Q

Annual servicing of a hand portable CO2 fire extinguisher includes __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Maintenance schedules for CO2 extinguishers (difference between annual inspection vs. hydrostatic test intervals) • How CO2 charge condition is normally checked on a non‑discharged extinguisher • Typical features of CO2 extinguishers (do they usually have a pressure gauge?)

💭 Think About

• Which of these actions would be too destructive or time‑consuming to perform every single year on every extinguisher? • Which option describes a quick, non‑destructive check of the extinguisher’s readiness that makes sense for an annual service? • Think about how you can tell if enough CO2 is still in the cylinder without actually setting it off.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices are normally done on a multi‑year cycle (not annually), such as hydrostatic tests and complete discharge/overhaul. • Check whether a CO2 extinguisher commonly has a pressure gauge like a dry chemical extinguisher. • Recall that annual service often involves confirming the correct charge of agent in the extinguisher—how is that practically verified for CO2?
