Fire Extinguishers
RSYS now accepts owner inspections of portable fire extinguishers and will no longer provide a dedicated inspector or sales. Equipment Auditors will inspect each fire extinguisher as part of the annual equipment audit. Each fire extinguisher must:

• Be in good condition and free from rust, corrosion, or damage.
• Be maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
• Be less than five years old from the date of manufacture.
• Display a pressure gauge reading within the green operating range, where fitted.

This owner inspection process complies with both Maritime requirements and Australian Sailing Special Regulations.


Servicing Inflatable PFDs
You are required to service your inflatable PFDs annually and will need to provide documentation confirming annual servicing when completing your Equipment Audit.

RSYS recommends that inflatable PFDs are serviced by an approved servicing agent.

Servicing Inflatable PFDs

However, RSYS accepts self-servicing of PFDs for Category 7 races, provided it is carried out in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and the appropriate service documentation is completed. You can use the manufacturer’s form or download a generic form, available below.
