When completing an Equipment Audit Form, here’s some relevant information on fire extinguishers.
|
|
How to Find the Age of your Fire Extinguisher
|
|
There are a number of places you can look to find the manufacturing date of your fire extinguisher.
|
The date should be stamped at the bottom of the cylinder, or be printed as a number below the label.
|
|
Life of a Fire Extinguisher
|
|
The contents of your fire extinguisher can become ineffective over time.
|
|
General wear and tear can also affect the functionality of your device.
|
|
There is no set fire extinguisher expiry period in Australia.
|
However, there are standards in place to ensure an extinguisher and its contents are working properly.
|
|
The AS/NZS 1851:2012 standard for the routine service of fire protection systems and equipment dictates how often extinguishers need to be tested and recharged.
|
|
According to this standard, all portable extinguishers need to be tested and tagged at least once every 6 months.
|
|
Visual inspections, pressure checks, and refills will ensure that the contents of your extinguisher have not expired.
|
Being a pressure vessel it is a requirement that they are tested by a professional every 5 years (hydrostatic test), generally easier and more cost-effective to replace instead.
|
Section 4.04 of the Special Regulations has helpful information regarding the basics of checking your extinguisher. Dry Chemical Powder (Red with White Band) are highly susceptible to failure due to the vibration and compaction of the powder inside due to the movement of the boat. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED each MONTH to remove the extinguisher, invert it and shake/tap on the bottom until the powder loosens.

WARNING to Rottnest Boaters!
|
|
The first decent break in the weather and Rottnest does not look so far away. We have just received this message from the Rottnest Authority that “Repairs are underway to the FUEL SUPPLY” - so anyone going to Rottnest must ensure that they have sufficient for a RETURN TRIP. ULP is still available – but that could quickly change. So if you are thinking of Rottnest – Return trip fuel is a must! If you have any doubts – Don’t Go!
|
|
Rottnest Island Authority will signal the “all clear” when the repairs are finalised!
