The certification and licensing by the Office of the State Fire Marshal (SFM), for fire extinguishers sold and serviced here in California, ensures that strict standards are met for these life saving devices.

All portable fire extinguishers, like those in your homes, must meet manufacturing and performance standards and bear the label of a SFM approved testing laboratory. Any persons and businesses that service portable fire extinguishers must pass a written exam, provide evidence of experience, and maintain an adequate inventory of testing equipment and repair/replacement parts before they are issued certificates of registration and licenses by SFM.
