Title: Transportation of Portable FFE
Post by: stevew on July 13, 2011, 08:55:58 PM

Can anyone advise me of the requirements for transporting portable fire fighting equipment for use in training.
I beleive that it may come under ADR.

If they are training extinguishers then they are no longer goods, but "in use" equipment and so ADR wouldn't apply as such.

They should just be stored securely. A hazard diamond is only optional.

Thank you both for the reply.

I had read the FIA article and took it that it was referring to new equipment.

The extinguishers are used for training purposes and are stored securely.
