| Design. Installation. Inspection. Maintenance. Management. | Specialty Firestop Installation Contractors looking to provide additional value to Building Owners should look at the UL Master Certificate of Compliance (MACC).  The project-specific MACC is provided by the UL Qualified Specialty Firestop Installation Contractor to the Building Owner.  Issued after a successful onsite UL Audit of the firestop installation contractor’s management system, the Master Certificate of Compliance provides assurance to the Building Owner that processes were followed at that specific jobsite.  Because it is annually renewable after the Specialty Firestop Installation Contractor visually inspects the building, the MACC Certificate provides the building owner with a tool to show Fire Marshals as evidence of compliance with the annual visual inspection of firestopping required in the International Fire Code. | Interested? Email Ruben.SandovalJr@ul.com or Mark.St.Onge@UL.com for details. | The FCIA’s Accreditation Committee collaborated with FM Approvals to build the FM 4991 Standard for the Approval of Firestop Contractors Program. FCIA Accreditation Committee leadership meets regularly with FM’s leaders, and the two groups have a strong relationship. | As you know, there have been changes within the FM 4991 Approved Program recently.  Please read the FCIA Special Alert that was recently sent to FCIA Contractor Members to learn about the FM 4991 Approved Program changes, along with FCIA’s actions to keep the FM 4991 Approved Program strong. |  | In April 2020, the Gypsum Association released a tutorial for the proper repair of fire-resistance-rated gypsum panel product systems. The video clearly and concisely addresses the much talked about topic through animated representations of the proper steps one should take when repairing these fire-resistance-rated barriers. | The most recent issue of Life Safety Digest also addresses the question in the "From the FCIA Question Box" article. FCIA recommends following the GA-225-2019 Repair of Fire-Rated Gypsum Panel Product Systems letter OR a tested and listed repair method. | Watch the Gypsum Association video here.
