Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If nozzles, valves, or horns imported separately
Individual components for projecting mechanisms are parts, distinct from assembled charged extinguishers.
If CO2 cylinders sold empty for industrial gas storage
Pure carbon dioxide in containers not designed for fire suppression shifts to inorganic chemical gases.
If integrated into larger HVAC or lab suppression systems
Units functioning as part of fixed machinery for dispersing gases may classify under industrial machinery.
