The 2023 revisions to BS 5306-8 allow a single high-rated, water based fire extinguisher on smaller floors/storeys under 50 m?, as long as that one unit's rating meets or exceeds the required coverage
e.g. a 27A fire extinguisher, as shown in this picture, which we supply for this very reason will fulfill the requirement.
This helps to limit the amount of units needed and therefore more cost effective for the end user at time of installation and for the ongoing annual service.
