Fire Extinguisher Requirement Calculator
Estimate the mandatory quantity and specific types of portable fire extinguishers required for your commercial building, factory, society, or warehouse based on Indian Standard IS 2190 coverage principles.
Facility Parameters
IS 2190 requires a minimum of 2 units per floor regardless of area.
Coverage allowance: 1 extinguisher per 200 m².
Total = Math.max(Floors × MinUnits, Math.ceil(Area / CoverageFactor))
= Math.max(2 × 2, Math.ceil(1000 / 200)) = 5 units
Travel distance requirement: Extinguishers must be located so that travel distance from any point is ≤ 15 meters.
Suggested Extinguisher Mix & Placement Reasoning
Multi-purpose protection for Class A combustibles (furniture, files) and general building spaces.
Clean agent residue-free protection for server rooms, electrical panels, UPS, and workstation hubs.
