The programmes answer related but different questions
Contractor qualification evaluates management, training, installation and quality controls. A listed firestop system documents the tested assembly. Neither automatically replaces local licensing, consultant acceptance or project inspection.
Read the scope and status
Check the current directory entry, legal entity, programme scope, expiry or surveillance status and the project specification. Avoid turning one credential into a blanket claim.
Select against project risk
High opening volume, complex interfaces, concealed work and strict handover demands increase the value of a mature contractor quality system, regardless of which programme the specification names.
Codes, approvals, credentials, system evidence and authority requirements change. Confirm the current legal entity, scope, project specification and acceptance route before procurement or installation.
