Since 1997 all fire extinguishers must contain a red body with the emphasis being placed on the use of the equipment, rather than the content. An area of colour coding may still be used on the apparatus providing it is no greater than 5% of area of extinguisher itself. Equipment should be stored in a readily accessible area easily visible without obstructing any exit routes, preferrably wall mounted at the correct handling height, with the correct content identification sign above it for quick selection of the correct extinguisher for the type of fire.
