Thanks for the information Harry and Tom. I guess the best thing all round is to work with the landlord and request that future test details are added to the individual extinguishers this will ensure that we are working to best practise as well as meeting any regs. Thanks.

Shawn & Tom, thanks for the information but just to clarify this point here is the scenario behind the question. We are renting office space in someone else's building and are querying the requirements in relation to fire extinguisher inspections and records. The landlord has produced a certificate stating that the fire extinguishers were serviced (some of which were discharged and refilled) in March 2013. This information has not been recorded on the labels fixed to each extinguisher (although it had on previous years). So I guess my question is does the landlord have to ensure this information is recorded on the labels or is the certificate sufficient evidence of the service? Just want to make sure I fully understand the requirements.

Hi, can you tell me if it is a legal requirement to record all the fire extinguisher inspection details on a label attached to each extinguisher or is it acceptable to provide a report / certificate with details as follows: Date of inspection, result of inspection (satisfactory / faulty), remedial action taken (if any), date fault rectified (if any), signature of engineer
