We can't tell whether present or past perfect is appropriate, unless you give us some context. If it's present perfect, you need 'have', not 'has'.

In addition to you example for the present perfect, the example can be used in the past perfect - "All fire extinguishers had been signed off."
With the plural 'extinguishers' the word 'has' cannot be used in any tense. It would have to be a singular noun 'extinguisher' to use 'has'.
