CO2 fire extinguisher
A CO2 fire extinguisher uses carbon dioxide, which evaporates after use and leaves no residue. That makes it ideal for electronics, server rooms, laboratories and machinery. We sell certified EN 3 extinguishers with a bracket.

Good to know: CO2 is less effective on solids such as wood or paper, where a powder extinguisher works better. In small enclosed rooms CO2 displaces oxygen, so ventilate after use. Hold the extinguisher by the handle, not the horn, which gets very cold during discharge.
Where to use it
- Server rooms, offices with IT equipment and switchboards.
- Laboratories, museums and premises with precision equipment.
- Stores of flammable liquids, gases and chemicals.
Inspections and service
Under Decree No. 347/2022 Coll., a portable fire extinguisher must be inspected at least every 24 months, but most manufacturers require an inspection every 12 months and then their interval applies. Inspections may only be carried out by a person with a special authorisation. We carry out inspections and pressure tests and keep track of the dates for you.
Frequently asked questions
What is a CO2 fire extinguisher used for?
For flammable liquids (class B) and live electrical equipment up to 1000 V from a distance of at least 1 m. CO2 evaporates after use, so it does not damage electronics or food.
Is CO2 better than powder?
Not better, different. CO2 suits server rooms and electronics because it leaves no powder. Powder is more effective on solids such as wood or paper.
Is CO2 dangerous to people?
In small enclosed rooms it displaces oxygen, so ventilate after use. The horn gets very cold during discharge, so hold the extinguisher by the handle.
How often must it be inspected?
A portable CO2 extinguisher at least every 24 months under Decree No. 347/2022 Coll., a wheeled one every 12 months. Most manufacturers require an inspection every 12 months.
