Fire Extinguisher Inspection, Recharge, Testing & Certification
Regular maintenance and inspection of fire extinguishers are critical to ensure their reliability and compliance with safety standards. Our services adhere to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 10 guidelines and are enforced by the California Fire Marshal, providing comprehensive solutions for commercial portable fire extinguishers.
Annual Inspection & Certification
We conduct thorough annual inspections to verify that each fire extinguisher is in optimal working condition. This includes checking mechanical parts, ensuring proper pressure, and confirming that the extinguisher is readily accessible and clearly visible. Upon successful inspection, we provide certification to confirm compliance with fire safety regulations.
Six-Year Maintenance & Certification
Every six years, fire extinguishers require a complete teardown maintenance. Our technicians discharge the existing agent, replace the valve stem and O-rings, refill with the appropriate extinguishing agent, and perform leak tests to ensure functionality. This service is essential for maintaining the extinguisher’s effectiveness and compliance with NFPA standards.
Twelve-Year Hydrostatic Testing & Certification
As per NFPA 10, fire extinguishers must undergo hydrostatic testing every twelve years. This process involves testing the cylinder’s integrity under high pressure to detect any weaknesses. Successful completion of hydrostatic testing ensures the extinguisher’s structural reliability and extends its service life.
Recharge & Refill Services
After any discharge, fire extinguishers must be recharged to restore their readiness. We provide prompt and efficient recharge services, refilling extinguishers with the correct agent and ensuring they meet the manufacturer’s specifications.
Compliance & Training
In addition to maintenance services, we offer training programs to educate staff on proper fire extinguisher usage and safety protocols. Regular training ensures that personnel are prepared to act effectively in the event of a fire emergency.
