Title 19 Extinguisher Tagging Rules
Title 19 mandates that all portable fire extinguishers in California must be inspected annually and fitted with an official State Fire Marshal compliance tag. The tag must include the technician's signature, license number, and date of service, certifying the extinguisher is fully charged and functional.
Title 19 Fire Sprinkler & Standpipe Testing
Unlike basic national guidelines, Title 19 establishes strict local inspection procedures for water-based systems. It enforces annual functional testing of fire sprinkler control valves and flow alarms, along with a comprehensive five-year internal inspection and standpipe hydrostatic pressure test.
