What is the purpose of a fire extinguisher inspection tag?

The purpose of a fire extinguisher inspection tag is to show the date of the last service and compliance with regulations. This tag is a crucial component of fire safety as it helps ensure that fire extinguishers are regularly maintained and meet the required safety standards. When a fire extinguisher is serviced, including inspections and maintenance, the tag is updated to reflect the latest service date. This not only informs the building occupants that the extinguisher is in working order but also provides a record of compliance that may be required during inspections by fire safety authorities. Regular inspections and proper documentation via the tag help maintain readiness in case of a fire emergency, where having a functional extinguisher can make a significant difference in mitigating fire hazards.
