Published by SALUSI am unable to determine the expiration date of a fire extinguisher from the provided documents. However, the documents do state that portable fire extinguishers and fixed fire extinguishing systems should be installed, inspected, tested, and serviced per the applicable NFPA standards and the manufacturer's installation, service, and maintenance manuals [1]. Any fire extinguisher that cannot be maintained per these guidelines should be removed and replaced [1].
