Factory Fire Extinguisher Solutions India
LIFEGUARD® – Complete Factory Fire Extinguisher Solutions for Industrial Fire Safety in India
Factories and industrial facilities operate with complex fire hazards involving machinery, electrical systems, fuels, lubricants, chemicals, packaging materials, plastics, textiles, paper, wood and other combustible materials. A single type of fire extinguisher may not be suitable for every area of a manufacturing facility.
LIFEGUARD® provides comprehensive factory fire extinguisher solutions in India, helping industries select, supply and deploy suitable fire extinguishing equipment according to the specific fire hazards, application requirements and applicable Indian Standards.
Manufactured by United Fire Equipments Pvt. Ltd. (UFEPL), LIFEGUARD® offers a broad range of fire extinguishers and fire safety equipment for factories, manufacturing plants, warehouses, workshops, power plants, infrastructure projects, commercial buildings and other industrial applications.
A properly designed factory fire protection strategy combines the right extinguisher type and fire rating with appropriate placement, accessibility, inspection, maintenance and trained personnel. India's IS 2190:2024 specifically provides guidance for the selection, installation and maintenance of portable and wheeled first-aid fire extinguishers.
Factory Fire Extinguisher Solutions by LIFEGUARD®

- Large-capacity trolley-mounted extinguishers
- Industrial fire safety equipment
- Special hazard fire suppression solutions
The selection of equipment should be based on the fire hazard, fire classification, extinguishing rating, installation environment and applicable project requirements.
Fire Extinguisher Solutions for Different Factory Areas
A manufacturing facility can contain multiple fire hazards under one roof. LIFEGUARD® helps customers identify appropriate extinguisher categories for different areas of the plant.
1. Production Floor Fire Extinguisher Solutions
Production areas may contain machinery, motors, electrical equipment, raw materials, lubricants, packaging and combustible products.
A factory fire extinguisher solution for production floors can include appropriately rated ABC extinguishers and other specialised extinguishing equipment depending on the specific hazards.
Extinguisher locations should be readily accessible and should not be obstructed. IS 2190:2024 states that extinguishers should be conspicuously located and readily available, preferably along normal paths of travel and near exits.
2. Electrical Room Fire Extinguisher Solutions
Electrical rooms, MCC rooms, control panels, transformer areas, UPS rooms and instrumentation rooms require careful extinguisher selection.
CO₂ fire extinguishers are commonly considered for suitable electrical applications because they do not leave a dry powder residue. However, the final extinguisher selection must be based on the specific equipment, fire risk and applicable standard.
3. DG & Generator Room Fire Protection
Diesel generator rooms can involve diesel fuel, lubricating oil, electrical equipment and high-temperature machinery.
A suitable fire extinguisher arrangement may include:
- ABC extinguishers
- CO₂ extinguishers for appropriate electrical hazards
- Foam-based equipment where applicable
- Wheeled extinguishers for higher-risk areas
The final selection should be based on the actual fuel and equipment hazards.
4. Warehouse Fire Extinguisher Solutions
Factory warehouses may contain cartons, plastics, packaging, textiles, finished goods, raw materials and other combustible commodities.
LIFEGUARD® can provide extinguisher solutions for:
- Raw-material warehouses
- Finished-goods warehouses
- Packaging stores
- Chemical stores
- Spare-parts stores
- Logistics areas
- Distribution centres
Warehouse fire protection should consider the commodity, storage arrangement, fire load, storage height and applicable fire-protection requirements.
5. Chemical Factory Fire Extinguisher Solutions
Chemical manufacturing facilities can present specialised fire hazards depending on the chemicals, solvents, gases and production processes involved.
For chemical plants, extinguisher selection should be based on compatibility between the extinguishing agent and the materials involved.
LIFEGUARD® can support project-specific requirements involving portable extinguishers, wheeled extinguishers and engineered suppression systems.
6. Oil & Fuel Handling Areas
Factories handling petroleum products, lubricants, oils and other flammable liquids require fire extinguishers suitable for the identified risks.
Depending on the hazard, solutions can include appropriate dry chemical powder, foam and wheeled fire extinguishing equipment.
7. Workshop Fire Extinguisher Solutions
Maintenance workshops may involve:
- Welding
- Cutting
- Lubricating oils
- Greases
- Fuels
- Electrical tools
- Machinery
- Metalworking
- Combustible materials
A combination of extinguisher types may therefore be required instead of relying on a single product.

BIS lists IS 15683:2018 – Portable Fire Extinguishers – Performance and Construction – Specification and IS 16018:2012 – Wheeled Fire Extinguishers under the Fire Extinguishers section of its compulsory certification framework.
IS 15683:2018 addresses performance, reliability and safety requirements for portable extinguishers and covers categories including water-based, foam-based, powder, carbon dioxide, clean-agent and water-mist extinguishers.
For factory installations, IS 2190:2024 provides guidance covering selection, installation and maintenance of portable and wheeled fire extinguishers. It also emphasises that extinguisher type, size and number should be determined according to fire hazard classification and fire rating.
LIFEGUARD® supports customers in identifying products according to applicable specifications, certifications and project requirements.
Portable Fire Extinguisher Solutions for Factories

IS 16018:2012 specifies requirements for wheeled fire extinguishers, including safety, reliability and performance requirements. BIS notes their suitability for high-hazard applications where higher discharge flow and longer discharge duration are required.
Factory Fire Extinguisher Installation Solutions
Supplying extinguishers is only one part of factory fire protection.
Correct installation is equally important.
A professional installation plan should consider:
- Fire hazard classification
- Extinguisher type
- Fire rating
- Travel distance
- Accessibility
- Visibility
- Mounting arrangement
- Floor layout
- Machinery locations
- Emergency exits
- Electrical hazards
- Chemical hazards
- Storage arrangements
- Environmental conditions
IS 2190:2024 specifies requirements concerning extinguisher accessibility, visibility and mounting. For example, portable extinguishers with a gross mass of 17 kg or less are to be installed so that their top is not more than 1.5 m above the floor, subject to the standard's requirements.
Factory Fire Extinguisher Inspection & Maintenance
A fire extinguisher is effective only when it is available, charged, accessible and in proper operating condition.
LIFEGUARD® can support industrial customers with fire extinguisher maintenance-related requirements, including:
- Periodic inspection
- Recharging
- Servicing
- Hydrostatic testing where applicable
- Valve inspection
- Hose inspection
- Pressure-gauge inspection
- Extinguishing-agent verification

IS 2190:2024 emphasises that extinguishers should be maintained in a fully charged and operable condition and kept at their designated locations when not in use.
Factory Fire Extinguisher Audit & Assessment
Before recommending a fire extinguisher solution, an industrial facility can benefit from a fire-risk assessment.
The assessment can review:
Fire hazards → Fire classification → Fire rating → Extinguisher selection → Quantity → Location → Accessibility → Inspection → Maintenance
This approach helps avoid the common mistake of installing identical extinguishers throughout a facility without considering the individual risks.
