Identify through-penetration fire-stop systems with preprinted metal or plastic labels. Attach labels permanently to surfaces adjacent to and within 6 inches (150 mm) of edge of the fire-stop systems so that labels will be visible to anyone seeking to remove penetrating items or fire-stop systems. Use mechanical fasteners for metal labels. For plastic labels, use self-adhering type with adhesives capable of permanently bonding labels to surfaces on which labels are placed and, in combination with label material, will result in partial destruction of label if removal is attempted. Include the following information on labels: 1. The words "Warning - Through-Penetration Fire-stop System - Do Not Disturb. Notify Building Management of Any Damage." 2. Contractor's name, address, and phone number. 3. Through-penetration fire-stop system designation of applicable testing and inspecting agency. 4. Date of installation. 5.

Where deficiencies are found, repair or replace through-penetration fire-stop systems so they comply with requirements. B. Proceed with enclosing through-penetration fire-stop systems with other construction only after inspection reports are issued and fire-stop installations comply with requirements and installation has been inspected by a building inspector. 3.6 CLEANING AND PROTECTING A. Clean off excess fill materials adjacent to openings as Work progresses by methods and with cleaning materials that are approved in writing by through-penetration fire-stop system manufacturers and that do not damage materials in which openings occur. B. Provide final protection and maintain conditions during and after installation that ensure that through-penetration fire-stop systems are without damage or deterioration at time of Substantial Completion. If, despite such protection, damage or deterioration occurs, cut out and remove damaged or deteriorated through-penetration fire-stop systems immediately and install new materials to produce systems complying with specified requirements.
