Description
Portable fire extinguisher in the shape of a truncheon. It is red with a black rubber handle, markings and pictograms. The markings translate into English as: "Ideal for fire class A, B and C. Especially for electric fires. Can be used for defence."
Risk
The product poses a risk of fire because the classification marking 0,6B does not meet the requirements for hand-held extinguishers defined in the standard SS-EN 3 - the lowest marking defined in the standard is 21B. The markings on the fire extinguisher claim that it is suitable for putting out all kind of fires, even electric fires, thus the consumer may be mislead by the performance of the product. The fire extinguisher does not comply with the relevant European standard EN 3-7.
