If you were in Canada, the rule would always include the yearly sign-off by a certified extinguisher shop. At our YC we have them come out every year on safety day to take care of this.

I would be very surprised if the regs are less strict in the US.

The insurer is rarely going to demand full compliance with all of the regs, but when you are just surveyed, for insurance, the insurer is ALWAYS going to require full compliance with the surveyor's recommendations. They only require a survey every 5 years (or so), but on those occasions want to see that you are fully compliant.
