The Icelandic Transport Authority: Monitoring and inspection

What are the rules for fire extinguishers in cars?

In general, no fire extinguishers are required in cars and no comment is made in the inspection, even though in such cars extinguishers have expired. In a few cases, however, fire extinguishers are required, in which case they must always have been checked by professional within a year in order to avoid comments during inspection. This applies to all buses, taxis and all-terrain modified vehicles (and vehicles transporting dangerous goods).
