Fire-Rated Penetration Seal Inspection

Fire-rated penetration seals, also known as firestop systems, are essential for maintaining the integrity of fire-resistance-rated walls, floors, and ceilings. These systems are designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through openings created for cables, pipes, and other building services. This checklist covers the complete inspection process to ensure these seals are properly installed and maintained. With detailed tasks and interactive features, users can ensure compliance, enhance safety, and improve record-keeping by ticking items online, leaving comments, and exporting completed reports with a QR code for authentication.
