FIRE EXTINGUISHER INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE AND TEST DISCHARGING
The maintenance of the fire extinguisher is, by law, the responsibility of the user.
The user is required quarterly (although monthly is favoured) to check the location and presence of the extinguisher and that they have not been discharged or damaged.
Annually the extinguisher must be inspected by a competent person and all extinguishers that pass are to be labelled “INSPECTED” together with the date and identifying mark of the competent person. Usually this is on an indelible durable label firmly fixed to the extinguisher but could be in a specific logbook providing unique identification of the extinguisher is possible.
At intervals not exceeding 5 years the powder extinguisher shall be test discharged by a competent person. The cylinder has a 20 year lifespan should all maintenance tests be positive.
In all cases extinguishers should be maintained and tested in accordance to BS 5306 part 3.
