However, the use of vaporizing liquid fire extinguishers manufactured after 1 January 1962 is prohibited.

UL listed extinguishers not bearing Coast Guard marine-type markings are acceptable as equivalent to those bearing such markings, provided that they are of the appropriate types and sizes for their service. NVIC 13-86 provides a table comparing appropriate types and sizes of extinguishers.
