What does a Type B license pertain to?

A Type B license specifically pertains to the servicing, certifying, and low-pressure hydrostatic testing of portable fire extinguishers. This licensing ensures that individuals working with portable extinguishers have met the necessary training and knowledge requirements to properly maintain and test these important safety devices. The focus on low-pressure hydrostatic testing is crucial because it is a method used to determine the integrity and security of fire extinguishers, ensuring they will function correctly in an emergency.

The other options pertain to different areas within fire safety. Options related to servicing residential fire systems, cooking area fire safety systems, and conducting fire safety training programs are covered under different licenses or certifications that focus on those specific sectors. By concentrating on portable extinguishers, the Type B license ensures that professionals can adequately manage the safety and reliability of these critical firefighting tools in various settings.
