EFR Fire Extinguisher Inspection & Certification
2 Types of Fire Extinguisher Inspections
Monthly Fire Extinguisher Inspection
We offer monthly inspections. If your business requires monthly service, EFR performs this service, please contact the office.
Although your fire extinguisher tag does not expire for one year, it is good safety practice and we highly recommend our customers to routinely look over your fire safety equipment, at least monthly, to ensure it has not been tampered with throughout the year and is ready in case of an emergency. We will provide you with any of the documentation that your Insurance Company requires to show that your fire extinguisher equipment is being inspected properly.
Annual Fire Extinguisher Inspection & Certification
Fire extinguishers must be maintained annually in accordance with local, state, and national fire codes and regulations. This is a thorough examination of the fire extinguisher's mechanical parts, fire extinguishing agent, and the expellent gas.
EFR Fire & Safety Technicians are ready to perform the annual maintenance because they have the appropriate servicing manuals, tools, recharge materials, parts, lubricants and the necessary training and experience. Your fire extinguishers are tagged each year and require a new tag to be attached to each unit after the inspection is complete. Be aware of the month that your fire extinguishers were inspected the prior year. Your tags do not expire until the month marked on your fire extinguisher tag.

The annual Fire Extinguisher inspection will include a detailed assessment of each fire extinguisher's mechanical parts, fire extinguishing agents and expellant gas.
Key elements of a fire extinguisher inspection include:
1. Inspect the pressure on the gauge.
2. Inspect the condition of the gauge and its compatibility with the extinguisher.
3. Verify the hydrotest test date is within code requirements.
4. Verify the previous 6-year maintenance inspection date.
5. Inspect the valve and shell for damage or corrosion.
6. Inspect the condition of the discharge horn.
7. Break the fire extinguisher seal and extract the locking pin. Inspect the handles and verify the valve opening is free from debris or powder. Replace the locking pin and reseal the extinguisher with new tamper seal. Tidy up the extinguisher.
8. Verify that the unit is located according to code, clearly visible, unobstructed, hung properly and at specified height from the ground code.
Once the inspection is complete our Service Technician will consult with your company's representative to discuss any additional work that needs to be performed. You will incur additional charges if the fire extinguisher does not pass the inspection or is in need of additional maintenance such as recharges, hydrotesting, etc. Once all corrective measures have been taken, an Illinois State Certification Tag will be awarded to each fire extinguisher unit.
