Fire extinguisher inspection
Portable fire extinguisher inspection procedure
The annual maintenance operation is a complete verification of the fire extinguisher which ensures that it is operating correctly. It includes the reparation or replacement of defective equipment. This operation also tells us if it is time to proceed to hydrostatic testing or six year maintenance.
It must include a verification of the following points, at least:
- The fire extinguishers must be at the designated location;
- The access to the fire extinguishers and its visibility must be unobstructed;
- The operating instructions on the fire extinguishers’ data plate must be legible and facing forward;
- No seal or improper handling indicator can be broken or missing;
- The fire extinguishers must be weighed in order to determine if they are full;
- They must be examined for any obvious damage, corrosion, leak, or any obstruction of the exit jets;
- Any pressure indicated on the pressure gauges must be in the area or position indicating an operating pressure;
- The condition of the tires, wheels, carts and nozzles must be verified (for units on wheels);
- The WHMIS label must be in place.
A detailed list of your fire protection equipment containing the inventory, location, scheduled hydrostatic testing maintenance dates, and six year maintenance dates will be given to you after our work is completed in order to meet the building code and the NFPA-10 code, to which your municipality’s firefighting service refers.
