As the fire safety industry continues to evolve, there are significant changes ahead that will impact how everyone approaches fire extinguisher firefighting foams. In particular, the increasing restrictions on per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in firefighting foams demand staying ahead of the curve.
At FireRite, their commitment to customer satisfaction and support has always been at the heart of everything they do. They understand that navigating these complex regulatory changes can be overwhelming, but they are here to guide at every step of the way.
What’s Changing?
The UK and the EU are introducing stricter regulations on the use of PFAS in firefighting foam
As part of the ongoing shift towards sustainability and safety, both the UK and the EU are introducing stricter regulations on the use of PFAS in firefighting foams. These chemicals, which have been widely used in foam formulations, are now under intense scrutiny due to their persistence in the environment and potential health risks.
There are increasing moves towards banning these substances, particularly in firefighting foam used in training, testing, and aviation sectors. The UK is likely to follow suit, with the possibility of restrictions coming into play as early as 2026.
At FireRite, they have already transitioned to fluorine-free alternatives, ensuring that their products meet the highest standards of safety, sustainability, and compliance.
