Fire Extinguisher Monthly Check Logger
NFPA 10 monthly visual checks across facilities — pressure, seals, access, signage and service dates — GPS/location-tagged, offline route log.
New extinguisher inspection
NFPA 10 requires monthly visual checks (30-day intervals), annual professional maintenance, and 6-/12-year internal services by type.
Field guide: Fire Extinguisher Monthly Check Logger
The NFPA 10 monthly check is a 30-second look that fails in predictable ways at scale: extinguishers walk away from loading docks, get buried behind pallets, quietly lose pressure, or carry service tags two years expired — and nobody notices until the fire marshal or the fire does. A route logger with per-unit IDs and locations converts 'someone checks them monthly' into a time-stamped record per device, which is exactly what inspectors ask to see.
The two date fields carry the compliance calendar: annual professional maintenance, and the 6-year internal / 12-year hydrostatic services by extinguisher type. Exported as CSV and sorted by due date, this log is also your service-contract scope — no more paying to re-tag units that vanished, or missing the dock unit that protects the highest-hazard corner of the building.
Field tips
- Lift each unit briefly — a discharged dry-chem can read fine on the gauge but feel wrong in the hand; CO₂ units are weighed, not gauged.
- Photograph the tag on first logging of each unit; tag history disputes with service vendors end quickly with photos.
- Blocked access is the most common citation: walk the route as if carrying the emergency, not the clipboard.

Frequently asked questions
What does the NFPA 10 monthly check include?+
Location correct and unobstructed, pressure in range, pin and tamper seal intact, no physical damage or corrosion, legible label/instructions, and service tag current. It's deliberately quick — the monthly check is detection, the annual maintenance by a certified technician is diagnosis.
What are the 6-year and 12-year requirements?+
Stored-pressure dry-chemical units get an internal examination every 6 years and hydrostatic testing every 12; CO₂ units hydro every 5. The years live on the service collar/tag. This log's due-year field surfaces them fleet-wide, which is how 12-year-old units stop hiding in plain sight.
How high should extinguishers be mounted?+
NFPA 10: units ≤ 40 lb (18 kg) with the carrying handle no more than 5 ft (1.5 m) above floor; heavier units max 3.5 ft (1.07 m); always at least 4 in off the floor. The 'wrong height' finding usually appears after renovations when units get rehung by whoever painted.
Do I need specific extinguisher types in different areas?+
Yes — Class K for commercial kitchens (and it must be used after the hood system), Class D where combustible metals are processed, CO₂ or clean agent near sensitive electronics. The route log's type field lets a safety officer audit coverage against hazards, not just count cylinders.
