What Huntsville, Texas Businesses Must Inspect, and How Often
Commercial fire extinguishers follow a four-tier NFPA 10 schedule:
| Schedule | NFPA 10 Requirement |
|---|---|
| Every 30 days | Your staff makes a visual check of access, damage, pressure, and the tag. |
| Every year | A registered fire protection firm performs the professional annual inspection. |
| Every six years | Stored-pressure dry chemical extinguishers receive internal maintenance. |
| Every five or 12 years | Hydrostatic testing is due, depending on extinguisher type. |
Texas adopts NFPA 10 by reference at 28 TAC 34.507, a section titled Adopted Standards. That rule adopts the standard. The right interval for each unit still depends on its type, its agent, and its service history.
A tag alone does not prove that internal maintenance or pressure testing is current. Track every unit by type, condition, and last service date. Your records should show what work was completed, when the next service is due, and whether a unit needs repair or replacement. Good records also save time when an inspector asks for proof of past service.
Kitchens add a second schedule. Commercial kitchen hood suppression systems need inspection every six months, so a fire alarm inspection in Huntsville, TX often lands on the same visit as a hood check.
Who Is Licensed to Perform the Annual Inspection in Texas?
In Texas, a firm that services portable fire extinguishers must hold an Extinguisher Certificate of Registration (ECR) from the State Fire Marshal’s Office. A firm that services fire alarms needs an Alarm Certificate of Registration (ACR).
Industrial Fire holds ECR-2061363 and ACR-2368800, both issued by the Texas State Fire Marshal. Ask any vendor for its registration number before work starts. Our technicians can review the equipment at your Huntsville property and flag overdue maintenance before an inspection date is missed. If a unit is damaged or past its test date, we explain whether recharge or replacement costs less for that extinguisher.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fire Protection in Huntsville, Texas
Who Inspects Commercial Fire Extinguishers in Huntsville, Texas?

Check each extinguisher visually every 30 days and schedule a professional inspection every year. Stored-pressure dry chemical units also need internal maintenance every six years.
