Fire Extinguisher Ratings :Class A and Class B fire extinguishers have a numerical rating which is based on tests conducted by BSI Laboratories that are designed to determine the extinguishing potential for each size and type of extinguisher.

Class A Fire Extinguishers will put out fires in ordinary combustibles, such as wood and paper. The numerical rating for this class of fire extinguisher refers to the amount of water the fire extinguisher holds and the amount of fire it will extinguish.

Class B Fire Extinguishers should be used on fires involving flammable liquids, such as grease, gasoline, oil, etc. The numerical rating for this class of fire extinguisher states the approximate number of square feet of a flammable liquid fire that a non-expert person can expect to extinguish.

Fire are suitable for use on flammable gases. This class of fire extinguishers does not have a numerical rating. The presence of this symbol indicates that the extinguishing agent is non-conductive and suitable for electrical hazards.

Class F Fire Extinguishers are suitable for use on Cooking oil fires, because of their high auto-ignition temperatures are difficult to extinguish. Conventional extinguishers are not effective for cooking oil fires, as they do not cool sufficiently or may even cause flash back, so putting the operator at risk..
