Like annual inspections, per Connecticut State Fire Code, NFPA 10, and OSHA, your fire extinguishers need periodic internal maintenance inspections every 5, 6, or 12 years, depending on the type of fire extinguisher. Fire extinguisher internal maintenance inspections (every 6th year) involve discharging the fire extinguisher and performing a complete internal examination and recharge to ensure all components of the fire extinguisher are in optimal working condition. Periodically, fire extinguisher cylinders will also need to be hydrostatically tested - every 12th year or 5th year, depending on the type of cylinder. This requires the fire extinguisher to be emptied, placed underwater, and subjected to pressures exceeding its ratings. Fire extinguishers that fail this test will be destroyed, while those that pass will be reassembled, recharged, and placed back into service.
