Fire extinguishers

Fire extinguishers for companies: types, selection and sale

We sell certified portable powder, CO2 and water fire extinguishers with a 2-year warranty. We advise on what type and how many extinguishers your premises need, and we provide inspections and pressure tests throughout their service life.

Types of fire extinguishers and what they are suitable for

TypeSuitable forNot suitable for
Powder (ABC)solids (A), flammable liquids (B) and gases (C); universal for offices, warehouses, workshops and carsthe powder soils the area and can damage sensitive electronics
CO2flammable liquids (B) and electrical equipment; server rooms, switchboards, laboratories – leaves no residueless effective on solids such as wood or paper; displaces oxygen in small enclosed rooms

Fire classes: A solids, B liquids, C gases, D metals, F cooking oils and fats. Each extinguisher has the classes it is intended for marked on its label.

Kitchens: for burning oil and fat, use a fire extinguisher marked with class F. Never extinguish burning oil with water.

How to choose the right fire extinguisher

  1. What can burn. Choose the type of extinguisher according to the materials in the area: a different one for paper and wood than for electronics or liquids.
  2. Fire rating. The label shows a combination of a number and a letter, such as 21A or 113B. A higher number means the extinguisher can put out a larger test fire.
  3. Charge weight. 6 kg extinguishers are most commonly used in business premises, smaller ones in cars and machines. The extinguisher must be manageable for the employee who will use it.
  4. Number and placement. These follow from the fire safety design of the building and STN 92 0202. Extinguishers must be in a visible and permanently accessible location.

Company obligations regarding fire extinguishers

  • the fire extinguisher location must be visible and permanently accessible
  • periodic inspection at least once every 24 months, once every 12 months for a mobile CO2 extinguisher, unless the manufacturer specifies a shorter interval
  • inspection, repair and refilling may only be carried out by a person with a special authorisation, who issues a certificate and attaches a label
  • a used or damaged extinguisher must be replaced without delay by a working extinguisher of comparable or higher effectiveness, also during an inspection or pressure test
  • an extinguisher is taken out of service if its manufacturer-specified service life has expired, it failed a pressure test or its serial number and year of manufacture cannot be determined

Under Decree of the Ministry of the Interior No. 347/2022 Coll., which replaced Decree No. 719/2002 Coll. on 1 January 2023. More about inspections on the Fire extinguisher inspection page.

Frequently asked questions about fire extinguishers

How often must a fire extinguisher be inspected?

A portable fire extinguisher is inspected at least once every 24 months unless the manufacturer's instructions specify a shorter interval for the environment. A mobile CO2 extinguisher once every 12 months (Section 9 of Decree No. 347/2022 Coll.). A new extinguisher must be inspected before installation if more than 24 months have passed since the year of manufacture.

Which fire extinguisher is suitable for an office or business premises?

The most universal is the ABC powder extinguisher, which puts out solids, flammable liquids and gases. Where there is expensive electronics, such as a server room or switchboard, a CO2 extinguisher that leaves no residue is suitable. The exact type and number are determined by the fire safety design of the building.

How many fire extinguishers must a building have?

The number and type of fire extinguishers are determined by the technical standard STN 92 0202, which has replaced STN 92 0202-1 since April 2026 (Section 89 of Decree No. 94/2004 Coll.) and are usually set out in the fire safety design of the building. If you don't have it to hand, a fire protection technician will assess the number and placement.

Can we inspect our fire extinguishers ourselves?

No. Inspection, repair and refilling of a fire extinguisher may only be carried out by a person with a special authorisation under Section 11c of Act No. 314/2001 Coll. After the inspection they issue a certificate and attach an inspection label to the extinguisher.

What should be done with a used or damaged fire extinguisher?

A used extinguisher or one with a defect is not considered operational and must be replaced without undue delay by an extinguisher with the same or higher fire rating (Section 6 of Decree No. 347/2022 Coll.). The original extinguisher can be repaired and refilled if the manufacturer allows it; otherwise it is taken out of service.
