1. Portable CO2 Fire Extinguishers

Portable CO2 extinguishers are designed for quick access and manual operation. They are commonly installed near electrical equipment, control panels, offices and commercial areas.

2. Trolley-Mounted CO2 Fire Extinguishers

For larger industrial or commercial applications, trolley-mounted CO2 extinguishers can provide a higher-capacity solution that can be moved to the required location.

BIS maintains a specification specifically covering Carbon Dioxide Type Fire Extinguishers – Portable and Trolley Mounted, under IS 2878:2004, including subsequent amendments.

3. Different CO2 Capacities

CO2 extinguishers are available in different capacities depending on the hazard and installation requirement. The appropriate capacity should be selected based on the fire risk assessment and applicable standards rather than simply choosing the largest available extinguisher.
