Are there any code requirements, or restrictions, to using spray-applied cementitious fireproofing on a steel structure in the space above the ceiling of a building when it is being used as a return air plenum?

I would be shocked that the EOR or Building Dept. would approve that the space above a ceiling be used as as a return air plenum. The environmental and health issues are so many. Start with insect & rodent feces.

Spray Applied Fireproofing (SFRM) increases the fire-resistive rating (FRR) of non-combustible building components including the primary structure. This is typically added to meet the building's Type of Construction requirements.

I would make sure that the product is not a fiber-based product but always use cementitious fireproofing wherever there is a chance of air-movement across the surface.
