NOTICE
The standard
governing the inspection and testing of portable
extinguishers, NFPA 10,
has recently been updated. The
biggest changes to the standard are as follows:
Obsolete
Fire Extinguishers requiring immediate removal.
• Any extinguisher that can no longer be
serviced by the manufacturer’s manual or parts. (This includes
manufacturers that are no longer in business.)
Fire
Extinguishers requiring removal at next service interval.
• Any Dry Chemical “Stored Pressure”
extinguisher manufactured prior to 1984 shall be removed from service at
the next six-year maintenance interval or hydro-test interval, whichever
comes first.
Certified
Person requirement
•
A definition of “certified person” was added to the 2007 edition to state
that “A person that has been certified by a recognized organization through
a formal certification program or by the equipment manufacturer.”
