The ProQual Level 3 Award in the Inspection and Testing of Fire Stopping Installations is a specialised qualification designed for individuals working within the fire safety and passive fire protection industry. It provides the knowledge and practical competence required to inspect and test fire stopping installations, helping ensure that passive fire protection measures are correctly installed and meet relevant regulatory and industry requirements.

The qualification focuses on key areas including fire stopping regulations and standards, inspection and testing methods, pass and fail criteria, compliance requirements, reporting procedures, and appropriate actions following identified failures. It enables the learner to develop a structured understanding of how fire stopping systems should be assessed and how inspection findings should be accurately documented and communicated.

The Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) is the single framework for regulated qualifications in England. The regulatory body for this qualification is the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual), and the ProQual Level 3 Award in the Inspection and Testing of Fire Stopping Installations is accredited onto the RQF. This provides formal recognition of the qualification within the regulated qualifications system.

Assessment is assignment-based, allowing the learner to demonstrate relevant knowledge, understanding, and occupational competence through structured assessment evidence. The qualification is particularly relevant for fire stopping inspectors, passive fire protection professionals, and personnel responsible for verifying the quality and compliance of fire stopping installations.
