🔍 Key Concepts

• Fire extinguisher inspection and maintenance standards (NFPA/USCG practice) • Difference between loss of weight/charge vs. cylinder structural integrity testing • What action is required when an extinguisher is not fully charged but otherwise in good condition

💭 Think About

• If a CO2 extinguisher has lost 10% of its charge, is it still considered reliable in an emergency? Think about what the standard requires for readiness. • Which option is a maintenance action that restores the extinguisher to full service, and which options are more about testing or delaying action? • Does a 10% loss of charge indicate a problem with the cylinder’s strength, or just with the amount of extinguishing agent inside?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice directly addresses bringing the extinguisher back to full capacity for safe use. • Separate actions related to periodic pressure/weight checks from those related to safety/strength testing of the cylinder. • Confirm whether waiting (delaying action) is acceptable when equipment is below required service condition.
