Fire Extinguishers
These are the standards in SynC Standards that cover Fire Extinguishers. Each one is a complete, plain-language specification: the scope it applies to, the requirements that govern it, and a structured equipment datasheet listing the values a project has to decide, with the standards each is verified against. All of it is written and maintained by SynC, free to read without an account, and published under CC BY 4.0.
A standard usually carries several topics, so most of the entries below also appear under neighbouring subjects. The topics each one carries are listed on its own page.
Standards
- Portable Fire Extinguishers and Cabinets
Portable (hand-carried and wheeled) fire extinguishers and their mounting hardware, brackets, and cabinets installed throughout commercial, institutional, industrial, mercantile, assembly, and residential buildings to provide a first line of manual fire suppression by occupants and staff. Covers extinguisher selection by fire class (A, B, C, D, K) and occupancy hazard level, UL fire rating and agent type, distribution and travel-distance layout, mounting heights and brackets, recessed/semi-recessed/surface-mounted and fire-rated cabinets, identification and signage, installation, and the inspection/maintenance/hydrostatic-test program required to keep the units in service.
