Question 1861 Deck General

70% to pass

A carbon dioxide fire extinguisher is required to be recharged if the weight loss exceeds what percentage of the weight of the charge? (small passenger vessel regulations)

A One percent
B Five percent
C Seven percent
D Ten percent
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Ten percent. According to the small passenger vessel regulations, a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher is required to be recharged if the weight loss exceeds 10% of the weight of the charge. This is to ensure the extinguisher maintains its full fire-fighting capability and can be effectively used in an emergency. The other options (1%, 5%, and 7%) are incorrect as they do not align with the 10% weight loss threshold specified in the regulations.
