How often should you have a fire extinguisher checked?
Have your fire extinguisher checked once a year by an approved company.
Without a check, an extinguisher can lose pressure or develop defects without you noticing. For a private home, this annual inspection isn’t mandatory, but it is recommended. Keep the inspection label as proof.
- Find an approved fire extinguisher maintenance company
- Schedule an annual check

In Belgium, an annual inspection according to NBN S21-050 is required by law for professional and public buildings (Royal Decree of 28/03/2014), not for a private home.
