Most fire extinguishers in South Africa are classified to handle specific types of fires only—for example:

• Water (Class A) – solids like wood or paper

• Foam (Class A & B) – solids and flammable liquids

• CO₂ (Class E) – electrical fires only

• Dry Powder (Class A, B, C) – solids, liquids, gases (not ideal for enclosed spaces)

• Wet Chemical (Class F) – cooking oil/fat fires

💡 Firexo is different. It’s designed and tested to handle all 7 major fire classes, including:

• A – Solid materials (wood, paper, cloth)

• B – Flammable liquids (petrol, paint)

• C – Flammable gases

• D – Metal fires

• E – Electrical fires

• F – Cooking oils and fats

• Lithium-ion – Batteries (e.g. phones, laptops, EVs)

This makes Firexo the only extinguisher you need, reducing the risk of using the wrong type and helping you respond faster in an emergency. All units are tested and certified to meet international safety standards and are ideal for South African homes, vehicles, businesses, and industrial sites.

You can purchase Firexo directly through us — we supply to both individuals and businesses across Gauteng and beyond.

Firexo extinguishers are serviced much like traditional extinguishers. A trained fire equipment technician will inspect the unit using standard procedures, as the vessel and components are broadly the same as other models. However, what sets Firexo apart is its unique, patented extinguishing solution, which should always be replaced with genuine Firexo fluid during maintenance or refilling to ensure continued performance across all fire classes.

Powder extinguishers are effective on certain fire types, but they come with limitations—especially indoors. When discharged, they can reduce visibility, cause disorientation during escape, and may be harmful if inhaled. That’s why health and safety guidelines often advise against their use indoors unless a proper risk assessment has been done.

For a safer, cleaner, and more versatile solution, consider switching to Firexo—suitable for all fire classes, including electrical and lithium battery fires, with no toxic dust cloud.

If you’re unsure, contact us for guidance or to arrange a professional fire risk assessment.

If you own, manage, or operate a business in South Africa, you are legally required to comply with national and municipal fire safety regulations. These are governed primarily by the Occupational Health and Safety Act (Act 85 of 1993), the National Building Regulations, and relevant municipal by-laws.

These laws require you to assess fire risks, maintain proper fire equipment, ensure safe evacuation procedures, and have your extinguishers serviced regularly by certified technicians.

Not sure if you’re compliant? Contact us and we’ll connect you with a qualified fire safety professional to help you assess and meet your legal obligations.

No, servicing your own fire extinguishers is not recommended and may be against legal fire safety requirements. Fire extinguishers have multiple critical components—pressure gauges, handles, hoses, nozzles, and more—that require expert inspection and testing with specialised equipment. Only a trained and certified fire safety engineer can accurately assess and service these parts to ensure your extinguisher will function correctly in an emergency.

In South Africa, fire safety laws place unconditional responsibility on the “responsible person” (owner or manager) to maintain effective fire safety equipment and comply with regulations. Proper servicing by qualified professionals is essential to meet these legal obligations and guarantee your safety.

The Firexo manufacturer is actively expanding the product’s tested capabilities. They are currently conducting tests on additional Class D fires involving soft metals, aviation fuels, and extending lithium battery fire testing. Once these tests are successfully completed, updated certifications and information will be made available on the official Firexo website. We’ll keep you informed with the latest developments as your trusted Firexo supplier.

Firexo’s manufacturer is exploring the possibility of producing their products locally across multiple continents, including Europe, to better serve customers worldwide. They are actively working to meet all necessary certifications—such as CE and PED—to become a certified manufacturer. We’ll share updates as these plans progress, ensuring you stay informed through your trusted Firexo supplier.

PED stands for Pressure Equipment Directive, a safety regulation that applies to pressure vessels, piping, safety valves, and related equipment. It ensures that these components meet strict safety and performance standards. The Firexo manufacturer is responsible for obtaining PED certification, and as your trusted supplier, we verify all certifications to ensure the products we sell fully comply with these rigorous requirements.

Yes, Firexo extinguishers carry the CE mark, which certifies they meet strict European safety and quality standards. While Firexo does not currently manufacture its own extinguishers—they are produced by certified manufacturers—the CE marking applies to those manufacturers. This certification provides peace of mind that you’re purchasing a high-quality, reliable product. The CE mark is common in Europe and complements other international certifications to ensure top safety standards.

