Frequently Asked Questions
Most extinguishers have a metal body and must be serviced annually (i.e. once a year) by a competent person. This generally means by someone with the relevant qualifications or equivalent.
Low-maintenance extinguishers, e.g. P50 extinguishers, are cost-effective virtually service-free fire extinguishers that eliminate the need for a 3rd party servicing company to check them every year, reducing your annual maintenance costs dramatically whilst delivering environmental savings.
Extinguishers with metal bodies require regular servicing, the service checks a number of things and should be completed by a competent person:
• Is the extinguisher in date?
• Is it in visibly good condition?
• Has it been tampered with?
• Is the weight and/or pressure correct?
• Does the pin work?
• Is the hose in good working order?
• Are the instructions on the extinguisher legible?
At the end of the service, the engineer will be able to tell you which extinguishers need replacing or advise on additional extinguishers you may need to bring you in line with regulations.
Service free extinguishers are available, and an annual visual check can be completed by following the manufacturer’s instructions.
Extinguishers should be either fixed to the wall or attached to a stand and clearly signposted with fire extinguisher ID signs fixed to the stand or the wall.
This is to discourage people from moving them around, for example, using them to prop doors open.
Extinguisher ID signs explain which type of extinguisher they are, and how and when to use them.
