Procedure
Yesterday we ordered 2 halon fire extinguisher bottles to replace our stock. Both bottles came with Form XXXX-X tags filled out for Next Due Date of weight inspection as 2029. Per the GMM XX-XX-XX Aircraft Emergency Equipment Inspection and Labeling Requirements XX(X) the Form XXXX-X is to be attached and completed as required. It does not give us any reference for what the time period is for the Next Due Date for weight. We have been using EC/RA # XXXX-XXXXX which states the due date for the next check is the date weighted/pressure checked plus 1 year. The bottles we received were 9 years. Are we using a different time period now for weighting?
Technician reported inconsistencies in paperwork and procedures required to place halon fire extinguishers in stock and ready for installation.
