FAQ
Are these products certified?
Yes, all products are fully certified by Global-Mark to AS 1850.1 and AS 1841.5, making them suitable for both commercial and domestic premises.
Will smaller people be able to operate the fire extinguisher?
Absolutely. In fact, our studies show that our concept is appreciated by everyone, regardless of gender. Most people are afraid of conventional fire extinguishers. But the way our fire extinguishers are used is very intuitive. They are easier to hold and operate than a conventional fire extinguisher. The weight is very similar.
Another big advantage can be the additional protection provided by the shield or the fact that the extinguisher can be operated with only one hand, both when carrying it and when extinguishing the fire. This gives the user a free hand for opening doors, carrying children, pets or valuables.
Where are your products manufactured?
Our company manufactures the pressure vessels and assembles the fire extinguishers in our own factory in the Czech Republic. We also manufacture many of the components ourselves in the Czech Republic. This is a Czech patent invented by a Czech designer.
What is the lifespan of a fire extinguisher?
Our fire extinguishers have a lifetime of 10 years. They need to be tested and maintained to AS1851 & therefore hydrostatic testing needs to take place every 5 years if in commercial use.
Is it possible to hang the fire extinguisher on a plasterboard wall?
Yes. Each product comes with a wall bracket which is also suitable for installation on plasterboard walls. However, the correct fasteners (wall plugs or plasterboard anchors) must be used. All our products come with installation instructions in the box. The instructions are also available to download on this website (coming soon).
Can the fire extinguisher be used repeatedly?
Fire extinguishers can be used repeatedly, but only if they are properly serviced and maintained between individual cases of repeated use. If the fire extinguisher is drained of extinguishing agent, it becomes non-functional as the extinguishing agent settles on the valve armature, meaning that it is no longer sealed and the fire extinguisher loses its pressure within a few hours.
Servicing of used fire extinguishers may only be carried out by persons trained to do so and companies which act as our service partners. We must therefore urge you to ensure that no one tests the fire extinguisher on their own initiative and, above all, that the seal of the fire extinguisher is never broken until an actual fire breaks out.
