It outlines the procedures for refilling and servicing fire extinguishers to ensure they function effectively in case of a fire emergency. Below are the key requirements related to fire extinguisher refilling and servicing as per IS 2190

✅ Fire extinguishers must be serviced at least once a year by a competent person.
✅ Only approved refilling agents and spare parts must be used.
✅ Hydrostatic pressure testing must be done at prescribed intervals.
✅ A detailed record of maintenance and refilling must be kept.

🔹 Visual Inspection: Check for damage, corrosion, leaks, and tampering.
🔹 Discharge Test: Ensure the extinguisher is empty before refilling.
🔹 Cleaning: Remove residual extinguishing agent and clean internal parts.
🔹 Refilling: Use the correct extinguishing agent as per the manufacturer’s specifications.
🔹 Reassembly & Sealing: Reassemble the extinguisher, ensuring all components are in place.
🔹 Hydrostatic Testing: If required, perform pressure testing before recharging.
🔹 Labeling & Tagging: Update the service tag with the date of refilling, next due date, and technician details.
🔹 Final Inspection & Handover: Ensure proper working condition before returning to service.

✅ Extinguishers must be maintained by trained personnel.
✅ Ensure IS-marked refilling materials are used.
