Fire Rating

These ratings measure the knock down capability of fire fighting equipment. They are categorised into Class A Fire and Class B Fire rating categories:

Class A Fire indicating organically consumable material fires e.g. wood, paper, textiles etc.
Class B Fire indicating flammable liquids and flammable gas fires e.g. petrol, oil, methane gas etc.

The Chubb 9kg 40% DCP Extinguisher has the highest fire ratings of the South African manufactured extinguishers being 43A/233B.
This indicates that on the Class A fire rating the extinguisher extinguishes a wooden crib fire 0.5m wide, 0.56m high and 43m long. The rating figure is ten times the length in metres.
 
Class B is related to the type of fuel used (flammable liquid). The rating figure relates to the quantity of flammable liquid in a mixture of water and fuel that can be extinguished in a circular pan. The numerical figure relates to the litres of fuel used. The 9kg extinguisher has the capability to extinguish a fire of 233 litre of petrol, a true test of knockdown capability.  No other local extinguisher has a Class B rating more than 183B.
 
This above fact illustrates the importance of research scientific design and quality when manufacturing extinguishers.
