How often should fire extinguishers be refilled or serviced?

As per IS 2190 standards, fire extinguishers must be inspected quarterly, serviced annually, and refilled immediately after any discharge, even if only partially used. Hydrostatic pressure testing is required every 3 to 5 years depending on the cylinder type.

Do you provide standby fire extinguishers during refilling?

Yes. A S SAFETYZONE provides temporary standby cylinders at your premises during pickup so your housing society or commercial establishment remains compliant and protected while your primary units undergo hydro-testing and refilling.

What types of fire extinguishers do you refill?

We refill and service all major extinguisher types: ABC Dry Chemical Powder (MAP-based), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Mechanical Foam (AFFF), Water CO2, and Clean Agent (HFC-236fa / FK-5-1-12) cylinders.

Certified 6-Step Refilling & Servicing Process

Improper refilling or uncertified powders can cause extinguishers to fail or burst under pressure. At A S SAFETYZONE PVT LTD, every cylinder goes through a rigorous overhaul procedure:

1. Doorstep Pickup & Standby Units

We collect empty or due cylinders from your society or facility and deploy replacement standby extinguishers to maintain continuous on-site protection.

2. Hydrostatic Pressure Testing

Cylinders undergo hydraulic pressure testing (up to 30-35 kg/cm² for ABC and 250 kg/cm² for CO2) to detect hairline fractures and structural weaknesses.

3. Valve & Internal Inspection

Disassembly of discharge valves, safety pins, siphon tubes, and internal linings to eliminate blockages, corrosion, and degraded O-rings.

4. Genuine Chemical Refilling

Precision refilling with pure Mono Ammonium Phosphate (ABC 50%/90%), food-grade CO2, or certified foam compounds matching IS specifications.

5. Nitrogen Pressurization & Leak Test

Stored-pressure units are pressurized with pure, dry nitrogen gas and submerged in testing tanks to verify zero micro-leakage around seals.

6. Certification & Compliance Tagging

Every serviced unit receives a tamper-proof inspection collar, test date punch tag, and maintenance certificate for society audit records.
