Confirm the intended application
Fire extinguisher selection depends on the fire risk and premises. Ask a competent fire-safety professional to assess the actual requirement.
Verify product identification and documentation
Check manufacturer details, model, capacity, operating instructions and current product documentation before procurement.
Check applicable Indian requirements
BIS lists IS 15683:2018 for portable fire extinguishers under mandatory certification. Verify the current scope and certification status for the exact product being purchased rather than relying on a generic marketing claim.
Plan inspection and maintenance
Keep equipment accessible and maintain it according to applicable requirements, manufacturer instructions and your site fire-safety plan.
