After a Fire Extinguisher Discharge
It is crucial to promptly service and refill any fire extinguisher that has been discharged.
These extinguishers contain specialized firefighting agents, so it is essential to consult licensed and trained professionals for guidance and service.
Entrusting fire extinguisher maintenance to qualified individuals is vital. Certain firefighting agents are classified as ozone-depleting substances, and only companies with Extinguisher Agent Trading Authorization (EATA) are permitted to handle these agents.
Additionally, service providers should be licensed gas cylinder test stations (LGCTS).
Having fire extinguishers tested or refilled by unlicensed or uncertified personnel poses a significant risk, as it may cause the extinguishers to fail when needed most.
