Inspector Detail
▸
Common issues
- Loss of internal pressure over time (stored-pressure type) requiring recharge
- Foam concentrate degradation or settling if servicing intervals are not observed
- Corrosion of the cylinder body, especially in salt-laden engine room or deck environments
- Damaged or seized discharge valve/hose preventing operation
- Missing or illegible service tag/inspection date
- Mounting location blocking quick access
Inspection checklist
- Check the pressure gauge reading is within the operating band (stored-pressure units)
- Visual check for corrosion, dents, or damage to the cylinder
- Verify the safety pin and tamper seal are intact
- Confirm the extinguisher is in its designated, unobstructed location with correct signage
- Check the discharge hose/nozzle for cracks or blockage
- Verify the service/inspection tag is current and legible
Service intervals
| Visual/monthly inspection (pressure, condition, location) | monthly |
| Annual service by a certified servicing agent | annually |
| Extended service (internal examination per type) | per manufacturer/flag/class interval, commonly every 5 years |
| Hydrostatic test of the cylinder | per manufacturer/flag state interval, commonly every 10 years |
Typical wear limits
| Charge weight/pressure | should remain within the manufacturer's marked operating range - a reading outside this band means the unit is due for service before it can be counted as available firefighting equipment |
Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.
Critical spares
- Replacement AFFF 3% foam concentrate charge, correct type
- Discharge hose/nozzle assembly
- Safety pin and tamper seal set
- Pressure gauge, for stored-pressure units
Safety
- A stored-pressure extinguisher is a pressure vessel - do not attempt to open or service beyond routine visual checks without proper training
- AFFF foam concentrate handling should follow current environmental/disposal rules; some AFFF formulations are subject to PFAS-related restrictions - check the specific product's current regulatory status
- Confirm the extinguisher type is correct for the fire risk at its mounting location before relying on it
Class survey
Note: the catalog type recorded for this entry ('CO2 Fixed System (Engine Room + Cargo)') does not match the actual product, which is a portable AFFF foam extinguisher - the notes above address the portable unit. Surveyors checking portable fire-fighting equipment verify current service tags, correct type and quantity against the fire control plan, unobstructed access, and that servicing/hydrostatic test intervals have not been exceeded.
