A slab-edge gap can become a vertical fire-spread path. Perimeter fire barriers protect the floor-to-curtain-wall intersection—but only when the slab, spandrel, insulation, firestop and attachments work as a tested system. firestop.org/what-is-a-perim… #Firestopping #CurtainWall #PFC

Not all firestop joints are evaluated the same. NBC 2020 generally requires FT-rated joint systems to CAN/ULC-S115, while curtain-wall perimeter systems use ASTM E2307. Movement matters too—static systems may fail where assemblies move. firestop.org/blog #FirestopCanada

NBC 2020 clarified Canadian firestopping requirements for joints, perimeter gaps, penetrations, recessed boxes & Part 9 buildings. Compliance depends on the complete installed system—not just the product. See what changed: firestop.org/blog #FirestopCanada #NBC2020

A listed firestop product doesn’t automatically mean a compliant installation. Inspectors must verify the entire field condition matches the tested and listed system—not just the product used. Learn more: firestop.org/preparing-for-b… #FirestopInspection #CodeCompliance

A firestop product has no fire-resistance rating by itself—the rating applies to the complete tested and listed system. Code officials must verify the installed condition matches the listed design. Learn what to look for: firestop.org/firestop-system… #Firestop #CodeOfficials

Two firestop products may look alike—but their approved applications can be very different. Product training helps inspectors catch conflicts before they become compliance issues. firestop.org/blog #Firestop #SpecialInspection

Better firestop inspections start with hands-on training. Inspectors must evaluate the complete tested and listed system—not just the visible sealant. Learn how manufacturer training improves inspection accuracy: firestop.org/blog #Firestop #SpecialInspection
