The Utah service tag

Every time an extinguisher is serviced it gets a new tag, 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 inches high and 2 1/2 to 3 inches wide, reading "DO NOT REMOVE, BY ORDER OF THE STATE FIRE MARSHAL" at the top. One side carries the type of license, the State Fire Marshal's Seal of Registration, the concern's E-number, name and address, the type of service and extinguisher, and the date, plus the EE certificate number and signature of the person who did or supervised the work.

Seals, hydrostatic tests and condemned units

Seals are plastic or non-ferrous wire with no more than a 14 pound break strength, and they come off every year to confirm the pull pin is free. An extinguisher due for a hydrostatic test is not serviced until it passes; one that fails is condemned and stamped, and units that do not meet the rules come out of service untagged. A new extinguisher needs no service tag until a year after its manufacture date.

Licensing and the shop

No concern may service extinguishers without a State Fire Marshal license, renewed every year after an equipment and performance inspection. Each location applies separately with public liability insurance of at least 100,000 dollars per incident and 300,000 dollars total, and each shop or service vehicle carries the minimum equipment, approved seals and a copy of NFPA 10. Tags and collars may only be removed to replace them at the next service.

From the walkthrough to a finished Utah report

Note each extinguisher's location, type and serial number, what you did, and any unit that failed or was condemned. ReportDraft lists the service by serial number with your E-number and EE number in the header, matching what goes on each tag.

Common mistakes

  • A tag without the EE certificate number or signature.
  • Reusing last year's tag instead of attaching a new one.
  • Leaving the seal on at the annual inspection.
  • Tagging an extinguisher that failed its hydrostatic test.
  • Steel wire seals.
