hydrostatic test results for an extinguisher are recorded on:

extinguisher harness.
the monthly inspection tag.
the shell of the extinguisher.
tamper seal.

Explanation:

Analyze the first question

The first question asks for the term used to describe "The replacement of the expellant and, if necessary, the agent in a portable fire extinguisher". According to NFPA 10 (Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers), this specific service is defined as "recharging". Recharging is the replacement of the extinguishing agent and/or the expellant gas.

Analyze the second question

The second question asks where hydrostatic test results for an extinguisher are recorded. According to NFPA 10, low-pressure cylinders that pass a hydrostatic test must have the test information recorded on a suitable metallic label (or similar durable material) secured to the shell of the extinguisher, or stamped directly onto high-pressure cylinders. Therefore, the correct option is "the shell of the extinguisher".

• inspecting.
• recharging. (Correct answer)
• refilling.
• servicing.

Question 2

• extinguisher harness.
