| When to Inspect | What to Inspect |
|---|---|
| Every year | Fire Extinguishers corrode and take damage over time and require yearly inspection which is very quick and easy. If inspection is done on site, technicians will also note problems such as blocked access to fire extinguishers. |
| 6-maintenance is required every 6th year or when damage is suspected (Inspection included) | 6-Year Maintenance requires discharging the tank and refilling it. |
| Hydrostatic Testing required every 12th year or when damage is suspected. (Inspection included) | 12-Year Hydrostatic Testing requires discharging the tank and submerging it in water to test its integrity. It will be refilled if it passes the test and scrapped if it does not. You’ll need to purchase a new fire extinguisher if it is scrapped. |
