REPOSTED!! Any business owners on here: don't be conned by being told Foam extinguishers are banned. The REACH EU ban relates to 10000 listed products include FIREFIGHTERS foam containing PFAS not portables, commercial fire extinguishers haven't contained these chemicals for 10 years and are not banned under REACH EU or UK nor the Environmental Agency.

The decision to ban PFAS announced by the European Commission and member states includes the UK.
