Notes:
- B indicates the CATEGORY OF FIRE the extinguisher is able to extinguish. The number which precedes it indicates the extinguisher’s extinguishing capacity. The higher the number, the greater the extinguishing capacity. The capacity stated is the minimum required.
- Pleasure craft can also be fitted with extinguishers for fire categories A or C, provided they are also approved for category B fires.
- Explanatory notes to circular series III no. 80 of 30 June 1989 issued by the former General Directorate of Navigation and Marine Traffic.
- For craft with CE marking, extinguishers are already installed on board and specified in the owner’s manual. No routine inspection of extinguishers is required. The check involves verification that the extinguisher is in good condition; any pressure indicator must be in the charged zone (green).
