    of steel surfaces to receive fireproofing shall be the
    responsibility of the general contractor.
    b) The project architect shall determine if the
    painted/rimed structural steel to receive fireproofing has
    been tested in accordance with ASTM E-119, to provide
    the required fire resistance rating.
    c) Many Fire Resistance Designs allow the use of painted
    metal floor or roof deck in place of galvanized decking.
    Painted decking must be UL listed in the specific fire
    resistance designs and must carry the UL classification
    marking.
