WHY DO PORTABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS (PFE) NEED TAGS?

The NYC Fire Code requires the periodic inspection and servicing of portable fire extinguishers. PFE tags have essential information about the extinguisher and the company that serviced the extinguisher++

​

WHY ARE PFE TAGS CHANGING?

NYC Department of Investigations (DOI) discovered several PFE companies engaged in illegal activities. New PFE tags will verify that you hired an FDNY approved company.

​

WHAT WERE THE PROBLEMS WITH THE OLD PFE TAGS?

Old PFE tags varied in size, shape, color, and material, which meant they could be easily counterfeited. In addition, they were harder to understand and identify for the FDNY and the public.

 

WHAT DOES THE NEW PFE TAG LOOK LIKE?

New PFE tags are standardized with several new security measures. Only FDNY approved PFE companies can provide these new PFE tags to businesses. New PFE tags are easily identifiable by the FDNY staff and the public.
