How Frequently Do Extinguishers Require Hydrostatic Testing?

In order to ensure proper function and stability, all fire extinguishers, regardless of the type or storage method, require consistent inspections and maintenance. The inspection schedule follows a simple rotation involving:

  • Annual fire extinguisher inspection. Annual inspections verify fire extinguisher functionality and charge, and check components for signs of damage or wear.
  • Six-year extinguisher inspections. Rechargeable fire extinguishers require a more comprehensive inspection every six years. The service includes emptying the cylinder, testing, and refilling.
  • Hydrostatic testing at 5 or 12 years. During hydrostatic testing extinguisher cylinders will be put under high levels of pressure—generally between 125-150%—in order to ensure the cylinder’s structural integrity is sound.

Hydrostatic testing is critical to ensure your fire extinguisher cylinders have not taken on difficult to detect wear, and for making certain the extinguisher will remain functional and serviceable for the foreseeable future. These tests help to prevent extremely dangerous issues, as extinguishers that cannot handle a potentially higher pressure load may explode or fail during a fire.
