Is a Fire Extinguisher Checked During Vehicle Inspection?
1 Answers
During annual vehicle inspections, some vehicles are required to be equipped with fire extinguishers, but generally, private cars do not need them. Technical Inspection Regulations: According to the regulations, only buses and hazardous goods transport vehicles need to be equipped with fire extinguishers during annual inspections; other types of vehicles do not require them. Based on the "Motor Vehicle Safety Technical Inspection Items and Methods": 6.5.3 Fire Extinguishers - Fire extinguishers equipped on buses and hazardous goods transport vehicles should be within their valid usage period, should not be under pressure or ineffective, and the quantity should comply with the requirements of GB7258 and other relevant standards. Annual Inspection for Passenger Cars: Passenger cars do not need to prepare fire extinguishers for annual inspections; only large vehicles are required to have them. For the inspection, you need the vehicle, the driving license (both original and copy), a valid copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy (i.e., the duplicate of the compulsory insurance), or if the duplicate is lost, bring the original and a photocopy on A4 paper.
