At which intervals must fire extinguishers be checked for usability?

In Germany, fire extinguishers must be checked every 12 months to ensure they are fully operational and safe to use in case of an emergency. This annual inspection includes verifying the pressure, integrity, and accessibility of the extinguisher. Regular checks help prevent malfunction during a fire, enhancing safety on the road or in workplaces. Remembering this 12-month interval will help you comply with safety regulations and keep fire extinguishers ready for use.
