Full title and description

SP 9.13130.2009 — Fire engineering. Fire extinguishers. Requirements to operation. (Russian: Техника пожарная. Огнетушители. Требования к эксплуатации.) This regulatory document establishes rules and recommendations for the selection, placement, maintenance, inspection and recharging (reloading) of portable and mobile fire extinguishers and related pressure/charge systems.

Abstract

SP 9.13130.2009 provides operational requirements and practical guidance for the safe use and upkeep of portable and mobile fire extinguishers used in buildings and installations. It covers responsibilities for placement and accessibility, routine inspection and maintenance, procedures for recharging and decommissioning, and specific requirements related to different extinguisher types (powder, CO2, water/foam, emulsion). The document is intended for use by fire safety specialists, facility operators and organizations preparing technical conditions or fire-safety documentation.

Defines requirements and recommendations for the operational use of portable and mobile fire extinguishers: selection according to risk and fire class, siting and mounting (accessibility and marking), routine inspections and maintenance cycles, procedures for recharge/replacement of charges and pressure sources, and rules for decommissioning and disposal. The document may be used when developing special technical conditions and fire‑safety sections of building and equipment design.

Key topics and requirements

• Selection of extinguisher type and capacity based on object category, fire load and class (A, B, etc.).
• Placement, mounting height and clear access to extinguishers; signage and visibility requirements.
• Inspection and maintenance schedules, recordkeeping, and responsibilities for routine checks and periodic servicing.
• Procedures and safety rules for recharging/reloading extinguishers and replacement of pressure sources and charges.
• Type‑specific guidance (powder, carbon dioxide, water‑foam, air‑foam/air‑emulsion) and limitations for use in particular environments.
• Requirements for decommissioning, withdrawal from service and safe disposal or transfer of defective equipment.

Typical use and users

Primary users are fire safety specialists, facility and building managers, maintenance teams, designers of fire‑safety systems, emergency response coordinators and manufacturers/suppliers of fire‑extinguishing equipment. SP 9.13130.2009 is used when specifying extinguisher provision for buildings, preparing inspection/maintenance programs, and creating technical conditions for procurement and installation.

Related standards

SP 9.13130.2009 is typically used alongside other Russian fire‑safety regulations and standards, for example other SP-series documents addressing evacuation routes and fire‑protection systems, and national technical standards on portable extinguishers and extinguishing media (for example, GOST R and SP documents referenced in scholarly and technical literature). Users commonly consult those related SP and GOST documents when designing or auditing fire‑safety measures.
