If it's yellow and 3M, it's UL-tested

UL listed

It's not safe to assume that because a firestop caulk is red, it has been UL-tested for your applications. 3M offers the yellow firestop caulk that has been UL-tested to ASTM E 814 for the most common applications.

3M Fire Barrier IC 15WB Caulk is an affordable firestop caulk that helps you stay on budget. Our distinctive yellow firestop caulk makes inspections easier. Plus, our fire barrier sealant provides protection around typical pipe and cable penetrations through fire-rated construction.
