After using a CO2 portable extinguisher, it should be _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) recharged.
After using a CO2 portable fire extinguisher, it should be recharged. This is because the CO2 cylinder will be depleted and need to be refilled with the proper amount of CO2 to restore the extinguisher to full capacity. Recharging the extinguisher is required by regulation to ensure it is ready for future use.
The other options are incorrect - the extinguisher does not need to be retagged, hydrostatically tested, or put back in service if some CO2 remains. Recharging is the necessary step to restore the extinguisher to full working order after discharging.
