Fire Ratings

FIRE
RATINGS
The true assessment of the
extinguishing power of a
fire extinguisher
What is a Fire
Ra3ng?
To measure the power or intensity of fire

and the power of an ex5nguisher needed to
kill that fire, a universally accepted method
of tes5ng is formulated.

These tests are called Fire Ra3ng
tests.
How are Fire Ra3ngs arrived at?
Standards define a highly specific method of ligh3ng a fire and
then puEng it out using an ex3nguisher to assess the
ex3nguisher’s fire ra3ngs in case of both, Class A and Class B
Fire ra3ngs. Each test fire is designated by a number (which indicates
a fire size) followed by the leBer A, which denotes class of fire.
Class A Fire Class B Fire
Class A Fire Ra3ng Test
Prepara3on
A specific variety of wood is selected
with specific density & moisture
content and is cut into pieces to form a
crib.

This crib is constructed with precise
parameters of spacing between two
pieces, height, length and width basis
the size of the fire and corresponding
fire ra5ng test.

This crib is then placed on top of a metal
frame of a specific height. A metal tray is
placed under the crib that stores the
fuel for ligh3ng the fire.
Test Procedure
Fuel in the tray under the crib is ignited.

AGer the fire has burnt for a specified
dura5on the tray is removed. The crib is
then permiNed to burn for a further
specified 3me period for the fire to be
established fully.

The fire ex5nguisher is put into ac5on at
this point and the operator discharges
the ex5nguisher in the best possible way
to ensure maximum ex5nguishing
power.
Test Procedure
The maximum ex5nguishing 5me should

not exceed a specific 5me period
prescribed. In all cases the fire shall be
observed for 3 min from that point.

For the test to be successful, all flames
must be ex3nguished and there should
be no reoccurrence of flames in the 3
min observa3on period.
Class B Fire Ra3ng Test
Prepara3on
A circular metal tray of a prescribed

volume is used to store fuel i.e.
Heptane fuel and water is used.

The radius of tray is given by the square
root of the ra3ng number in decimeters
For example, for 55B fires the radius of the
tray is square root of 55 i.e 7.4 decimeters
or 74 cen5meters approx.
Prepara3on
There is a specific method to determine

the volume of Heptane (Fuel) required.
For example-‐ for 55B fire it is derived by
2/3rd of 55 ltr (36.7lts) an the balance is
water (18.33ltr)

Other dimensions of the tray and fuel are also
kept very specific depending upon the size of
fire and corresponding ra5ngs. These include
the depth of fuel & water in the tray, the
height from the surface of the fuel to the rim,
etc.
Test Procedure
The fuel is now ignited and to

allowed to burn for a specified 5me
period.

At this point the fire ex5nguisher is
pressed into ac5on.

If the fire gets ex3nguished and
there is no reoccurrence of flames,
the fire ex3nguisher passes the test.
Class F Fire Ra3ng Test
Prepera3on
The Class F Fire Ra5ng test is

required to be done indoors, in a
room of a specified dimensions and
w i t h a s p e c i fi e d a m b i e n t
temperature.

The test is required to be done
Vegetable Oil with an auto ingni3on
point of not less than 360 Degrees
Celsius.
Test Procedure
The Oil is heated in a test tray using a

suitable hea5ng arrangement.

Oil temperature must be measured
u s i n g a s p e c i a l l y d e s i g n e d
thermometer at a point that is 25mm
below oil surface and at least 75mm
from the walls of the tray.
Test Procedure
On auto igni5on, the fire is allowed

to burn freely for 2 minutes.

AGer 2 minutes of pre-‐burn, the
ex5nguisher is put to ac5on and fired
from the distance specified in the
ex5nguisher, but the distance should
not be lesser than 1m from the
nozzle and the tray.

F i r e m u s t b e c o m p l e t e l y
ex3nguished to pass the test.
Indian standards (BIS) and
European standards (EN) on
Fire Ra3ngs.
Both, Indian Standards (BIS) as

well as European Standards
(EN) have laid out extremely
comprehensive test
procedures to conduct fire
ra5ng tests on ex5nguishers.

What really makes a
difference is adherence to the
protocol during tests.
Indian Standards (BIS) and European
Standards (EN) have both laid out their
unique method of fire ra5ng tests.

While both standards are largely
similar in-‐principle, the real
difference lies in how
closely the standards are
guarded and not
compromised at the 5me
of carrying out the tests.
At Ceasefire we carry out our EN
Ra3ng Tests in European union
cer3fied labs.
While there are lot of private labs in
India which carry out Fire Ra5ng tests,
the standards and procedures where
are oGen compromised, at Ceasefire
thanks to our European
Cer3fica3on requirements, all our
ra3ng tests are conducted only in
European Union cer3fied labs.

This lends tremendous credibility to
our ra5ngs as compared to what’s
offered by the industry.
Power when
you need it
At Ceasefire we have built & tested our
fire ex5nguishers to such impeccable
standards that as a result they carry
highest Fire Ra5ngs.
Upto 3 Times
Higher Fire Ra3ngs
Ceasefire fire ex5nguishers carry
upto three 5mes higher ra5ngs than
the industry average. This is the
biggest tes5mony of our supreme
quality.

The De-‐ra3ng Factor
A very important aspect associated with
Fire Ra5ngs is the De-‐ra5ngs factor which
essen5ally highlights the fact that
fire Why?
tests are conducted in controlled lab environments where fires are
fought with best fire ex5nguishers and highly trained fire fighters.

However, in real life fire emergencies it will be mostly untrained people in highly
chao5c, fearful situa5ons who will have to baBle the flames. To compensate
for the “amateur / untrained” aspect of the person
figh3ng the flames in real life, the achieved ra3ngs of the
fire ex3nguishers must be De-‐rated by 2.5 3mes.
Ceasefire’s 3X Ra3ngs
compensates for the
amateur firefighter in you.
Why?
While other manufacturers only talk about their Fire Ra5ngs obtained
under test condi5ons (which too is upto 3 5mes lower than Ceasefire)
Ceasefire’s 3 5mes higher Fire Ra5ngs easily compensate for the

“2.5 De-‐Ra5ng Factor” so that you s5ll have enough fire
figh5ng power on your side to win your baBle
against fire.
