Fire Retardant University (FRU) Certified Applicator Program

This two day course trains certified applicators how to evaluate, apply and maintain material compliance. Areas of instruction include flame retardant products, evaluations and monitoring followed by hands-on evaluations and applications. The course is available to organizations for in-house staff and independent contractors.

Facility Evaluation Services

Trained professionals from International Fire Shield will arrive on site to do a complete evaluation of miscellaneous flammable items to address compliance with the Life Safety Codes (interior finishes and decorative materials). Information will then be brought back to our offices for compilation of a detailed report and proposal to complete the necessary services to bring the facilities into compliance with the Life Safety Codes. The evaluations match applications for interior finishes and decorative materials with UL, ULC and ICC classified flame retardant coatings, paints, varnishes and thermal barriers.

Monitoring

International Fire-Shield's monitoring program enables our client's access to track treatment and re-treatement records on all goods in all facilities.

Certified applicators stamp completed applications with an invisible strategically located stamp. This stamp, visible only under our provided UV lights, can be examined annually by inspectors to identify items treated, date, product used, certified applicator, term and length of certification. On laundered items the stamp disperses indicating re-treatment is needed. On applications of paints and varnishes, our stamp is permanent until repainting. The stamp number refers back to the corresponding batch number at the manufacturing plant.

The final component is International Fire-Shield, Inc.'s patent pending fire certificate
