Track fire extinguisher inspection and refill dates
In Türkiye portable fire extinguishers get a general on-site inspection once a year under TS ISO 11602-2, and at the end of the fourth year the agent is replaced and a hydrostatic test done (Fire Protection of Buildings Regulation, Article 99/7). The building owner, manager or their written delegate is responsible.
Under Türkiye's Regulation on the Protection of Buildings from Fire, portable extinguishers are serviced according to TS ISO 11602-2: a general on-site inspection once a year, and at the end of the fourth year the extinguishing agent is replaced and a hydrostatic test performed.
The service company must hold a refill and service competence certificate and must leave an equivalent extinguisher in place while the unit is away.

Who is responsible?

A common mistake
The claim that extinguishers must be checked every six months does not appear in the regulation, which requires a general inspection once a year and a refill with a hydrostatic test at the end of the fourth year. If your service contract sets a shorter interval, that comes from the contract, not the law.
