California Fire Extinguisher Tags

The California tag is a 4-year all-in-one tag. It includes sections for Annual Maintenance, 6-Year Maintenance, and Hydrostatic Testing, all on a single tag. It must also bear the CSFM license number of the servicing company. This is similar to the requirements for the arkansas fire extinguisher tag.

Only a technician who is licensed by the California State Fire Marshal and working for a CSFM-licensed fire extinguisher service company is authorized to attach, punch, and sign the official service tag. This action formalizes the service record.

The tag features a grid of months and years. The technician punches out the month and year a service is performed under the correct service column (e.g., Annual, 6-Year). This creates a permanent, unalterable record. This system is similar to what is used on fire extinguisher record tag in a box.

Using the official CSFM-approved tag is a legal requirement for fire code compliance in California. It is the only way to prove to a Fire Marshal during an inspection that your equipment has been serviced by a licensed professional.
