SI 129 part 1 - Portable fire extinguishers: Maintenance; (15 page(s), in Hebrew)

Revision of the Mandatory Standard SI 129 part 1, dealing with the maintenance of portable fire extinguishers. This national standard is based on the International Standard ISO 11602 and on the American Standard NFPA 10.

The major differences between the old version and this new revised draft standard are as follows:

·        Changes the definitions of certified officials in charge of maintenance and compliance;

·        Changes the structure of the marking disk;

·        Updates the guidelines for the inspection of fire extinguishers and their maintenance according to the different types (Section 8);

·        Updates the requirements of the thorough inspection and the internal hydrostatic test of the different types of extinguishers (section 9). Both the old standard and this new revised standard will apply from entry into force of this revision for a period of one year. During this time, products may be tested according to the old or the new revised standard.
