Special notes to product groups:

Fire extinguishers

To be covered by our warranty, fire extinguishers must be installed, maintained and periodically refilled in accordance to the manufacturer’s instructions. Any replacement components fitted in the process of maintenance are not covered by our warranty. Accidental damage and misuse of fire extinguishers are also not covered.

For metal extinguishers the warranty extends 5 years from the date of purchase up to, but exclusive of, the first extended extended service due after 5 years.

For extinguishers with a 10 year warranty (eg P50 service-free extinguishers): The warranty extends 10 years from the date of purchase up to, but excluding, the second extended service due after 10 years.

Making a Claim

To make a claim, please contact Safelincs with your invoice number and inform us about the defect. We will discuss the case with you and will agree on a solution for you. You might be asked to provide photos before we can establish the best way forward.

We will either arrange free repair/free replacement for your product or request the return of your product for further analysis. This choice is at Safelincs’ discretion.

Should Safelincs ask for a product back for further analysis or repair, Safelincs will arrange and pay for the transport and the subsequent return.

Should a product be returned to us without being defective, we will return the unit to the customer at cost.

International customers

The warranty still applies; the goods, however, must be sent to us at the customer's expense for repair or replacement and the return shipment must be paid for by the customer.
