Just because something isnt standard accredited, doesn't immediately make it illegal.

I would be surprised if it was in fact illegal - because it's certainly not illegal to carry my shopping from safeway in the cabin of my car. A 3 litre bottle of milk is just as (if not more) dangerous than this fire extinguisher.
