Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for testing a lifeboat sprinkler system without launching the lifeboat. A tank (5) of freshwater is arranged adjacent the lifeboat (1) on a marine vessel or oil platform (2). A line (24) is connected from the tank (5) to the sprinkler system of the lifeboat (1). The pressure of the water supply is arranged by means of the location of the tank (5) and/or a regulating valve (23) to mimic the pressure of the seawater that the system would access from an inlet (14) in the lifeboat hull (15) if it were launched.
