Hilti and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) have collaborated on a recently published case study, "Standardizing Firestop System Movement Certification to Improve Building Safety". This case study explores the impact of movement on the performance of through-penetration firestop systems and the ability of these systems to meet building code and firestop standard requirements after experiencing movement.

UL, Hilti and other firestop manufacturers collaborated on the development of ASTM E3037-16, Standard Test Method for Measuring Relative Movement Capabilities of Through-Penetration Firestop Systems. This standard provides a method to assess the performance of though-penetration firestop systems after experiencing movement. This case study describes the development and results of the new standard and corresponding certification program.
