Fire Extinguisher Servicing

FIRE EXTINGUISHER is an active fire protection device used to extinguish or control small fires, often in emergency situations. 


In Malaysia, fire extinguishers are generally required to be serviced and inspected by a Fire Protection service company at least annually. Some jurisdictions require more frequent service for fire extinguishers. The servicer places a tag on the extinguisher to indicate the type of service performed (annual inspection, recharge, new fire extinguisher) and when.

There is two type of service we perform:
