Importance of Fire Inspections
Fire can be wild & unpredictable. In Australia, fire extinguisher standards are primarily governed by Australian Standards AS2444 and AS1851.
Regular inspections by trained personnel to service & tag fire equipment should occur every 6 months to make sure they are visually inspected for indications of damages or leaks.
A pressure test is also required every 5 years where an accredited tester will empty, pressure test and refill each fire extinguisher. In addition, yearly services on some fire extinguishers are also required.
Failure to maintain fire extinguishers in accordance with regulations can result in fines, penalties, and compromised insurance coverage.
