Common FAQs
Regular fire extinguisher servicing is essential for ensuring your equipment will function correctly in an emergency.
It’s also a legal requirement under fire safety regulations. Servicing ensures extinguishers are properly pressurised, free from damage, and contain the correct extinguishing agent.
This protects your employees, customers, and property, and helps your business remain compliant with fire safety laws.
A professional fire extinguisher service typically includes:
- Visual inspection: Checking for damage, corrosion, and proper placement.
- Pressure check: Ensuring the extinguisher is correctly pressurised.
- Weight check: Verifying the contents are at the correct level.
- Hose and nozzle inspection: Checking for blockages and damage.
- Safety pin and tamper seal inspection: Confirming they are intact.
Fire extinguishers should be visually inspected monthly by a responsible person within the business.
A professional service is required annually. Some types of extinguishers also require an extended service or overhaul every 5 or 10 years, including hydrostatic testing.
It is important to keep accurate records of all inspections and servicing.
If a fire extinguisher fails a service, it must be repaired or replaced immediately. A failed extinguisher poses a significant safety risk.
Depending on the issue, a technician may be able to repair the extinguisher on-site. If repairs are not possible, the extinguisher will be replaced with a compliant unit.
The cost of fire extinguisher servicing varies depending on factors such as the number and type of extinguishers, the service provider, and the location of your business.