Firexo itself does not have an in-house engineering team for servicing business customers. However, we work with a nationwide network of certified service providers who can advise, conduct fire risk assessments, and maintain Firexo products in line with industry standards, including BS 5306 where applicable.

If you’re a business requiring servicing or support, please contact us and we’ll connect you with the right professionals.

Yes. For businesses with 5 or more employees at a single location, South African fire safety regulations require appropriate fire safety infrastructure. This means a fire risk assessment must be conducted before installing Firexo or any other fire extinguisher.

Firexo extinguishers also require annual maintenance and servicing by a trained engineer, ensuring they remain fully operational. We believe safety is paramount, so having regular risk assessments and professional servicing is essential to protect your business and comply with legal requirements

Firexo maintains strict processes and procedures to ensure quality and safety. That said, we strive to be flexible and open to customized solutions where possible. If you’re interested in dual branding or tailored services, please contact us to discuss your specific needs.

Firexo collaborates with a range of respected national and international industry bodies worldwide. For example, Firexo is a member of the Fire Industry Association (FIA) and the British Standards Institute (BSI) in the UK. They continue to build strong relationships and accreditations with government agencies and key stakeholders across Europe, North America, Asia, and the Middle East.

In South Africa, Firexo is actively engaging with relevant local institutions to align with regional standards and ensure the highest levels of quality and compliance.

Yes, Firexo has conducted initial tests on lithium batteries, including both single cells and battery banks burning above a tray of heptane fuel. In these tests, Firexo extinguished the fires effectively and reliably. Testing is ongoing, with plans for larger-scale assessments in the near future. You can view our latest test videos and more information [HERE].

Firexo is a global brand, while the Kitemark is primarily recognized in the UK. Firexo extinguishers carry the CE mark, which aligns closely with the standards the Kitemark represents. This means the products meet rigorous safety and quality requirements, and Firexo could pursue Kitemark certification in the future if desired.

Firexo’s fire ratings and actual fire test videos are available on the official manufacturer’s website, showcasing their product’s superior performance. Unlike many other extinguishers—such as powder types that can be messy and difficult to clean indoors—Firexo offers a cleaner, safer, and highly effective solution. As your trusted Firexo supplier, we’re here to help you choose the right extinguisher for your needs.

Firexo complies with the European EN3 fire testing standards where applicable, ensuring its extinguishers meet recognized safety and performance requirements. As your trusted supplier, we ensure all products come with full certification from the manufacturer.

EN3 is a European standard for testing portable fire extinguishers. It ensures extinguishers meet strict performance and safety criteria for fighting Class A (solids), B (flammable liquids), F (cooking oils) and electrical fires. Firexo products are tested to EN3 standards where applicable, giving you added confidence in their effectiveness.

Yes, the manufacturer of Firexo products is accredited with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001:

• ISO 9001 ensures a strong quality management system, confirming that Firexo products consistently meet customer and regulatory requirements.

The amount of Firexo needed depends on the fire risk, size of the space, and the potential fire classes involved.

We’ve included helpful video examples and simplified explanations to make your choice easier. Still unsure? Contact us — we’re happy to help you select the right extinguisher and size for your needs.

Yes. Firexo rapidly cools the area, making fire debris safer to handle and often cool to the touch. Once the fire is fully extinguished and the area is confirmed safe, you can begin your cleanup. However, never re-enter a fire-damaged area unless you’re certain it’s safe. If in doubt, always seek assistance from emergency services or a qualified professional.

Firexo extinguishers are designed to tackle all major fire classes, including:

• Class A – solid materials like wood, paper, and textiles

• Class B – flammable liquids such as petrol and paints

• Class C – flammable gases

• Class D – combustible metals (select models)

• Class E – electrical fires (not an official class but commonly referenced)

• Class F – cooking oils and fats

At present, Firexo extinguishers cannot be refilled locally. However, we offer a convenient exchange program — simply return your used unit and receive a brand-new extinguisher at 50% of the retail cost.

This exchange option will remain available until Firexo’s certified refilling tanks arrive in South Africa, which is expected around April 2026. Once local refilling begins, customers will be able to refill their existing extinguishers instead of exchanging them.
