Heat Detector Tester Pole – SOLAS Compliant

Electric heat simulation without gas canisters for marine & industrial use

Ensure efficient and safe functional testing of fixed temperature, rate-of-rise, and combination heat detectors with our Heat Detector Tester Poles, designed to meet strict maritime and industrial compliance standards. These lightweight, non-conductive poles allow technicians to test detectors at heights without ladders, aligning with SOLAS and NFPA 72 periodic inspection requirements.

Why a Specialized Heat Detector Tester Pole is Essential for Marine Compliance

Heat detectors are mandatory in specific vessel locations where smoke detectors would cause false alarms, including:

Engine rooms & machinery spaces – exhaust fumes and heat variations
Galleys & laundries – cooking vapors and steam
Vehicle & Ro-Ro car decks – dusty, fume-prone environments
Cargo holds – dust and air movement

SOLAS Chapter II-2 requires regular functional testing of all fire detection devices, and heat detectors must be verified without dismantling. New amendments from IMO SSE 12 (March 2026) also align life-saving appliance testing requirements, including temperature cycling tests for survival craft equipment.

Using a heat detector tester pole allows:

Ladder-free, safe access – eliminates fall hazards on moving vessels
Consistent, repeatable results – applies focused heat directly to the detector sensor
SOLAS compliance – enables required periodic functional testing
