Yes, according to Irish Standards, fire extinguishers need to be maintained at least once every year.
A good rule of thumb is "No person should be more than 30 metres from their nearest fire extinguisher at any location within a building", however, to determine the exact numbers, a full survey is required in the building.
At 4kg, extinguishers should be fitted so the carrying handle is 1m from the ground. Under 4kg, extinguishers should be mounted with the carrying handle 1.5m from the ground.
