This program connects the dots between how firestop specifications are written, interpreted, and executed in the field. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how design intent, UL system selection, and specification language directly affect compliance, coordination, and liability. The course explores the roles of designers, contractors, and inspectors—highlighting how collaboration and communication throughout the construction process ensure that firestopping systems perform as intended and meet code requirements.

This introductory course provides a clear overview of firestopping and its importance in maintaining building compartmentation and life safety. Participants will learn how firestop systems are tested, selected, and applied across different trades, as well as how codes and UL listings guide compliant design and installation. The program emphasizes real-world coordination challenges and best practices for ensuring long-term performance in rated assemblies.

As third-party firestop inspections become more common—and are required by the International Building Code (IBC) for specific building types—construction professionals must understand what inspectors are looking for and how to prepare. This one-hour course explains the purpose and process of firestop special inspections, detailing how UL systems, tested assemblies, and ASTM field standards (E2174 and E2393) are used to verify compliance. Participants will learn how inspectors document findings, common issues that lead to deficiencies, and how proactive coordination and accurate submittals can prevent costly rework. The session also covers International Firestop Council (IFC) guidance for maintaining consistency and quality across inspection programs, helping attendees ensure that passive fire protection systems perform as designed.

According to the IBC, “…Construction documents shall be of sufficient clarity to indicate the location, nature and extent of the work proposed and show in detail that it will conform to the provisions of this code…as determined by the building official.” Failure to properly to do so can jeopardize life safety and property and result in serious liability. This course is intended to provide architects and specifiers of firestop products and systems with the information and resources they need to meet the intent of the code. Being aware of the requirements for proper firestop specifications and drawings during the design phase cannot be overstated. Fully understanding the unique challenges of proper specification are critical to avoid costly changes, delays, and liability downstream.

Firestopping Engineering Judgements, or “EJs” as they are commonly referred to as, show up on construction projects often when field conditions differ from the original intended design. These unanticipated construction hindrances encountered in the field often cannot be easily or cost-effectively redesigned, so firestop manufacturer recommendations are typically made to propose alternative designs to ensure performance of the firestop system is not compromised. While EJs may be unavoidable at times, upfront planning during preconstruction meetings and coordination between the trades can minimize the number of EJs required. Still, firestop manufacturers are called upon to issue tens of thousands of EJs per year to address non-standard construction. Since these recommendations are not based upon identical designs as tested, they must be developed using sound engineering principles and good judgment. This course is intended to identify the critical elements needed for architect, specifiers, construction industry professionals, building officials, fire officials, firestop contractors and other stakeholders to obtain EJs when necessary, providing guidelines and resources for doing so.

In this one-hour seminar, the basics of life safety and code compliant design for firestopping installation are covered. Additionally, this course covers major issues in design such as the coordination of different trades responsible for firestopping. A UL system approach for firestopping for mechanical, plumbing, sprinkler, electrical and data cabling penetrations is covered, as well as for joint construction and curtain walls. Finally, this course covers how code requirements can impact design.
