Portable fire extinguisher inspection
The importance of fire safety cannot be overstated. Portable fire extinguishers are a cornerstone of any comprehensive fire protection strategy. They provide immediate response capability in case of small fires, and their regular inspection is crucial to ensure they remain reliable when needed most. Eurolab specializes in the rigorous inspection and certification of portable fire extinguishers, ensuring compliance with international standards such as ISO 1960:2017, EN 3, and NFPA 10.
The process involves a comprehensive examination of each extinguisher to ensure that it meets all specified requirements. This includes checking the integrity of the container, inspecting the nozzle for blockages or damage, and verifying the proper functioning of the internal components such as the valve mechanism. The pressure gauge is also checked to confirm that the extinguisher is within safe operating limits.
During this inspection, we ensure that all safety features are intact and functional. This includes inspecting the tamper seal, which indicates whether the extinguisher has been used or tampered with since its last inspection. Proper labeling is another critical aspect; labels should clearly indicate the type of fire it can put out (Class A, B, C, D) as well as the weight in kilograms.
The inspection also involves a visual check for any visible signs of damage that could impact performance. This includes checking for rust or corrosion on metal parts and ensuring that the extinguisher is not exposed to extreme environmental conditions that may affect its integrity. Additionally, we ensure that the discharge hose is free from kinks or other obstructions.
For proper functioning, it's essential that portable fire extinguishers are regularly recharged or refilled with the appropriate extinguishing agent. This process involves a thorough inspection to confirm that the container has not been overfilled and that all internal components are in good working order. Recharging is only performed by qualified technicians who ensure that the correct amount of agent is added, thereby maintaining the fire-extinguishing capabilities.
The inspection also covers the nozzle and discharge hose. These components must be free from blockages or obstructions to ensure proper function during a fire emergency. Any issues found are addressed promptly to ensure optimal performance in case of an incident. Our team ensures that all inspections follow strict protocols, ensuring that only compliant units pass our rigorous checks.
