Possible Fraudulent Letter
We were informed by the SABS that there had been a potentially fraudulent letter issued on an SABS letterhead that testing had been done on Fireblock Lithium Gel fire extinguisher and it had passed the requirements. This is untrue and there are currently, no approved Lithium Gel fire extinguishers in South Africa. As a word of caution, you can supply these but cannot service these units as it does not comply with the Act on Building Regulations and therefore in terms of SANS 1475
you cannot affix your 1475 label on this equipment.
