Since 1997 due to European law the colour coding of fire extinguishers slightly changed, previously all fire extinguishers were colour coded but the whole body of the fire extinguisher was specific such as water fire extinguishers were completely red, Co2 fire extinguishers had black painted cylinders, foam fire extinguishers had cream coloured cylinders and dry powder fire extinguishers had full blue cylinders.

Post 1997 production started with fire extinguisher manufacturers producing all fire extinguishers in the colour red, with one exception, there had to be at least 5% of the total fire extinguisher cylinder mass painted or colour coded with labels to match the original colour of the contents as they were previously, for example 2 Litre Foam Fire Extinguishers are now all red but should have a cream band or label at the front of the fire extinguishers which signifies the old colour system, however water fire extinguishers were manufactured with no change as they were previously all red anyway.
