Turner can do them.
Although i was always led to believe any one can service them as they dont really differ from non motorsport extinguishers. Other than they price and brand name _________________

If it is an FIA Homologated extinguisher, then it needs to be serviced by the Manufacturer or their agent to maintain the homologation. Effectively the 2-yearly service 'renews' the homologation and a new homologation label is part of the service.
I know some folks are muttering about EU Legislation and restrictive practices, but I think the counter argument may be that the Homologated extinguisher is only valid for 2 years and that can be renewed/extended by the Manufacturer/Authorised Agent carrying out the maintenance.
For non-homologated systems, I'd view that any servicing is better than nothing. plus it is only a matter of a few years before only FIA Homologated systems will be accepted.
Please note that for Speed (SLS), extinguishers are recommended, but for RACING must be plumbed in. _________________ Renny
