Exceptions for Usage of Halon Fire Extinguishers
There are only three main exceptions for Halon fire extinguisher usage; in
aircraft, military use including vehicles and fuel installations, and in the
Channel Tunnel. So, don't worry if you spot a green Halon fire extinguisher
on an airplane - it's allowed to be there!
It appears I am wrong regarding the use of Halon extinguishers. Apparently
Aircraft use is exempt from the ruling. The question is where to get them
from.
I note they are widely available in the USA but suspect importing them into
the UK would present a problem.
