The UL Fire Barrier Management Program is a collection of five individual service offerings that provide a field-based inspection service of installed passive fire protection systems to building owners and the contractors quality audit-based service to qualify private contractors installing systems in the field along with advisory services.
Inspection based service offerings
Inspections provided by UL Solutions are conducted by full time UL Solutions qualified field staff. UL Solutions acts as the qualified third party to provide Firestop Special Inspections and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 80 fire door and dampers inspections for new construction as well as fire code-required annual inspections. Our technical experts can determine compliance with the listed systems, or other provided Engineering Judgements, with the added value of reaching back to the testing and listing engineering staff if questions arise. We are also able to provide observation reports for grease ducts, SFRM, intumescent paint, board wrap, endothermic and blanket wraps.
