Legal
What Are the Legal Requirements for Fire Extinguishers in Commercial Premises?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places responsibilities on the person responsible for non-domestic premises to provide appropriate fire-fighting equipment and ensure it is maintained where necessary. The precise requirements depend on the premises, occupancy, activities and fire risks present.
The selection and positioning of portable fire extinguishers is covered by BS 5306-8, while BS 5306-3 provides recommendations for the commissioning and maintenance of portable fire extinguishers.
Fire extinguishers should be appropriate for the potential fire risks, clearly identified, readily accessible and maintained by a competent person. Businesses should also review their fire protection arrangements when there are significant changes to the building, its occupancy or the activities taking place.
We can help businesses assess their fire extinguisher requirements, providing appropriate equipment, professional commissioning and ongoing servicing to support effective fire safety arrangements.
Servicing
Fire Extinguisher Servicing & Maintenance
Regular fire extinguisher servicing and maintenance helps ensure your equipment remains safe, accessible and ready for use. Businesses should carry out appropriate routine checks, while more detailed servicing should be completed by a competent technician in accordance with the relevant standards and manufacturer’s requirements.
We can provide flexible fire extinguisher maintenance plans, including ongoing annual servicing or one-off servicing where required. During a service, our engineers can check pressure indicators and tamper seals where applicable, inspect equipment for corrosion, damage or leakage, and ensure brackets, signage and access remain suitable.
The service can also include updating service labels and providing appropriate documentation to maintain an accurate record of the equipment.
BS 5306-3 provides guidance on commissioning and maintenance, including more detailed extended servicing requirements for portable extinguishers. Specific servicing intervals can vary according to the type of extinguisher, manufacturer and applicable requirements, so businesses should follow the relevant servicing schedule rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all timetable.
