Fire Extinguisher Survey Standards: What Should You Know for Chemical and Mechanical Industries?

Fire Extinguisher Survey Standards

What standard should be used for a fire extinguisher survey? Is that standard common for the chemical and mechanical industries? Are there any special considerations during the survey when the plant is equipped with a fire hydrant?

Please reply.

I need clarity on your question, i.e., "for Fire Extinguisher survey?" I understood it may be for the installation. Please refer to IS 2190 for "Selection, Installation, and Maintenance of first-aid fire extinguishers - code of practice." This standard is common for any industry. You may carry out the "Fire Risk Assessment" for your industry. Based on the recommendations, you ought to provide the fire safety systems.

Hope this information may serve your purpose.
