ADR Fire Extinguisher

A fire extinguisher is required in all vehicles carrying dangerous goods; our powder fire extinguishers are manufactured in the European Union to the requirements of EN3 (a European fire extinguisher standard) and CE marked (the CE mark is a compliance and safety certification).

All extinguishers are certified to meet the relevant standard and compliance with ADR regulations for vehicles transporting dangerous goods.

ADR Vehicle Fire Extinguisher Requirements

To comply with the requirements of ADR2025 all vehicles carrying any quantity of dangerous goods, other than dangerous goods packed as Limited Quantities, must carry a minimum of 1 two kilo powder fire extinguisher.

If the vehicle is carrying a dangerous goods load, i.e. greater than that allowed under the small load concessions, zero kilo TC 0, 25 kilo TC 1, 333 kilo TC 2 and 1,000 kilo TC 3, then the quantity of fire extinguishers depends on the size of the vehicle: less than 3.5 tonne, 2 x 2 kilo; 3.5 tonne to 7.5 tonne, 1 x 2 kilo and 1 x 6 kilo fire extinguisher; and for vehicles greater than 7.5 tonne, then a total of 12 kilo - of which one shall be at least 6 kilo. Note these quantities are the minimum requirements.
