BSEN3 is the standard that dictates fire extinguishers should be 95% red with up to 5% of another colour to identify the type of extinguisher. The different colour codes are:
Water = Red
Dry Powder = Blue
Foam = Cream
CO2 = Black
Wet Chemical = Yellow
Fire Extinguisher
What height should extinguishers be stored at?
Any extinguishers over 2kg, and a 2kg CO2, should have their handles mounted at 1m from the floor level. Any fire extinguishers smaller than this, should have their handles mounted at 1.5m from the ground.
