This page aims to provide
the reader with a brief overview of our equipment service.
As mentioned in the About Us section in
greater detail, our BS EN ISO
9001:2000 certification certifies that the service we provide is
undertaken to the standards laid down in
BS 5306-3:2003 - the main standard applicable to the servicing of
portable fire extinguishers.
The checks and work carried out during a properly undertaken service
are quite detailed and the reader is referred to this
document for the detail as to what
is involved in our equipment service. Our
BS EN ISO 9001:2000 certification by a
UKAS-accredited independent third
party shows that we do this work properly.
Please note that during our normal service visit (usually an annual
visit) we provide the 'basic
service' and, where so required by the
standard, the
'extended service' for each
extinguisher. Additionally, we also conduct a site
extinguisher-survey to ensure the level of cover at your site is appropriate.
The 'visual inspection'
is a check required at least monthly. This is not an inspection that we
normally conduct as it is can be undertaken by the user. however, we can
also provide this service if so requested.
Just like with most other services, additional parts and labour are
frequently required. Details as to the reasons that apply to the most
common types are provided in the links to the section pages to the right.
Unlike the vast majority of services, however, the work required is
very precisely laid down in the British
Standard. Therefore, our BS EN ISO
9001:2000 certification by a UKAS-accredited
independent third party, along with the other factors laid down in the
About Us section should provide you with complete
peace of mind that we do the job properly and do no more than required.
