Penetrations · Handover and evidence

What records should exist for a fire-stopped penetration?

Short answer

Useful records let the next person identify the penetration, understand what services and system were installed, and connect the physical opening back to the supporting evidence. The exact record set depends on the project and the contract.

What to do next

Send the tag, the schedule reference, the drawings you have and photographs of the actual condition. We will tell you what they show, what they cannot, and what else is needed before anyone gives a conclusion.

General information only. A conclusion about a specific condition requires the actual construction, the evidence behind it and the site condition to be reviewed.
