         *Final specification of fire extinguisher types for any risk must be based on the findings of a fire risk assessment conducted by a competent person. Many applications will
         require more than one extinguisher type dependent on the type of risk identified. Water Mist & Foam Extinguishers are only suitable for electrical equipment fire risks if they
         have passed the 35kV Dieletric Test in accordance with BS EN3. **Specialist Powder extinguishers are required for flammable metal risks
