The UL Solutions Qualified Contractor Program is a quality management system audit-based third-party accreditation for Fireproofing Contractors around the world.

NFCA Member SFRM Fireproofing Contractors install Sprayed Fire-Resistive Material (SFRM) in accordance with the tested and listed system design and manufacturers instructions. The UL Solutions Qualified SFRM Contractor Program offers the SFRM Contractor, Specifiers, Code Officials, and others an independent, third-party way to quantifiably demonstrate excellence and expertise in the installation of fireproofing.

The program requirements are based on the requirements of ISO/IEC DIS 17021.2 "Conformity Assessment Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of management systems" and applicable sections of ISO 17024 "Conformity Assessment - General Requirements for bodies operating certification of persons".

The fireproofing contractor's management system is audited under the UL Solutions Qualified SFRM Contractor Program, providing an integrated approach to contractor qualifications. The demonstrated knowledge - a person passing the NFCA Fireproofing Exam based on NFCA's Handbook of Accepted Fireproofing Knowledge; and a Management System Audit - provides a way to qualify a contractor in specifications as suitable to install SFRM fireproofing.
