BS 5839 states that "functional" testing of all detectors (forming part of a fire detection installation) must be performed in a safe and controlled manner.

"Point smoke detectors should be functionally tested by a method that confirms smoke can enter the detector chamber and produce a fire signal (e.g. by use of apparatus that generates simulated smoke or suitable aerosols around the detector)."
