Advice, supply, mounting and biennial testing — ABC dry powder, CO₂, foam and fat-fire extinguishers. For commercial, industrial, office and residential use across North Rhine-Westphalia.
The fire extinguisher is the first line of defence against the incipient fire. A functional extinguisher, correctly selected and in the right place, can prevent a small fire from becoming a large one — many commercial fires are decided in the first three minutes. Which extinguisher type goes where, how many are needed and at what distance — this is regulated by the Workplace Rule ASR A2.2 via so-called extinguishing rating units (LE). Depending on floor area and fire risk, the total count is calculated. In homes there is no legal duty, but a strong recommendation. Businesses are obliged (§ 10 ArbSchG, DGUV 205-023) to additionally appoint and train fire wardens regularly. Testing is per DIN 14406-4 at least every two years — stored-pressure extinguishers often require servicing or replacement after 10 years. We advise on selection (fire class, quantity, position), supply manufacturer-independent, test and document — and on request train your fire wardens.
Fire classes describe the combustible substance, not the extinguisher. Every extinguisher is approved for one or more fire classes — a wrong choice can be life-threatening (example: water on a fat fire).
Wood, paper, textiles, plastics — typical home, office, warehouse. Covered by powder, foam and water extinguishers.
Oils, petrol, paints, alcohol — workshops, petrol stations, labs. Covered by powder, foam and CO₂ extinguishers.
Propane, butane, acetylene — petrol stations, industry. Only ABC-powder extinguishers are suitable.
Aluminium, magnesium, lithium — metal businesses, battery storage. Special metal-fire extinguisher required.
Deep fryers, pans — catering and large kitchens. Only approved fat-fire extinguishers may be used (no water!).
Universal for fire classes A, B, C. Highest extinguishing success, but strong collateral damage from fine powder.
Only for liquids and gases. Less common, specific industrial applications.
For B, electronic systems, switch cabinets, server rooms — residue-free, but asphyxiation risk in small rooms.
For A and B. Low-residue, good choice for office, admin, catering and hotel.
Only for A — solids. Suitable for archives and textiles, unsuitable for electrics and fat.
Special for class F — fryers, kitchens. Mandatory in catering per ASR A2.2.
Only for class D — special powder, in metal processing and battery production.
One contact for the full lifecycle — no subscription trap, no forced switch to another provider.
Calculate extinguishing rating units, select types, plan positions and signage.
Manufacturer-independent (Gloria, Neuruppin, Total Walther, Minimax) — with wall bracket and safety signage.
Qualified inspector, test sticker, log book, immediate repair or replacement on defects.
Stored-pressure extinguishers are opened, cleaned, refilled or replaced after 10 years.
Safety sign F001 (fire extinguisher), fire safety order parts A/B/C, fire brigade route card.
Theory and practice (live fire drill) per DGUV 205-023 — at your site or on our premises.
Foam and CO₂ extinguishers — gentle on electronics and interiors.
ABC powder for universal use, plus metal-fire extinguishers where needed.
Fat-fire extinguishers mandatory at fryers and cookers, plus foam extinguishers in guest areas.
Powder extinguishers area-wide by racking height and fire load — coupled with wall hydrants.
ABC powder and foam for liquids, plus CO₂ at electrical systems.
Recommendation: one foam extinguisher on each floor plus a fat-fire extinguisher in the kitchen.
Acquisition is low — the lifecycle gets costlier: testing every 2 years, servicing after 10 years. Over time, many rental models end up more expensive than ownership with own maintenance.
Prices are indicative incl. VAT. Larger orders individually quoted. Fire safety order and signage are listed separately.
You buy once and have it tested — usually cheaper than rental over 10+ years.
Qualification per DIN 14406-4, manufacturer-certified for all common brands.
Fire wardens per DGUV 205-023 — theory and live fire drill.
Extinguishers, wall hydrants, fire doors maintained together — one visit, one invoice.
