FWIW, mine is suppose to be CAMS rated, with the powder supposedly of a higher rating than the Bunnings job.

Any chance you could snap a pic of the label & post it up?Quote:

Here's an example from the weekend of just how effective "cams approved" fire extinguishers are. What started as an under-bonnet fire, quickly became this:

One 4kg fire bomb, two 1kg hand-held and one 2kg hand-held extinguishers later:

Fire bombs have to be FIA approved and use AFFF as the extinguishant. Hand-helds are just ABE to AS1841 - nothing special. The only thing cams requires above AS1841 for hand-helds is that the extinguisher must remain restrained under an acceleration of 25g (how they measure it is beyond me). Here's the link to schedule H of the cams manual if anyone is interested:

They are all pretty much useless, especially with anything turbocharged. All they are really designed to do is give you a little extra time to get out of the car.
