How is the fire test for dry chemical fire extinguishers conducted?

Your question wasn't really clear but I'm assuming you mean how do you test a dry chemical fire extinguisher at home. Normally these types of extinguishers are tested at home by simply turning them upside down and listening to them to make sure the dry powder hasn't started to cake in the bottom. If you hear the sound and the gauge on the top of the bottle shows in the "green" the extinguisher is fine. Don't try to test them by pulling the trigger and seeing if they shoot, there's not a heck of a lot of powder in there to play around with.

How long are fire extinguishers good?
Most fire extinguishers found in homes are single-use types, meaning that they cannot be recharged after being used. They should be replaced according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Extinguishers should be checked annually (monthly in schools and businesses). Depending upon the type of extinguisher it will also need a test every 5 or 12 years to make sure the tank is still strong enough for the internal pressure, called a "hydrostatic test".

No, the ABC extinguisher uses a dry powder chemical composition that by its application displace the oxygen required to maintain the ignition process. additionally, since it disperses a fine dense cloud of powder, it coats the intended surface with its compound. This action extinguish the class A and B fires, however, this media does not provide any retardancy to the subject fire. additionally, class C is not meant to be a type of fire, instead is defines the cause of the fire, i.e., cause by an electrical energized charge that will require a non conductive medial that passed the 100,000 v generated by the test to qualify for a class C rating.
