"Should"? Yearly. You will get a note from a surveyor or the CG if they find otherwise. The automatics only need to be fully weighed and certified every 5 years, but must be "checked" annually. I don't know exactly what that means, but I feel better having the tag. Non automatics you can weigh and sign off for yourself, technically.
I was informed last year during my annual fire system inspection (Weigh and tag) that my Halon bottles were good for one more year. The bottles are 10 years old which apparently is the end of their useful life. I purchased a complete new system and will have it installed this month.
May want to check the date on your bottles.

It should be checked and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Some require a yearly reweigh, some require a periodic pressure check. It depends on how the unit is designed. Some Sea-Fire units for instance require only a pressure check while others have bottle life limits. The only way know for sure is to contact the manufacturer.
