[co2 10 year hydrostatic pressure testing]

[Number of fire extinguishers]

Yeah i understand having 2 water and one co2 could be over kill but if i recommend 1 water 1 co2 and not follow the legislation what implications do i put my self in? 

[Number of fire extinguishers]

Ok i know about the legislation about fire extinguishers 

For any story in a building with a floor area equal to or less than 400 m² there should be

a minimum of 2 x class 'A' extinguishers with a minimum combined fire rating of 26A.

 

examples:

floor area 130m² ..........  2 x 13A extinguishers

floor area 390m² ..........  2 x 13A extinguishers

 

But why do I see people with one 13a fire extinguisher and a co2 shouldn't they have two 13a fire extinguishers and a co2. Are these other companies not been told or am i missing something 

 

Property i visit is less than 400m2

[dry powder discharge]

so yeah i understand so after 5 years just replace the hole thing because it works out cheaper what do with these old fire extinguishers after the 5 years and get new ones 

 

[dry powder discharge]

I could just make a box with a good filter on at the lid and hose going in and blow it all into that 

[dry powder discharge]

Yeah so discharge test turn out side down and pull the lever collect the power in a bag kinda thing open up look inside. I have the training but we didn't cover power that in depth as much as water 

[dry powder discharge]

dont you have to look inside the tank after 5 years to make sure its all nice inside i know about the water ones can be turned upside down but was not sure about powder

[dry powder discharge]
