Stay Compliant With Professional Fire Extinguisher Inspection & Testing

Fire extinguishers are often overlooked until an emergency occurs. Without routine inspection and servicing, damaged, discharged, or incorrectly located extinguishers may not be available when they're needed most.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, Responsible Persons must ensure fire safety equipment is maintained through a suitable system of inspection, testing, and maintenance where the legislation applies.

Osterna delivers professional fire extinguisher inspection and testing services that help housing associations, managing agents, and Responsible Persons maintain compliant firefighting equipment across single buildings and large residential portfolios.

Why Routine Fire Extinguisher Inspections Matter

Portable fire extinguishers are often overlooked until they're needed during an emergency. Routine inspection and servicing help identify damaged, discharged, missing, or incorrectly located extinguishers before they affect emergency response or create compliance risks.

Recognised guidance, including BS 5306, recommends routine inspection, servicing, maintenance, and replacement to help ensure fire extinguishers remain suitable for use throughout their service life.

Our fire extinguisher inspection & testing services cover:

Routine fire extinguisher inspections

Pressure and condition checks

Identification of damaged, discharged, or missing extinguishers

Location, signage, and accessibility checks

Asset identification and recording

Fire extinguisher maintenance records

Residential, mixed-use, and commercial buildings

Portfolio-wide inspection programmes
