and checked using an equalisation pressure tester

Verifying the hose, nozzle, and pins are assembled to British Standards

Making sure the extinguisher is appropriate for the location

Adding identification signs

Completing the service label and certification

Commission & Fit
Installing a wall bracket or stand and adding required signage	Ensuring correct mounting height	Placing the extinguisher in the correct location (escape routes, fire points, etc.)

Certified Disposal of Old Extinguishers

Certified disposal is a service that ensures your old extinguishers are removed in full compliance with UK regulations, regardless of the extinguishing agent. By arranging certified disposal at the same time as buying new extinguishers, or after a service, everything is carried out by the same provider. Saving compliance headaches.

Disposing of old extinguishers under UK regulations

Using certified, registered waste facilities

Receiving certified legal disposal documentation
