Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
				  Portable fire extinguishers shall not be installed as the sole protection for
				  flammable liquid hazards of appreciable depth [greater than ¼ in. (0.64
				  cm)] where the surface area exceeds 10 sq. ft. (0.93
				  m2).
EXCEPTION: Where personnel who are trained in extinguishing
					 fires in the protected hazards are available on the premises, the maximum
					 surface area shall not exceed 20 sq. ft. (1.86
					 m2).
(b) For flammable liquid hazards of
				  appreciable depth, a Class B fire extinguisher shall be provided on the basis
				  of at least two numerical units of Class B extinguishing potential per sq ft
				  (0.0929 m2) of flammable liquid surface of the
				  largest hazard area. For fires involving cooking grease or water-soluble
				  flammable liquids, see 566 (b) and 566 (d).
EXCEPTION: AFFF or FFFP type extinguishers may be provided
					 on the basis of a 1B rating of protection per sq ft of hazard.
(c) Two or more extinguishers of lower
				  ratings shall not be used in lieu of the extinguisher required for the largest
				  hazard area.
EXCEPTION: Up to three AFFF or FFFP extinguishers may be
					 used to fulfill the requirements provided the sum of the Class B ratings meets
					 or exceeds the value required for the largest hazard area.
(d) Travel distances for portable
				  extinguishers shall not exceed 50 ft (15.25 m) as shown in Table 3.
(e) Scattered or widely separated hazards
				  shall be individually protected. An extinguisher in the proximity of a hazard
				  shall be carefully located to be accessible in the presence of a fire without
				  undue danger to the operator.

				  the basis of the anticipated Class A or B hazard.
NOTE: Electrical equipment should be de-energized as soon
					 as possible to prevent reigniting.
