Fire Extinguisher Inspection – A Legal Obligation and Safety Priority
Regular inspection of fire extinguishers is essential to ensure that extinguishers function properly in the event of a fire. This obligation is established by Decree No. 719/2002 Coll. of the Ministry of the Interior of the Slovak Republic on the operational capability of fire extinguishers, as well as by Act No. 314/2001 Coll. on Fire Protection.
