Fire Extinguisher Testing
As a business owner or manager, you are responsible for workplace safety. How would you answer the question, “Are your fire extinguishers in operational order?”
Fully functioning and professionally serviced fire extinguishers are essential. That’s why only expert fire safety technicians should inspect fire extinguishers.
Jim’s Fire Safety installs, tests, refills, and maintains fire extinguishers in accordance with NZS4503:2005 standards. Our long list of quality fire extinguisher services includes:
- Selecting the correct extinguishers for the specific environment
- Installing them in strategic locations for quick and safe access
- Regular testing at least once every 12 months (6 months for hostile environments)
- Special examination for wet chemical and foam fire extinguishers every 3 years, including discharging test and recharging
- Hydraulic pressure tests
- Professional refilling of extinguishers
- Recording tests on the yellow inspection tag
Making sure your fire extinguishers are correct for each work environment, and that they are tested and maintained regularly, is easy thanks to the experts at Jim’s Fire Safety.
RCD and Electrical Equipment Testing
On top of inspecting fire equipment, Jim’s Fire Safety technicians are trained to perform test and tag and RCD testing services. We can service your entire property in one easy appointment, keeping your staff safe in an emergency.
Why is Fire Extinguisher Testing Crucial?
Businesses across NZ need to be fire safety-aware and prepared. With fully functioning fire extinguishers, you’ll know you’re ready and able to extinguish a small fire before it becomes out of control.
Fire extinguishers, like any equipment over an extended period, can deteriorate or problems can occur, making them less effective. They may:
- Become damaged or corrode
- Lose pressure
- Get clogged hoses
- Fail to activate
- Become obsolete
- Explode in extreme circumstances if activated when faulty
- and more
There’s a simple way to avoid these serious issues. Engage Jim’s Fire Safety professionals for regular fire extinguisher inspection in Tauranga.
Our team are highly experienced technicians who receive ongoing training to stay up-to-date with the latest regulations.
How Often Do You Need Fire Extinguisher Testing in Tauranga?
Our Tauranga fire safety team tests and inspects portable and wheeled extinguishers in accordance with the NZS 4503:2005 standard for Hand Operated Fire-Fighting Equipment. According to this standard, your equipment must be tested at least once every 12 months. This time frame could be shorter (depending on the nature of your business). We recommend a 6-month interval in most businesses. Further tests are required every few years.
After we’ve worked on your property, we can manage your future testing requirements by adding your details to our system and sending you a notification when your next test is due. We’ll also keep a copy of your test results in our system in case you ever need access to them.
