4.1 The information contained in this guide is general in nature because of: the great number of commercially available firestop systems globally; the quantity and variety of internationally published firestop system’s listings; worldwide variations in building and fire code requirements; and the many conditions and applications associated with a firestop system’s use. 4.2 This guide provides general information and guidance that is primarily used by firestop contractors and 4.3 This guide discusses general procedures, such as substrate cleaning and priming, as well as installation of the components of a firestop system. Note 2: The term “substrate” has a particular meaning in
engineering. A substrate is defined as the “basic surface on which
a material adheres, for example, paint or laminate.”21
4.4 This guide explains the general properties and functions of various penetrating items and firestop materials. 4.5 This guide presents general guidelines for the application of the various materials used in the installation of a firestop system for a specific application, and environmental conditions and effects that are known to potentially affect a firestop system’s installation. 4.6 This guide is intended to be read completely at least once, and each of the Sections 1 through 19 should be read in their entirety to avoid misunderstanding and misapplication. 4.7 This guide may22 also provide some value to users of IMO Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) and other International Maritime Organization (IMO) documents, including the IMO FTP Code, on fire testing firestop systems, also known as “penetration systems.” 4.8 This guide is not an all-inclusive document. It is intended to address common sources for planning, preparation, and installation of firestop systems. References to other documents made herein contain important information and details that provide more in-depth knowledge of firestop systems and their installation. 4.9 This guide does not provide all of the specific information that is typically described in test reports, 4.10 This guide is not a firestop system’s installation manual. Note 3: The firestop system’s manufacturer should be
consulted about applications for their firestop materials, including their
proper storage, use, and installation.
4.11 This guide does not provide detailed information about the firestop system’s inspection process or provide specific information about firestop industry inspector’s qualifications and competence. Note 4: Practice E2174
provides a method for on-site inspection of firestop systems. The ICC International
Building Code4.12 Except as discussed in 6.8, this guide does not provide
information about “blank openings,” which involve an opening that is sealed with firestop materials but does not have any
4.13 Test reports, listings, and judgments with justifiable technical
rationale do not normally contain all the information needed
related to the aging, environmental, mechanical, and physical
properties of the firestop system; or the longevity,
durability, and performance of the firestop system. This guide offers some
resources to ascertain this supplemental information because these
characteristics can affect the firestop system’s installation and
performance.
Note 5: Some information related to these performance
characteristics of firestop systems or firestop materials is also found in: Test
Method E2785, which tests for
exposure of 1.1 This guide is a compendium of
information related to installing firestop systems in fire-separating elements. This guide is
intended to be used to increase industry knowledge of national and
international testing requirements, code prerequisites, and other
supplemental tests that may be specified, which can affect the
installation and performance of firestop systems.
1.2 This guide relates to the use of 1.3 This guide also addresses the use of 1.4 This guide discusses the installation of 1.5 The term “firestop system” refers to and includes both a 1.6 Information in this guide is applicable to 1.7 This guide does not address the design aspects of locating and defining the dimensions of an 1.8 This guide does not address all the test methods needed to address proper performance of all Note 1: For example, IEEE 848 provides information on the ampacity derating of cables that are protected by firestop systems using IEEE 835 as baseline information. 1.9 This guide does not address all the test methods needed to address proper performance of firestop systems in all installations. For a specific application of a firestop system one or more of the following are consulted when available: 1.9.1 The firestop system’s test report or 1.9.2 The manufacturer’s instructions when they are not in conflict with the firestop system’s test report or 1.9.3 A judgment with justifiable technical rationale prepared based on a firestop system’s test report or 1.10 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard. 1.11 The text of this standard references notes and footnotes which provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the standard. 1.12 This guide offers an organized collection of information or a series of options and does not recommend a specific course of action. This document cannot replace education or experience and should be used in conjunction with professional judgment. Not all aspects of this guide may be applicable in all circumstances. This ASTM standard is not intended to represent or replace the standard of care by which the adequacy of a given professional service must be judged, nor should this document be applied without consideration of a project’s many unique aspects. The word “Standard” in the title of this document means only that the document has been approved through the ASTM consensus process. 1.13 Fire standards, other than ASTM standards, are referenced in this document. The following caveat applies to all fire standards referenced in this guide. 1.14 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.15 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. |
