What are the trends in Fire Extinguisher Tagging?
Certainly, live electronic monitoring of fire extinguishers is the most important trend in the industry. “24/7” supervision of a fire extinguisher’s contents, pressure, location and accessibility has been a goal for many. The latest edition of NFPA 10 is now recognizing some of these electronic maintenance methods. Similarly, RF tagging and bar-code labels are taking some of the manual labor away from the aggravation of periodic checks. On the other hand, the simplicity and obvious paper trail for the traditional fire extinguisher hang tags remain as popular as ever.
