P50 service-free extinguishers save companies hundreds of pounds and contribute to a greener planet, says Safelincs.
Changing to the P50 service-free extinguisher has saved companies, such as universities, schools, offices and hospitals, up to £300 per extinguisher over a 10 year period and has helped them to meet their carbon footprint initiatives. Many organisations are realising the benefits of this ground breaking extinguisher and are moving away from traditional extinguishers, which require an annual service by a qualified engineer, a refill after 5 years and usually replacement after 10 years.
The unique advantage of the P50 range of extinguishers is that they do not require an annual inspection by an extinguisher engineer, instead, in-house personnel can carry out an annual visual inspection.
While traditional extinguishers are made of steel and as such are prone to corrosion from the extinguishing agents contained within them, P50 extinguishers are made from non- corroding composite plastics as well as plated brass and stainless steel, eliminating issues with corrosion. This robust construction makes them perfect for all environments, including areas outside and around swimming pools.
How is the carbon footprint reduced? There are several factors that contribute to a lower carbon footprint. Firstly, annual inspections carried out by the customer reduce the CO emissions that are linked to an external service engineer’s visits. Also, all P50 extinguishers are guaranteed for 10 years and can then be refurbished for a further 10 years, reducing waste. P50 extinguishers do not require a test discharge and refill after five years, as the internal cylinder is corrosion-free. This halves the amount of chemicals required over the extinguisher’s lifespan. The extinguishers are also100% recyclable.
Safelincs makes the introduction of the P50 service- free extinguishers easy for you. We offer to introduce the extinguishers either gradually, in line with the existing extinguishers reaching the end of their service life, or in one installation. We will work with you and plan the installation process to suit your needs. We even offer consolidation of traditional extinguishers with residual service life into parts of the property, while introducing the P50 series in other parts of the site.
As the customer will not receive service engineers’ visits for ten years, Safelincs takes the correct installation and ongoing visual inspection by the end customer extremely serious. When purchasing the P50 extinguisher, our customers

automatically receive a free site survey, professional installation, commissioning and, very important, training. Our BAFE-certified engineers will first of all carry out a site survey to make sure that you have sufficient extinguisher cover. They then install and commission the extinguishers, issuing you with an extinguisher cover certificate. We then train your staff in the simple visual inspection of the extinguishers and issue you with a formal training certificate.
The P50 range of extinguishers are Kitemarked by BSI to EN3, CE marked and subjected to the most rigorous performance tests. They have already been successfully introduced into the UK’s most prestigious luxury hotel in Knightsbridge, the best known British College, as well as refineries, cathedrals and churches, universities and well known tourist attractions across London.
