What must be documented on the label for fire extinguishers passing the 6-year internal examination?

For fire extinguishers that pass the 6-year internal examination, it is essential to document maintenance information on the label. This documentation serves multiple important purposes. First, it provides a record that the extinguisher has been properly inspected and maintained according to safety regulations and manufacturer guidelines. This information is vital in maintaining compliance with applicable fire safety codes and standards.

Further, documenting maintenance information ensures that all relevant parties, including fire marshals, facility managers, and safety personnel, are aware of the status of the extinguisher. It aids in identifying any repairs or necessary replacements in the future, ensuring that the equipment remains functional and ready for use in the event of a fire. This practice reinforces the importance of routine maintenance as part of an overall fire safety strategy.

Other factors, such as the date of manufacture, inspection frequency, and type of extinguishing agent, while significant, do not pertain specifically to the results of the 6-year internal examination. Therefore, while those details are important for understanding the overall context of the extinguisher’s use and history, they do not have to be documented in the same manner as maintenance information after the internal examination.
