- Scope
- This part of BS 5306 gives recommendations on the suitability and siting of portable fire extinguishers, primarily those conforming to BS EN 3, that can be carried by one person and that are used for the protection of buildings and other premises and their contents. NOTE The scale of provision of portable extinguishers will be dependent on the overall risk assessment of the building. Other fire fighting equipment or systems may be provided. Where such other means are provided, expert advice should be sought on the scale of provision. This code of practice does not give detailed recommendations for small private dwellings. The selection and location of portable extinguishers in aircraft, caravans and marine craft are also excluded.
