Fire Extinguisher Testing Perth
5 yearly Pressure Testing & Refill
In addition to regular fire extinguisher servicing, AS1851 section 15 states that fire extinguishers should have a hydrostatic pressure test carried out on them on a 5 yearly basis. In addition to pressure testing, the fire extinguisher is also refilled.
At Fullworks Fire Safety, we offer pressure testing and refilling for all fire extinguishers, however due to the costs involved in pressure testing and refills please note the following:
- Dry powder fire extinguisher – More economical to exchange for a new dry powder fire extinguisher
- Water Fire extinguisher – generally more economical to exchange for a new water fire extinguisher
- Foam (AFFF) Fire extinguisher – generally more economical to exchange for a new AFFF fire extinguisher
- Wet chemical - generally more economical to exchange for a new wet chemical fire extinguisher
- Carbon Dioxide – CO2 fire extinguishers have heavily engineered cylinders to withstand the extreme pressures involved. Because of this it is always more economical to pressure test and refill unless the CO2 fire extinguisher is over 15 years of age, in which case we would suggest a replacement CO2 fire extinguisher
