The user of a building is responsible for the fire safety of that building and its occupants including the maintenance of fire safety equipment and the fire detection and alarm system.
A Fire alarm system reliability is reliant on the level of maintenance undertaken to the system.
All detectors conventional, analogue addressable, smoke, heat, CO, and multi-sensors need to be regulary functionally tested for correct operation
The regularity of these checks will vary according to a number of factors: the fire risk assessment, type of system, its environment and anything that may affect the system and its long term operation, it will typically be between three and six months subject to agreement between all interested parties.
Westminster can supply a range of Smoke, Heat & CO detector test kits and a detector removal tool with a range of height telescopic poles.
Test Kits
£371.20
Cordless Heat Detector Tester Kit Using the unique IR activation and Cross Air Technology, the heat generation process takes place only when the detector under test is within the cup with hot air blown horizontally in a focussed beam directly toward the sensor for optimum energy use and results. Interchangeable NiMH battery batons and a fast battery recharger enable testing all day with a cable free device.
£151.46
Smoke Detector Test Starter kit to: 2.5 Metres height This kit is for testing smoke detectors fitted up to 2.5 metres height. Functional checking is accomplished by introducing a smoke, or simulated smoke, stimulus from the protected area through the vents of a detector to the sensor(s). It is required by all national standards around the world and testing by electronic means that do not involve this test is not sufficient to comply.
£201.55
Smoke Detector Test Starter kit to: 4 Metres height. This kit is for testing smoke detectors fitted up to 4 metres height. Functional checking is accomplished by introducing a smoke, or simulated smoke, stimulus from the protected area through the vents of a detector to the sensor (s). It is required by all national standards around the world and testing by electronic means that do not involve this test is not sufficient to comply.
£285.58
Smoke Detector Test Starter kit to: 6 Metres height This kit is for testing smoke detectors fitted up to 6 metres height. Functional checking is accomplished by introducing a smoke, or simulated smoke, stimulus from the protected area through the vents of a detector to the sensor(s). It is required by all national standards around the world and testing by electronic means that do not involve this test is not sufficient to comply.
£455.39
Smoke Detector Test & Removal Kit to: 6 Metres height Functional checking is accomplished by introducing a smoke, or simulated smoke, stimulus from the protected area through the vents of a detector to the sensor(s). It is required by all national standards around the world and testing by electronic means that do not involve this test is not sufficient to comply. The universal detector removal tool will easily remove a detector from its base up to 6 metres height.
£670.86
Smoke & Mains powered Heat Detector Test kit to: 6 Metres height Functional checking is accomplished by introducing a smoke, or simulated smoke, stimulus from the protected area through the vents of a detector to the sensor (s). Functional checking of heat detectors, with a genuine heat source, is now required by major national standards around the world. Testing with heat sources not designed for the purpose can be both dangerous and damaging. The WG range of heat detector testing equipment is designed specifically for the purpose. It is required by all national standards around the world and testing by electronic means that do not involve this test is not sufficient to comply.
£811.46
Smoke & Cordless (battery powered) Heat Detector Test kit to: 6 Metres height This kit is for testing and removing smoke detectors fitted up to 6 metres height. Functional checking is accomplished by introducing a smoke, or simulated smoke, stimulus from the protected area through the vents of a detector to the sensor (s). It is required by all national standards around the world and testing by electronic means that do not involve this test is not sufficient to comply. Functional checking of heat detectors, with a genuine heat source, is now required by major national standards around the world. Testing with heat sources not designed for the purpose can be both dangerous and damaging. The WG range of heat detector testing equipment is designed specifically for the purpose.
£526.14
Smoke Detector Test & Removal Kit to: 8.2 Metres height Functional checking is accomplished by introducing a smoke, or simulated smoke, stimulus from the protected area through the vents of a detector to the sensor (s). It is required by all national standards around the world and testing by electronic means that do not involve this test is not sufficient to comply. The universal detector removal tool will easily remove a detector from its base up to 8.2 metres height.
£917.58
Smoke & Cordless (Battery powered) Heat Detector Test kit to: 9.3 Metres height This kit is for testing and removing smoke detectors and heat detectors fitted up to 9.3 metres height. Functional checking is accomplished by introducing a smoke, or simulated smoke, stimulus from the protected area through the vents of a detector to the sensor (s). It is required by all national standards around the world and testing by electronic means that do not involve this test is not sufficient to comply. Functional checking of heat detectors, with a genuine heat source, is now required by major national standards around the world. Testing with heat sources not designed for the purpose can be both dangerous and damaging. The WG range of heat detector testing equipment is designed specifically for the purpose.
£138.53
Universal Detector Removal Tool Compatible with a wide range of detectors, the colour-coded heads rotate to provide a combination of sizes and settings for just about every detector.
£115.09
Aerosol Smoke and CO Dispenser The Aerosol Smoke the CO Dispenser contains the test aerosol, it ensures that it is applied correctly, in a measured amount and contained only where required. This is fundamental to functional smoke and CO checking for many professionals around the world. Used with the access poles it enables safe testing at heights but is equally useful at low level.
Extension Poles Only
£61.88
Fibreglass Extension Pole - 1.13 Metres Telescopic pole to give reach of 2.5 metres including height of user. Access poles are required for detectors out of normal reach. Their use saves the time, cost, disruption and risk to safety that ladders, scaffolding or access equipment represents.
£114.13
Fibreglass 2 Section Telescopic Pole - 2.2 Metres Telescopic pole to give reach of 4 metres including height of user. Access poles are required for detectors out of normal reach. Their use saves the time, cost, disruption and risk to safety that ladders, scaffolding or access equipment represents.
£201.69
Fibreglass 4 Section Telescopic Pole kit to 4.5 Metres height Telescopic pole to give total reach of 6m inclusive of operator. Access poles are required for detectors out of normal reach. Their use saves the time, cost, disruption and risk to safety that ladders, scaffolding or access equipment represents.
Aerosols
£16.20
WG A3 Smoke Detector Tester 250ml Delivers to the detector under test, particles replicating those found in smoke, so providing full compliance for functional testing.
£13.22
C3 Carbon Monoxide Detector Tester 250ml Many multi-sensor fire detectors detect carbon monoxide (CO) as well as smoke and / or heat. Under international codes and standards the CO cell needs to be functionally tested with a CO stimulus from the protected area through the detector vents to the sensor. The only way to verify a CO detector is to introduce CO into the sensor of the detector.
