FAQ
Does the P50 foam extinguisher need to be commissioned?
The commissioning of an extinguisher should be carried out by a competent person. Upon removal from its packaging and transit protection, and immediately prior to placing in its designated place, the extinguisher should undergo the sequence of commissioning actions taking into account the safety precautions.
- Check the safety pin is in place and the anti tamper tag is not damaged.
- Check the fire extinguisher for any signs of damage.
- Check that both gauges are in the green, remove the magnet from the base of the fire extinguisher and pass it over the gauges, making sure the needle moves and goes back into the green.
- Ensure the identification stud in the base of the extinguisher corresponds to the colour and date on the grid at the back of the extinguisher.
- Date the back of the P50 on the date of installation.
