Fire Extinguisher Testing

Fire Extinguisher Testing Sydney

Essential fire safety measures (EFSM) need to undergo regular testing to remain compliant. This includes everything- even your fire blankets and fire extinguishers.  All fire extinguishers need to be tested and maintained on a six-monthly basis according to Australian Standards. By neglecting to have your fire safety equipment tested at this required frequency, you cannot ensure the effectiveness of your extinguisher in the event of a fire emergency. This ultimately means you’re liable should anything go wrong and puts people and property at risk. Don’t take risks, let Betta Fire Protection carry out your fire extinguisher testing today.

Australian Standard AS1851 states that every five years (from the manufacture date) portable fire extinguishers are required to be emptied, pressure-tested and refilled. With over 40 years of experience in scheduled fire extinguisher testing and tagging, Betta Fire Protection’s CFSP’s can assist you with all forms of fire extinguisher testing and services across Sydney.

5-Yearly Pressure Test & Refill

As is with all fire protection equipment, maintenance is crucial to remain compliant. Apart from your regular extinguisher inspection at six-month intervals, every type of fire extinguisher is required to be emptied, pressure-tested and refilled at five-year intervals. This extinguisher maintenance is called extinguisher pressure testing, otherwise known as hydrostatic testing.

Here at Betta Fire Protection, our fire extinguisher testing cost is affordable and our expert team can ensure your fire extinguisher meets the necessary standards.  So, should a fire occur, it can help save lives.  Our fire extinguisher pressure testing is quick and simple and can be included in our inspect & test packages. For compliance you can trust, give us a call on (02) 8669 9100 to organise your fire extinguisher pressure test today.

6-Monthly Extinguisher Testing

Regular extinguisher inspections and extinguisher testing are necessary to ensure they work when you need them most. We inspect, test and tag fire extinguishers every 6 months in accordance with Australian standards.

At Betta Fire Protection, all of our fire extinguisher technicians have completed the FPAS Inspect & Test qualification. This is voluntary in NSW but we make your safety our priority by guaranteeing our technicians are fully qualified to carry our fire extinguisher testing certification. Don’t forget to get your 5-yearly extinguisher refill as well as your 6-monthly testing.

Recharge for Fire Extinguishers

Have you used your fire extinguisher in an emergency? Avoid having to buy a new one by getting a fire extinguisher recharge.

Even if the extinguishing agent inside was not completely discharged, a comprehensive fire extinguisher test will pressure test and recharge the extinguisher in order to make sure it’s ready for its next use otherwise the extinguisher may leak and lose all pressure.

Extinguisher recharging will need to be conducted periodically even if the extinguisher hasn’t been used and testing will need to be done to check for any damage or possible depressurization.

As a leading fire safety company in Sydney, we’re the experts in fire extinguisher pressure testing and extinguisher recharges, so if you need a fire extinguisher recharge, get in contact with us today!
