Safety clip and Check to see if the extinguisher may have

indicating devices been operated
Pressure indicating device Where fitted, check to see that the pressure is
within limits. Check that dust covers on
pressure-indicating devices and relief valve are
in places.
External examination Inspect for corrosion, dents or damage which
may effect the safe operation of the extinguisher
Weight Weight the extinguisher and check the mass
compared to the fully charged extinguisher
Hose and nozzle Check that hoses and nozzles are clear and
undamaged
Operating instruction Check that they are in place and ligible

ISO 3941
Class A: Fire involving solid
material, usually of an organic
nature, in which combustion
normally takes places with the
formation of glowing embers
Class B: Fire involving liquid or
liquefiable solids
Class C: Fires involving gases
Class D: Fires involving metals
Class F: Fires involving cooking
oils
NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (NFPA 10)
Class A: Fires in ordinary combustible materials such
as wood, cloth, paper, rubber and many plastic.
Class B: Fire in flammable liquids , oils greases, tars ,
oil base paints, lacquers and flammable gases.
Class C: Fire, which involve energized electrical
equipment where the electrical non-conductivity of
the extinguishing medium is of importance ( when
electrical equipment is de-energized extinguishers for
class A or B fires may be used safely)
Class D: Fire in combustible metals such as
magnesium, titanium, zirconium, sodium, lithium and
potassium
Class K : Fires involving cooking grease, fats and oils
 10.Periodical inspection and
maintenance
ANNUAL INSPECTION
