The caulk and fire stop sealant are considered an architectural sealants: "Appurtenances to an architectural structure include, but are not limited to: hand railings, cabinets, bathroom and kitchen fixtures, fences, rain gutters and downspouts, and windows". I couldn't find where SCAQMD specifically references fire stop but I have always used the 250g/L and the reviewers haven't questioned the claims - yet.
