Fire Extinguisher Servicing — Cape Town & the Western Cape
C4 Fire & Security services fire extinguishers on site across Cape Town and the Western Cape, to SANS 1567. Our SAQCC-registered technicians pressure-test, inspect and tag every unit on the same visit, then issue a compliance certificate before they leave, usually without removing a single extinguisher from your premises.
Annual servicing is mandatory under SANS 1567, with hydrostatic revalidation every three years for dry chemical powder and every five years for CO2. We schedule and track every date so nothing lapses before an insurance or fire-department inspection.

Fire Extinguisher Supply and Servicing
C4 Fire & Security provides fire extinguisher supply, annual servicing, revalidation and SANS 1567 compliance for commercial, industrial and residential properties across Cape Town and the Western Cape. SANS 1567 requires every portable fire extinguisher to be serviced at least once a year by a registered service provider, with the cylinder hydrostatically pressure-tested every three years for dry chemical powder units and every five years for CO2 units. Our SAQCC-registered technicians carry out the full service on site, including pressure check, weight check, seal and tamper inspection and component replacement, then apply a dated service tag and issue a signed compliance certificate before they leave. We track every service and revalidation date for you, so your extinguishers never fall out of compliance ahead of an insurance or fire-department inspection.
