Testing

Warwick Castle, like a lot of buildings of historical interest, has many areas decorated with ornate artwork and items of historical value.

We recently joined David and the team from Choice Fire & Security on site at Dolphin Square in Pimlico, London to witness their use of Testifire as part of a large project installing Hochiki multi-sensor detectors.

With functional testing of fire systems a legal requirement, our solutions are used in some amazing buildings and high profiles sites.

The importance of installing a compliant fire detection system is well known, however of equal importance is how the system is maintained and what tools are used to achieve this.

With fire detector technology constantly evolving, standards also change in order to include these technologies and to drive innovation within the industry. 

In recent months, we have been working with leading fire system manufacturer – Global Fire Equipment (GFE) – to promote compliant functional testing of their range of detectors and to provide their customers with easy access to approved test solutions.

With an increasing focus on productivity on-site, the need to carry out faster and smarter testing has never been greater. 

Aerosol smoke canisters have long been used as an effective means for carrying out functional testing of smoke detectors. 

Smoke aerosols offer a reliable and efficient way of functionally testing smoke detectors
