With the sale of the extinguisher, our relationship to the customer is just beginning. Annual service and periodic maintenance and testing are required by NFPA and DOT.

Annual Service
Each year fire extinguishers need to be inspected to make sure that it operates effectively and safely. The annual maintenance includes checking for physical damage, broken seals, correct cylinder pressure and hydrostatic testing records.

6 year Maintenance
Every 6 years, stored energy fire extinguishers that require a 12-year hydrostatic test have to be emptied and looked over to make sure that the extinguisher is in proper working order.

Hydrostatic Testing
Hydrostatic testing involves an internal and external examination of the cylinder. NFPA and DOT requires every 12 years portable stored pressure ABC rated extinguishers are requalified. Stainless class A and BC (CO2) rated extinguishers will be requalified every 5 years.
