Zenova FX500 are fire rated to:
3A, 21B, 15F
Safe for use on electrical equipment up to 1000v (35kVA dielectric test)
Class A Combustible materials
Class A fires are generally caused by a naked flame or items of high temperatures coming into contact with combustible, carbonaceous materials. Almost all premises are at risk of Class A fires due to the widespread use of such materials.
Class B Flammable liquids/hydrocarbons
Class B fires occur when flammable liquids, such as petrol and spirits, are exposed to a source of ignition. These types of liquid are flammable by design and extremely volatile, if not stored safely.
Class F Cooking oils and fats
Class F fires pose a risk to restaurants and kitchens. Fires from cooking oils and fats can be made significantly worse by using a liquid-based agent to extinguish it.
