Fire Classes A–F
Suppression For Every Fire Class
Different fuels demand different agents — and Fipron's range is engineered to cover every fire class recognised across the UAE and GCC, from Class A to Class F.
Different fuels demand different agents — and Fipron's range is engineered to cover every fire class recognised across the UAE and GCC, from Class A to Class F.
Fipron's clean-agent systems suppress every class of fire from ordinary combustibles to flammable liquids, gases, metals, electrical faults and cooking-oil fires. Because each fuel type demands a different agent, our range spans passive in-enclosure protection, room-flooding aerosol, and portable and mobile units, so a single site can be protected across all six classes.
The table below maps each class to the Fipron products suited to it, and shows how the classification compares internationally.
| Class | Fire type — what it is | Fipron protection | Where other systems differ |
|---|---|---|---|
| AClass A | Ordinary combustiblesEveryday solid materials that leave embers or ash — wood, paper, card, cloth, rubber, most plastics and general rubbish. The most common and most easily controlled fire. | Fipron Cord →Fipron Sticker →Aerosol Generator →FRS Extinguisher →FRS Aerosol →MAM Capsules → | ✔ Same in every system. |
| BClass B | Flammable liquidsLiquids and liquefiable solids that ignite and spread fast — petrol, diesel, oil, grease, paints, solvents, alcohol and wax. They float on, and are spread by, water. | Fipron Cord →Fipron Sticker →Aerosol Generator →FRS Extinguisher →FRS Aerosol →MAM Capsules →MAM Concentrate → | United States: Class B also includes flammable gases (the US has no separate gas class). |
| CClass C | Flammable gasesFires fuelled by burning gas — LPG, propane, butane, methane, natural gas, hydrogen and acetylene. The first priority is to shut off the gas supply, because an unburned leak can build up and explode. | Fipron Cord →Fipron Sticker →Aerosol Generator →FRS Extinguisher →FRS Aerosol →MAM Capsules → | United States: no gas class exists — gas fires are grouped into Class B instead. |
| DClass D | Combustible metalsReactive metals that ignite and burn at very high temperatures — magnesium, titanium, sodium, potassium, lithium and aluminium swarf. They react violently with water, so they need specialised suppression technology. | FRS Extinguisher →FRS Aerosol →MAM Capsules → | ✔ Same in every system. |
| EClass E | Electrical equipmentFires in live, energised electrical equipment — wiring, motors, switchboards, appliances, servers and chargers. Isolate the power first to eliminate the shock risk. | Fipron Cord →Fipron Sticker →Aerosol Generator → | United States: labelled Class C. Europe / UK: no letter — extinguishers are simply marked safe for electrical use. |
| FClass F | Cooking oils & fatsHigh-temperature fires in cooking oils and fats — deep-fryer oil and vegetable or animal fats in kitchens. They burn far hotter than ordinary liquids and need a wet-chemical agent that cools and seals the surface; water causes a violent flare-up. | Fipron Cord →Fipron Sticker →Aerosol Generator →FRS Extinguisher →FRS Aerosol →MAM Capsules → | United States: labelled Class K. |
