Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I be servicing my fire extinguishers?

“It is the duty of the responsible person to ensure that extinguishers are maintained regularly by a competent person. Portable fire extinguishers are regarded as “life safety equipment” and a planned system of maintenance is intended to ensure that the equipment is:

  • in an efficient working state (safe);
  • in working order (reliable);
  • in good repair (efficient);
  • suitable for the hazard (fit for purpose).”

– BS 5306-3 (6 Maintenance intervals – Commentary on Clause 6)

BS 5306-3 also states that “visual inspections should be carried out [by the Responsible Person] at least once a month. When circumstances require, inspections should be carried out more frequently.” – Clause 11.2 Instructions for visual inspection.

BAFE All BAFE SP101 Registered Companies and employed fire extinguisher technicians follow set criteria which observe best practice as laid out in British Standard BS 5306 parts 3, 8 and 9. Fire Queen is a BAFE SP101 Registered Company and ensure that all of our technicians are fully trained

What is BS 5306?

BS 5306 is the British Standard for Fire extinguishing installations and equipment on premises.

The BAFE SP101 Scheme observes the following parts:

  • BS 5306-3 covers the code of practice for Commissioning and maintenance of portable fire extinguishers.
  • BS 5306-8 covers the code of practice for Selection and positioning of portable fire extinguishers.
  • BS 5306-9 covers the code of practice for Recharging of portable fire extinguishers.

This covers the multiple skills required to competently provide fire extinguisher services you may require to help fulfil your fire safety obligations. It is not the public’s responsibility to know these details, but to be confident that their chosen provider does.

However, BS 5306-3 does note “It is the duty of the responsible person to ensure that extinguishers are maintained regularly by a competent person. Portable fire extinguishers are regarded as “life safety equipment” and a planned system of maintenance is intended to ensure that the equipment is:

  • in an efficient working state (safe);
  • in working order (reliable);
  • in good repair (efficient);
  • suitable for the hazard (fit for purpose).”
