Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I be servicing my fire extinguishers?
“It is the duty of the responsible person to ensure that extinguishers are maintained regularly by a competent person. Portable fire extinguishers are regarded as “life safety equipment” and a planned system of maintenance is intended to ensure that the equipment is:
- in an efficient working state (safe);
- in working order (reliable);
- in good repair (efficient);
- suitable for the hazard (fit for purpose).”
– BS 5306-3 (6 Maintenance intervals – Commentary on Clause 6)
BS 5306-3 also states that “visual inspections should be carried out [by the Responsible Person] at least once a month. When circumstances require, inspections should be carried out more frequently.” – Clause 11.2 Instructions for visual inspection.
