The scope of the Global-Mark certification does not include lithium-ion batteries. The 4L F-500EA LFS extinguisher complies with the Mandatory Australian Standard AS/NZS1841.2 – 2007 as water-type fire extinguishers.

A portable fire extinguisher should only be used by trained individuals or employees. Portable fire extinguishers are strictly “first attack” tools intended for small, contained fires. They should only be used in the very early stages of a fire. Once a fire spreads or produces heavy, toxic smoke, you must evacuate immediately. Proper training ensures you know which extinguisher is safe to use and prevents untrained individuals from escalating a dangerous situation. In case of a fire, evacuate and call 000 immediately.
