Some fire extinguishers for example some small disposable and factory sealed units and chrome/silver finish fall outside the scope of BS EN3 but carry other approvals. These extinguishers are made in the UK under ISO 9001 Quality Supervision, are tested in accordance with BS EN3 and carry a 5 year Manufacturers Warranty as a minimum.
You should always look for recognised independent approvals when purchasing fire safety equipment.
