CO₂
EXTINGUISHERS
CO₂ (Carbon Dioxide) fire extinguishers are widely used across the UK for tackling electrical fires and Class B fires involving flammable liquids such as petrol, diesel, and oils. These extinguishers contain compressed carbon dioxide, a clean, non-conductive gas that quickly displaces oxygen, suffocating the fire without leaving any residue.
Typically identified by a black label and a distinctive horn-shaped nozzle, CO₂ extinguishers are commonly found in offices, computer rooms, workshops, and areas with live electrical equipment. They are particularly valued in environments where cleanup after use needs to be minimal or where damage to sensitive equipment must be avoided.
Key features include:
-
No residue – ideal for electronics and server rooms
-
Non-damaging to electrical equipment
-
Fast-acting – displaces oxygen to suffocate flames
-
Suitable for Class B (flammable liquids) and electrical fires
-
Not effective on Class A (solids like wood or paper) or Class F (cooking oils) fires
CO₂ extinguishers in the UK must comply with BS EN 3 standards and should be serviced annually by a certified technician. While highly effective for specific fire types, users should take care to avoid confined spaces when using CO₂ extinguishers, as the gas can displace breathable air.
