When must SFRM test reports be submitted?

Submitting SFRM test reports within one week keeps the project’s QA/QC and approval processes on a practical, timely track. After testing, the results need to be available to the engineer of record, the SI, and the authority having jurisdiction to verify that the material and application meet the required fire-resistance ratings before proceeding with related work or inspections. The window of seven days balances lab turnaround, administrative steps, and field coordination. Shorter timeframes like three days or 24 hours are often unrealistic given testing and documentation steps, while waiting two weeks unnecessarily delays approvals and can create record gaps.
