Why Annual Fire Extinguisher Servicing Is Essential
The British Standard BS 5306-3 mandates that all fire extinguishers must undergo annual servicing by a competent person. This isn’t just a regulatory box-ticking exercise—it’s a crucial safety measure:
- Identifies hidden faults that could cause failure during an emergency
- Verifies pressure levels remain within operational parameters
- Ensures all components function correctly when needed
- Extends the service life of your equipment
- Provides legal documentation proving your compliance
- Satisfies insurance requirements and duty of care obligations
Our certified fire safety engineers deliver thorough annual inspections that maintain your compliance while ensuring equipment reliability.
Our Comprehensive Annual Servicing Process
1. Visual Inspection
Our engineers conduct detailed external examinations, checking for signs of damage, corrosion, or tampering while verifying correct extinguisher positioning and signage.
2. Internal Component Assessment
Where necessary, extinguishers are opened to inspect internal components, including discharge tubes, seals, and operating mechanisms for wear or deterioration.
3. Pressure Testing
We verify that pressure levels meet manufacturer specifications, conducting pressure tests to ensure proper discharge capability.
4. Weighing and Contents Verification
Extinguishers are weighed to confirm contents match specified levels, with samples taken for examination where appropriate.
5. Operating Mechanism Testing
All triggers, pins, and handles are tested to ensure smooth operation in emergency conditions.
6. Hose and Nozzle Examination
Discharge hoses and nozzles are inspected for blockages or damage that could impair performance.
7. Certification and Documentation
Upon successful inspection, we apply service labels and provide fire safety certification documenting your compliance with all relevant regulations.
Extended Service Testing
In addition to annual servicing, our engineers perform:
- 5-Year Extended Service: More intensive examination including complete discharge testing
- 10-Year Pressure Testing: Hydraulic pressure vessel testing for certain extinguisher types
- Refilling Services: Replacement of extinguishing agents following discharge or testing
