BC Fire Code requires that fire extinguishers in commercial, industrial, and multi-family properties be professionally inspected every year by an ASTTBC-certified technician. Many property owners across the Tri-Cities and throughout British Columbia don’t know the full schedule. Here’s what NFPA 10 and BC Fire Code require and how to stay compliant.

Annual inspections verify pressure, condition, and tamper seals. Every six years, extinguishers require a full internal inspection. Every twelve years, hydrostatic pressure testing is mandatory. Missing any of these milestones can result in failed occupancy inspections and fire code violations.
