Service Maintenance Date Tag AS1851 & Ring

Description

An aluminium service maintenance date tag with metal attachment ring for fire equipment serviced in accordance with AS 1851. The included metal ring threads through the tag hole and loops around the extinguisher handle, valve assembly, or hose reel bracket — eliminating the need to source a separate tie or attachment method. Records service date, next due date, and contractor details on the equipment after each AS 1851 inspection. Sold individually.

The ring-included version is the most convenient option for high-volume service runs — no separate ties, wire, or clips needed. The metal ring provides a secure, permanent attachment that won’t degrade over time. For the tag-only version without a ring, see WDT.

Where to Use

• Fire extinguishers — attached to the handle or valve after each AS 1851 annual service
• Fire hose reels — attached to the frame or hose reel bracket after each annual inspection
• Other fire protection equipment requiring AS 1851 service recording
• Preferred by maintenance contractors for fast, consistent attachment without additional tools

Key Features

• Aluminium tag — durable and weather-resistant
• Metal attachment ring included — no separate tie or wire required
• Designed for AS 1851 service recording

Compliance & Servicing

AS 1851 requires that serviced fire protection equipment carries a current service tag showing the date of service and the next due date. Only licensed fire protection contractors may attach service tags following a compliant inspection. The tag must remain legible and securely attached until the next service. A missing or illegible tag is a compliance defect.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the WDT and the WDT-WDR?

Both are aluminium AS 1851 service maintenance date tags. The WDT (tag only) requires a separate attachment — cable tie, wire, or ring sourced independently. The WDT-WDR (tag with ring) includes a metal ring already attached, allowing the tag to be fitted directly to the extinguisher handle or hose reel fitting without additional hardware. The WDT-WDR is more convenient for high-volume service runs where minimising steps per unit saves significant time.

Can the ring be removed and the tag attached differently?

The ring is designed to remain with the tag as the attachment method. If a different attachment method is required for a specific installation (cable tie for a wall-mounted hose reel, for example), use the WDT tag-only version and attach with the preferred method. The WDT-WDR is optimised for loop attachment to handles and valve assemblies.

How many WDT-WDR tags does a contractor typically use per year?

One tag per service per piece of equipment. A contractor servicing 500 extinguishers per year uses 500 tags. Volume ordering reduces per-unit cost. Contact us for pricing on bulk quantities for high-volume service operations.

Are these tags compatible with extinguisher brands other than FlameStop?

Yes — the WDT-WDR is a generic AS 1851 service tag suitable for any Australian fire extinguisher or fire hose reel, regardless of brand. The tag records the service date and contractor details; it is not brand-specific.

Does AS 1851 specify a particular tag format?

AS 1851 specifies the information that must be recorded (service date, next due date, contractor details) but does not mandate a specific tag design or material. Aluminium tags with metal rings are an industry-standard format accepted across the Australian fire protection industry. The WDT-WDR meets the information requirements of AS 1851.
