Home / Fire Extinguisher Service
Annual certifications, recharges, hydrostatic testing, and new equipment — including the Class K coverage every commercial kitchen is required to carry within 30 feet of cooking equipment.
NFPA 10 service intervals
NFPA 10 governs the inspection, maintenance and testing of portable fire extinguishers. Here's the schedule — we track every date for you so nothing lapses before an inspection.
| Service | Interval | Applies to / who |
|---|---|---|
| Visual inspection | Monthly | Your staff — we provide a free checklist and show you how |
| Certified maintenance + new tag | Annually | All extinguishers — performed by a Vista technician |
| Internal examination | Every 6 years | Dry-chemical (stored-pressure) extinguishers |
| Hydrostatic test | Every 12 years | Dry-chemical extinguishers |
| Hydrostatic test | Every 5 years | Class K wet-chemical, CO₂, and water-based extinguishers |
Intervals reflect NFPA 10 and apply as adopted by your local AHJ. The Class K wet-chemical extinguisher required near your cook line is on the 5-year hydrostatic cycle — a detail that's easy to miss and one inspectors check.
One vendor. One visit. One file.
Your hood cleaning (NFPA 96), extinguishers (NFPA 10), and suppression-system inspections can land together — so nothing critical falls through the cracks before an inspection. Juggling three vendors is how something gets missed.
