Gwangju Bukbu Fire Station Urges Replacement of Powder Fire Extinguishers Over 10 Years Old View original image

The service life of a powder fire extinguisher is 10 years, and if this period has passed, it should be replaced or its performance should be checked to extend its use.


The service life can be confirmed through the manufacturing date or expiration date indicated on the side of the powder fire extinguisher body.


Fire extinguishers with corroded exteriors or reduced pressure due to poor storage conditions must be replaced.



Alternatively, they should be disposed of by entrusting them to a waste disposal agency. You can inquire by phone with the relevant company or apply through the 'Yeogiro' app or website, pay the fee, and then proceed with disposal.
