10、d: 2015 FOREWORD This foreword shall not be considered a part of the standard. However, it is offered to provide background information. ASSE International acknowledges the work of the ASME A112.20.2 Committee in first developing a qualification standard for installers of firestop systems and device
11、s for piping systems; ASSE/IAPMO/ANSI Series 9000 is based on this ASME standard, which was transferred to ASSE. ASSE International developed the voluntary consensus ASSE/IAPMO/ANSI Series 9000, Professional Qualifications Standard for Firestop Systems and Smoke-Limiting Materials for Piping Systems
12、, which contains the uniform minimum requirements for qualified installers and inspectors of firestop systems. This was accomplished in the spirit of ASSEs century-old motto, “Prevention Rather than Cure.” Correctly installed firestop systems are critical to life safety in the built environment; the
13、refore, it is important that individuals who install and inspect firestop systems are qualified and certified. The Series 9000 was developed by a cross- section of industry experts and offers uniform requirements that can be used throughout the construction industry to protect health and safety. Thi
14、s standard will be revised as relevant codes, standards, technologies and safety needs demand. The ASSE/IAPMO/ANSI Series 9000 is now a part of the ASSE Professional Qualifications Standards Program, which includes the ASSE/IAPMO/ANSI Series 5000, Cross-Connection Control Professional Qualifications
15、 Standard, the ASSE/IAPMO/ANSI Series 6000, Professional Qualifications Standards for Medical Gas Systems Personnel, and the ASSE/ IAPMO/ANSI Series 7000, Professional Qualifications Standards for Residential Potable W ater Fire Protection System Installers and Inspectors for One and Two Family Dwel
16、lings. This voluntary, consensus standard was promulgated in accordance with procedures developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

18、 Destructive T esting The intentional operation of material, until it fails, to reveal design weaknesses. A method of testing a material that degrades the sample under investigation. Draft Stop A material or device installed to restrict the movement of air within open spaces of concealed areas of bu
19、ildings. DWV Drain, waist and vent piping. Endothermic A material that blocks heat by chemical absorption and moisture release for the purpose of fire-resistance. F Rating The specific number of hours that a barrier can withstand fire. Fire Barrier Fire-resistance-rated assembly with protected openi
20、ngs that is designed to restrict the spread of fire. Fire Blocking Building materials installed to resist the passage of flames and gasses to other areas of the building through small, concealed spaces. Fire Dynamics The physics and chemistry of fire. Fire Partition A vertical assembly of materials
21、with protected openings designed to restrict the spread of fire. Fire-Resistance Rating A measure of time during which a material, product or assembly continues to exhibit fire resistance under specified exposure conditions. Fire Resistive Joint System Products designed and tested to prevent the spr
22、ead of fire through joints made in, or between, fire-rated assemblies. Fire Wall A fire-resistance-rated wall that restricts the spread of fire. Flashover The rapid transition to total surface involvement in a fire of combustible materials within an enclosure. Heat T ransfer The movement of heat fro
23、m one body to another by means of radiation, convection or conduction. Hourly Rating An established time frame, in minutes or hours, that a material can withstand exposure to fire test conditions. L Rating The amount of air (in cubic feet per minute) that can leak through a penetration. Membrane Pen
24、etration A firestop system that seals the provided opening to accommodate items that penetrate the membrane on just one side of a fire-resistance-rated assembly. Packing Material Fire-resistive material intended to protect sealants, hold up material and control the exact depth of material that tops
25、off a seal. Perimeter Fire Barrier Perimeter joint protection that prevents the passage of fire from floor to floor within a building at the opening between the exterior wall and floor.ASSE/IAPMO/ANSI Series 9000 Professional Qualifications Standard 3 Issued: 2015 Pillows A passive firestop device u

Smoke Barrier A fire-rated assembly that prevents the transmission of smoke and gases through a building. Smoke Migration The movement of smoke, caused by an air pressure difference betwe
27、en two areas and a path for it to travel through. T Rating The number of hours that the temperature on the non-fire side of a penetration does not exceed 325 F (163 C) above the ambient temperature. Thermal Layering The tendency of gases to form into layers according to temperature. Through Penetrat
28、ion Any item that passes completely through a fire-rated assembly, such as pipe, conduit, cable, etc. W Rating Water-resistance rating for through-penetration fire stop systems.
