What is the standard weight for car fire extinguishers in kilograms?

[LukeFitz]

The minimum standard filling capacity for car fire extinguishers is one kilogram. Some car owners purchase extinguishers with a capacity of 500 grams, which is half a kilogram and falls below the national standard requirements, making them non-compliant. When purchasing a car fire extinguisher, it is advisable to choose a product with a capacity of two kilograms or more, produced by a reputable manufacturer, to more effectively ensure the safety of the vehicle owner's property. The following are key points for self-rescue in case of vehicle self-ignition: 1. The optimal time for self-rescue during a vehicle fire is within 1 to 3 minutes after smoke appears, which is the initial stage of the fire. The fire development stage occurs between 3 to 5 minutes, and beyond 5 minutes is the intense burning stage, where it becomes nearly impossible to control the fire independently, requiring firefighter assistance. 2. Firefighters advise that if the engine catches fire and there is visible flame along with smoke even before opening the hood, self-rescue is likely not feasible, and one should wait for firefighter assistance.
