UL Qualified Firestop Contractor Program

In the built environment, firestop systems are a critical safeguard against the spread of heat, fire or smoke through breaches in floors and walls. These breaches made during construction allow construction of joints, openings or penetrations through a fire-resistance-rated wall or floor. The expertise of a qualified firestop contractor is needed to select and install a firestop system to protect the breaches made for penetrations and joints of fire-resistance-rated wall and horizontal assemblies.

UL provides two programs for qualified contractor recognition in the North American market:

  • UL Qualified Firestop Contractor Program, for systems installed in accordance with U.S. requirements
  • ULC Qualified Firestop Contractor Program, for systems installed in accordance with Canadian requirements
    As essential service providers to the building industry, qualified firestop contractors select and install classified firestop systems for residential, institutional, commercial and industrial structures. This process requires careful evaluation and analysis to establish a protective system within a structure to comply with construction documents.

UL’s Qualified Firestop Contractor Programs include two critical elements required of all participating contract firms:

  • Contractor firms must appoint and employ at least one designated responsible individual (DRI) with firestop system expertise and experience demonstrated by successfully completing a UL firestop exam and meeting additional requirements.
  • Contractor firms must effectively implement and maintain a management system focused on selection and installation of firestop systems as demonstrated by an audit at the contractor’s facility and jobsite.
