Fire Extinguisher 6-Year Maintenance in New Jersey, Delaware & Philadelphia, PA

Fire extinguisher maintenance is one of the most important aspects of fire protection for your building. In addition to monthly self-checkups and annual professional inspections, rechargeable fire extinguishers also require six-year maintenance.

If you need required six-year maintenance for the fire extinguishers in your building in New Jersey, Delaware, or Philadelphia, contact Confires today.

Why Does My Fire Extinguisher Need Six-Year Maintenance?

Every six years, stored pressure fire extinguishers that require a 12-year hydrostatic test (e.g. dry chemical extinguishers) must be emptied and proper maintenance procedures performed [see NFPA 10(98), Sec. 4-4.3]. The exception to this rule is non-rechargeable extinguishers, which are required to be removed from service 12 years from the date of manufacture. Again, this maintenance must be performed by an approved extinguisher servicing company.
