August 12, 20205 yr comment_17714 Hi Can anyone give advice regarding firestopping certification? As a small ltd company do i need to have 3rd party accreditation for doing firestop works? I am a level 2 nvq firestopper and have been offered a contract for some apartments. As long as i do the works to full spec and building control and the FSA are happy with the works can it be signed off? Or do i need a 3rd party accreditation such as FIRAS? I would be grateful for any help Thanks Report
