The FIA has released a new guidance note designed to support fire safety professionals in the safe handling, transportation and disposal of fire extinguishing powders.

The document provides a clear overview of the key regulatory requirements, good practice for on-site servicing, and considerations for storage, recycling and disposal. Its aim is to help technicians and organisations remain compliant while reducing environmental impact and ensuring powders are managed safely both on and off site.

This concise guidance is particularly useful for service companies, waste carriers and anyone responsible for managing portable fire extinguishers.
