Understanding fire extinguisher inspection
A fire extinguisher inspection is a documented check of each portable extinguisher to verify it is in its designated location, fully charged, unobstructed, and visually in good condition. NFPA 10 requires monthly inspections by building staff and annual certified maintenance by a licensed technician.
NFPA 10 is the Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers. It defines inspection intervals, maintenance requirements, recharge procedures, and hydrostatic testing intervals.
We perform annual certified maintenance, internal inspections at required intervals, recharging, and tagging. We do not sell new extinguishers, but we can recommend suppliers if you need replacements.
Our inspection checklist
- Location and accessibility of each extinguisher
- Pressure gauge reading in the green operating range
- Visual condition — dents, corrosion, damage, or tampering
- Seal and tamper indicator intact
- Label legibility and operating instructions
- Extinguisher type appropriate for the hazard (A, B, C, K, etc.)
- Mounting bracket or hanger condition
- Monthly inspection tag signature and dates
Inspection frequency
NFPA 10 requires monthly visual inspections (typically performed by building staff) and annual certified maintenance by a licensed technician. Internal inspections and hydrostatic testing are required at intervals ranging from 5 to 12 years depending on extinguisher type. Oklahoma enforces these intervals through the State Fire Marshal and local AHJs.
