Fire Extinguisher Servicing

[Sharman]

Hi

I have a Lifeline 2000 2.25 mechanical plumbed in extinguisher and a Commander hand held. I pressume they both need servicing after two years? If so is it me or are they heavily cashing in to service them £38 + post to look over it and maybe weigh it! Is their a cheaper company, do you have to go to specialist's for car extinguisher's (pain if one has to go to a Lifeline specialist and another to a Commander specialist) or can you use any fire extinguisher servicing?

Any advice welcome

Regards

Peter

No need, if you are only doing MSA events and they are in the green on the gauge then you are fine.

Hi Matt

Thanks for that. I know you should know, but still supprised with answer since all the literature says must be serviced, have you seen any statements where it says this.

There is no MSA regulation which requires extinguishers to be 'in date' just they need to be in green.

Thanks Matt. Should save me a few pennies.
