Fire Extinguisher Inspection & Service
Annual maintenance, internal examinations, hydrostatic testing and recharge for portable extinguishers, tagged and recorded under NFPA 10.
Portable extinguishers have four clocks running at once: a monthly visual check the building can do itself, an annual maintenance by a service company, a six-year internal examination for stored-pressure dry chemical units, and a hydrostatic test on a twelve-year cycle for most types. We service on the annual visit, catch the six-year and twelve-year items when they come due, and tag every unit.
What is included
- Annual maintenance with a dated tag on every unit
- Six-year internal examination and recharge on stored-pressure dry chemical units
- Hydrostatic testing on the cycle the standard sets for each type
- Class K units for kitchens and Class D where metals are present
- Mounting height, signage, travel distance and coverage review against NFPA 10
- A monthly-check sheet your staff can use between visits
What you receive
A unit-by-unit inventory with serial numbers, service dates, next-due items and a copy of every tag.
Common questions
Can we do the monthly inspection ourselves?
Yes. NFPA 10 expects a monthly visual check, and a trained staff member can do it. We give you the sheet and show you what to look for. The annual maintenance is the part that needs a service company.
