Fire Extinguisher Testing ensures the optimal functionality of your fire extinguishers.
​
Fire extinguishers represent the quickest and most straight forward method of safeguarding both you and your business in the event of a fire. Portable fire extinguishers are utilised to extinguish over 90% of all fires initially, and rigorous testing and maintenance of these devices play a crucial role in saving countless lives.
Ensuring their full functionality through regular maintenance and inspections is paramount for emergency preparedness.
Extinguisher testing occurs at six-month intervals, involving a visual assessment of signage, accessibility, mounting brackets, pressure gauges, safety pins, labels, and security ties. Upon passing the test, the service tag is punched with a number corresponding to the conducted service or inspection.
Australian Standard AS: 1851-2005 requires pressure testing of all extinguishers to be performed as required every 5 years from the date of manufacturing.
