Fire extinguisher testing & inspection services

Fire extinguishers are your first line of defence against fire. Over 90% of all fires are controlled or extinguished with a hand held fire extinguisher. Having your extinguishers tested at regular intervals (as stated in AS1851) will save lives. Celtic Security Services team will ensure that your fire extinguishers are working as they should and provide the necessary protection against future fire risk.
Here in Australia we have several different types of fire extinguishers. Each extinguisher has its own purpose and contains unique contents designed to control a certain class of fire. At Celtic Security Services our specialist fire extinguisher servicing technicians are familiar with each type of extinguisher as well as how often they need to be tested.
All businesses have a responsibility to protect their employees. Providing your staff with maintained fire protection equipment will ensure they have the best chance of avoiding harm in an fire emergency. Minimise damage to your property and remain compliant with national workplace safety standards. The servicing of fire extinguisher devices must be conducted by a competent person who holds a QBCC licence.

How often do I need fire extinguisher maintenance?

AS1851 states that fire extinguisher test and refill services should occur at the following intervals:
1. All portable and wheeled fire extinguishers need to be tested every 6 months.
2. Pressure testing and refills should be carried out at once every 5 years.

Records of the tests and their dates should be kept on the metal inspection tag attached to each extinguisher. The fire extinguisher tag should only be stamped by a trained individual holding a QBCC license (stamping a tag without a license is a chargeable offence under the Fire and Emergency Services Safety Act 1990). We ensure our safety testing staff have access to the support and ongoing training they need to provide communities with reliable fire protection services.
