CO2 Fire Extinguisher ID Signs help staff, contractors and visitors identify carbon dioxide extinguishers in offices, workshops and plant rooms, supporting safer fire response.
CO2 Fire Extinguisher ID Signs identify carbon dioxide extinguishers and show when they should or should not be used. They help you guide staff and visitors near fire points, electrical equipment areas, workshops and storage spaces where fast extinguisher selection matters.
Best Places to Fit CO2 Extinguisher ID Signs
You should install this sign directly above or beside the CO2 extinguisher, keeping it visible from the approach route. Use it near server rooms, offices, workshops, electrical cupboards, plant rooms and flammable liquid storage points where wrong extinguisher choice can create extra risk.
CO2 Fire Extinguisher ID Sign Viewing Distance
For a 100 x 150mm extinguisher ID sign, keep the viewing position close to the fire point, usually around 1–3 metres. It is intended for direct extinguisher identification, not long-distance route guidance, so avoid hiding it behind doors, shelving or equipment.
| Size | Best viewing use | Practical distance |
|---|---|---|
| H 100 x W 150mm | Close-range extinguisher ID | Approx. 1–3 metres |

CO2 Fire Extinguisher ID Signs questions answered
What are CO2 Fire Extinguisher ID Signs used for? CO2 Fire Extinguisher ID Signs identify a carbon dioxide extinguisher and explain when it should or should not be used.
Where should I fit this sign? Fit it directly above or beside the CO2 extinguisher so it can be read before someone removes the extinguisher from its position.
Why does the sign show electrical equipment? CO2 extinguishers are commonly selected for live electrical equipment risks because the discharge does not leave residue like some other extinguisher types.
Why does it warn against wood, paper and textiles? These are Class A materials, and a CO2 extinguisher may not provide the cooling effect needed to prevent re-ignition.
Can this be used on a CO2 extinguisher stand? Yes, it can be used on a suitable stand or nearby wall, provided the sign remains clearly visible beside the extinguisher.
