What materials are needed for fire extinguisher annual inspection?

The materials required for fire extinguisher annual inspection need to be distinguished according to the inspection subject (individual/unit) and service mode (inspection/on-site). The core materials are as follows:

1.Essential basic materials

Fire extinguisher body documents

Product certificate: original factory certificate (including fire extinguisher model, production date);

Factory inspection report: must include key parameters such as pressure value and filling amount;

Instruction manual (required by some institutions): operation specifications and maintenance requirements.

Inspection unit certificate

Personal inspection: original and copy of ID card;

Unit inspection:

Copy of business license (stamped with official seal);

Copy of the ID card of the fire safety manager;

Power of attorney (to be provided when acting as an agent).

2.Additional scenario materials

Additional requirements for on-site inspection

Vehicle fire extinguisher annual inspection: copy of driving license (proving the ownership of vehicle-mounted fire extinguisher);

Batch inspection (＞50 units): list of fire facilities (specifying model, quantity, location).

Re-inspection materials after maintenance

Historical maintenance records (such as copies of previous annual inspection labels);

Leakage test report (to be provided for carbon dioxide fire extinguishers).

3.Important precautions

Qualification verification requirements

Maintenance organizations need to provide:

Fire technical service business license;

Fire facility operator certificate;

Certified fire engineer's practice certificate (required for first-class qualification institutions).

Material timeliness

The certificate of conformity and inspection report must be within the validity period (dry powder fire extinguishers need first maintenance if they have been out of the factory for more than 5 years);

The annual inspection page of the business license must be the latest version (from 2025, it must include the business scope of "fire technical services").

Operation suggestions

Pre-inspection self-inspection: confirm that the pressure gauge pointer is in the green area and the bottle body is free of rust and deformation before inspection to avoid rejection due to obvious damage;

Electronic backup: scan and archive the certificate of conformity and inspection report, and some institutions support electronic pre-examination.

Note: The 2025 new regulations require the fire extinguisher bottle body to be R3 standard red. Non-red bottle bodies need to provide compliance certificates or replace with new bottles.
