How Often Should You Refill Fire Extinguishers?

Fire extinguishers save lives — but only if they are properly maintained. A neglected extinguisher may fail exactly when you need it most.

Recommended Maintenance Schedule

Monthly visual inspection: Check pressure gauge, pin, seal, and physical damage.
Annual servicing: Professional inspection, weighing, and refilling if needed.
Hydrostatic testing every 5 years: Pressure test as per IS standards.
Complete replacement: Every 10-15 years depending on type.
