Fire extinguisher maintenance

Fire extinguishers are a critical part of a fire protection strategy and need to be inspected and maintained annually by a competent person to ensure their viability in an emergency.

Regular maintenance of a fire extinguisher is vital and is, as with all fire safety legislation in England and Wales, part of ‘The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005’, also known as the ‘RRO’.

It explains that where necessary, in order to safeguard the safety of relevant persons, the responsible person must ensure that the premises and any facilities, equipment and devices provided in respect of the premises under this are maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair.

This legal obligation ensures that your fire safety equipment is in good working order and adheres to current regulatory standards. Your business and the lives of everyone in your premises could depend on the correct operation of your fire equipment and systems. Therefore the regular fire inspection and maintenance of fire safety systems is essential.
