Fire extinguisher servicing and maintenance is crucial for ensuring the functionality and reliability of the fire extinguishers in your building. It is a critical aspect of fire safety management for all building operators and employers. Regular servicing and testing ensure that these vital safety tools are always ready to protect lives and property in the event of a fire. Ensuring that fire extinguishers are in proper working condition can make the difference between a minor incident and a major disaster.

If you’ve already had a fire risk assessment performed, it’s essential to follow up with regular servicing to ensure your fire extinguishers continue to meet the required standards. Learn more about our fire risk assessments here.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO)

In the UK, fire safety regulations are governed by specific laws. In England and Wales, The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO) sets out the requirements for fire safety, including the maintenance and testing of fire extinguishers. This legislation mandates that all fire safety equipment, including fire extinguishers, must be regularly maintained to remain effective and compliant with safety standards. The RRO places the responsibility on building operators and employers to conduct regular risk assessments, implement appropriate safety measures, and ensure that all fire safety equipment is functional.

British Standards BS 5306

Why Follow British Standards for Fire Extinguisher Maintenance?
The British Standard BS 5306 provides detailed guidance on the maintenance of fire extinguishers and the appropriate types for various fire risks. This standard outlines best practices for the commissioning, servicing, and periodic inspection of fire extinguishers. It specifies the types of extinguishers suitable for different classes of fires and includes recommendations for the frequency and type of maintenance checks required.
Following BS 5306 helps ensure that fire extinguishers are not only compliant with legal requirements but also optimally prepared to handle specific fire scenarios, enhancing overall safety in the building.

Regular Inspection & Maintenance

To comply with fire extinguisher servicing standards, all fixed and portable fire extinguishers in your building should undergo a monthly visual inspection to ensure they are in proper working condition and accessible. Regular inspections are crucial for meeting legal requirements and ensuring safety.

For a comprehensive safety check and to ensure you’re meeting fire safety regulations, contact us for a fire risk assessment.

This check should be documented to ensure ongoing compliance with fire extinguisher maintenance regulations. Furthermore, a specialist should perform a comprehensive annual safety service and issue the necessary certification to confirm that your extinguishers meet all safety requirements.
