Attach C - Electronic Fire Extinguisher Inspection Log.xlsx

This is an Electronic Fire Extinguisher Inspection Log spreadsheet template designed to track portable fire extinguisher maintenance, inspections, and testing activities at a multi-building healthcare facility (Sioux Falls VA Health Care System). The spreadsheet serves as a comprehensive database for documenting fire extinguisher information across approximately 363 units distributed across multiple buildings, floors, and rooms throughout the facility.

The log tracks critical data elements including extinguisher serial numbers, manufacturers (Ansul, Buckeye, Amerex, Kidde, Badger), types (ABC, CO2, Water Mist, Class K, Halotron I, Purple K, Clean Agent), and weights/volumes ranging from 2.5 pounds to 20 pounds. For each unit, the spreadsheet records monthly inspection dates and results, annual maintenance completion dates and technicians, hydro test due dates (5-year cycles for CO2/Class K/Water Mist; 12-year cycles for ABC), and 6-year maintenance schedules. Location information captures building numbers, floor levels, room numbers, and descriptive notes. The status column tracks units as active, spares, disposed, not found, or isolated for surveyor reviews. The template includes automated data validation checks, duplicate detection alerts, sorting filters for surveyors and Joint Commission compliance, and summary counters organized by extinguisher type and size. All inspections and maintenance are performed in accordance with NFPA 10 Standard for Portable Extinguishers, manufacturer guidelines, and Joint Commission EC.02.03.05 EP16 regulations. The spreadsheet is designed for monthly updates by the contractor and should be duplicated annually in January for full calendar-year use.
