Standard for the Approval of
Firestop Contractors, Class 4991
FCIA worked with FM Approvals to develop FM 4991 in 1999 and 2000. FM 4991, Standard
for Approval of Firestop Contractors, is a quality installation protocol for firestop
systems installation. FM 4991 is the quality standard from
which Specialty Firestop Contractors can be qualified for
zero tolerance Firestop Systems installation.
FM 4991 and the ASTM E 2174 & ASTM E 2393 Standards for the Inspection of Firestop Systems, are complimentary programs. A contractor who has invested in FM 4991, inspected by a Consultant to the ASTM Standards, means quality contractors, with a project inspection to validate the installation quality process is working.
FM 4991 was the
first program of its type to be accepted nationwide by architects
and engineers through programs like MasterSpec,
SpecLink and other master specifications at leading architectural firms specifying projects worldwide.
To become approved, the contractor firm appoints a Designated
Responsible Individual (DRI). To become a DRI the person must past a rigorous industry
exam to become the key person in the firm to monitor the firestopping quality
managment process.
Once a DRI is in place, the contractor firm then authorizes and pays FM Approvals to audit the contracting firm's procedures
as listed in their Quality Manual to confirm that the firm's processes meet their own quality manual statements for Firestop Systems instllation.
A field audit of a jobsite is also part of the process, with a destructive test , performed to verify the management process works in the field.
FM 4991 Approval is only given those firms who have passed
both the DRI Test and the Intial Facility and Prodedure Audit Process. Follow up Audits
are performed by FM Approvals yearly by FM Personnel. DRI's
must retest and provide verification of CEU eligible Education
sessions attended every three years. Testing and CEU's occurs at FCIA Conferences.
The FCIA Firestop Contractor Members donated time and energy to
develop and maintain this program, a new trend in
the Construction Industry ...... Quality Process Protocol
program for Specialty Firestop Contractors... that can be specified
quantitatively to qualify a contractor for better Fire and Life safety in buildings.
