Every certificate of registration shall indicate the type of acts or acts to be
performed as follows:
(1) Type 1--Recharge
and maintenance of any or all types of fire extinguishers.
(2) Type 2--Hydrostatic test any or all low
pressure non-D.O.T. specification fire extinguisher cylinders.
(3) Type 3--Hydrostatic test any or all
D.O.T. specification fire extinguishers cylinders.
(b) Any person holding a valid certificate of
registration may take orders for the performance of any act or acts for which
authorization has not been granted. These orders shall be consigned to the
licensed company for which they have a binding reciprocal agreement on file
with the State Fire Marshal and who is qualified and authorized to perform such
act or acts.
(c) A person holding a
valid certificate of registration shall not perform any act for a fee unless
the person also holds a valid license or is employed by a concern possessing a
valid license.

possessing a Certificate of Registration and employed by a licensed concern may
perform only those acts which the licensed concern is authorized to do and for
which the employee is qualified. In the case of an independent contractor,
franchisee, or any other arrangement in which the certificate of registration
holder is an independent business concern, a valid license is required to be in
the name of the independent concern.
EXCEPTION: Contractual arrangements between persons
possessing a certificate of registration and a licensed concern are permitted
only if the licensed concern provides the State Fire Marshal written evidence
that a contractual agreement is in effect, that the contracted person is
insured (as specified in section
595.13), and that the licensed
concern will assume full responsibility for the actions of the contracted
person with respect to these regulations.
(e) To be issued or have renewed a
Certificate of Registration, an individual has to either hold a valid portable
fire extinguisher company license or be employed by a company possessing a
