Weight check of the fire extinguisher in a railway wagon

Train protection systems are the heart of safe rail traffic. To ensure smooth and safe operation, regular testing, maintenance, fault diagnosis and, if necessary, repairs of these complex systems are essential. Specialized technicians ensure that the train protection technology always meets the highest standards and functions reliably. For example, there is a fire extinguisher in every carriage. This is usually located between two seating groups. During an inspection, the fire extinguishers are checked for their fill level (50 kg). A platform scale is used for this purpose. This regular weight check is required by law and protects against claims for compensation in the event of a fire breaking out.
