Fire Ratings Placement/Accessibility Of Extinguisher Along with the classification, the numerical Fire Classification Class A Class B Class C Class D Class K. rating of an extinguisher is an important Maximum Travel 75 Feet 50 Feet In accordance 75 Feet 30 Feet factor in the proper selection of an Distance To Fire Maximum Maximum with the Class Maximum Extinguisher area that one area that one A or B hazard area that one extinguisher. The rating is a measure of extinguisher extinguisher it is protecting extinguisher the extinguishing potential of the fire can protect can protect can protect extinguisher and is developed on the and meet the and meet the and meet the basis of comparative fire tests.

7 75 ft. rule = 50 ft. rule = 30 ft. rule =. 11,250 sq. 5,000 sq. 1,800 sq. ft. Only Class A and Class B classifications carry numerical ratings. Basically the Occupancy Hazards higher the number associated with the classification letter, the larger the fire The NFPA classifies occupancies as either boat servicing; cooking areas; individual the extinguisher has the potential to Low, Moderate or High Hazard. Product display showrooms; Product extinguish. convention center displays; and storage Low hazard occupancies are and manufacturing processes such as Class A fire tests involve two types of locations where the total amount of painting, dipping, and coating, including fire, a wood crib fire test and a wood Class A combustible materials and Class flammable liquid handling.

8 Panel fire test. For example to achieve B flammables, including furnishings, a 3-A rating an extinguisher must decorations, and contents, is of minor Occupancies Min. Rating Unit of A. successfully extinguish a burning wood quantity. This can include some buildings Low 2-A:5/10-B 3000. crib measuring 29 x 29 x 27 and a or rooms occupied as offices, classrooms, Moderate 2-A:10/20-B 1500. wood panel measuring 12' x 12'. churches, assembly halls, guest room High 4-A:40/80-B 1000. areas of hotels/motels. Class B fire tests involve square pans Note: If the lower B rating is installed then the containing flammable liquid. Moderate hazard occupancies are locations maximum travel distance to the extinguisher is reduced from 50 to 30 feet.

9 Where the total amount of Class A. For example to achieve a 40-B rating an combustibles and Class B flammables To determine the overall A rating necessary extinguisher must successfully extinguish are present in greater amounts than for protection of an occupancy, divide the a burning pan measuring 100 sq. ft. expected under low hazard occupancies. total sq. ft. by the Unit of A in the above There are no numerical ratings associated table. For example if a low occupancy These occupancies could consist of with Class C, D or K. building has a total sq. ft. of 30,000. dining areas, mercantile shops and allied For Class C, the electrical nonconducting storage, light manufacturing, research Divide 30,000 x 3000 (Unit of A) = 10.

10 Characteristics of the agent are verified, operations, auto showrooms, parking Therefore in this example the building not its extinguishing potential. garages and workshops. would require a minimum of five 2-A. For Class D, only the amount of agent High hazard occupancies are rated extinguishers. and application method needed to locations where the total amount of Class This ABC extinguisher is rated control a metal fire of a certain size and A combustibles and Class B flammables 3-A:40-B:C. The 3 and the 40. type is tested. indicate the extinguishing present, in storage, production, use, potential for Class A and Class finished Product , or combination thereof, B fires respectively. The C. For Class K, the extinguisher must is over and above those expected in indicates that the agent will extinguish 80 lbs.
