Fire Extinguisher Maintenance Ireland — Professional Servicing & Certification
Procheck carries out fire extinguisher maintenance for businesses across Ireland, working to the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2007 and I.S. 291 — the Irish Standard for fire extinguisher selection, installation and maintenance. Under the Act, all workplaces must maintain fire fighting equipment in safe working order. Therefore, regular servicing is a legal requirement for every Irish business.
As part of every service, Procheck inspects all extinguishers and records any equipment that needs replacement. Furthermore, we recharge or replace extinguishers where needed and issue I.S. 291 records on receipt of payment. In addition, we schedule reminders for your next service date so nothing lapses.

What You Get With Every Service
What Does Fire Extinguisher Maintenance Involve?
Under I.S. 291, fire extinguishers need a monthly visual check, an annual service and a full discharge test every five years. Specifically, the annual service covers a physical inspection of the body, valve, hose, pressure gauge and safety pin. In addition, Procheck checks the weight or pressure to confirm the charge is intact. As a result, we flag any extinguisher that needs recharging or replacement before it fails in use. Furthermore, we record the service date and next due date on a label attached to each extinguisher so your records stay current.
Procheck carries out all inspections to I.S. 291 and consequently issues the records you need for the HSA and your insurer. Moreover, we produce a written report on completion of every visit. Therefore, you have full documentation before any HSA inspection or insurance query arises.
Procheck keeps a register of all extinguishers serviced at your premises and flags any that need recharging or replacement.

If a fire occurs and your extinguishers lack a current service record, your insurer may refuse to pay out on a claim.
