The Report Holder has submitted technical documentation for CCMC's evaluation. Testing was conducted at laboratories recognized by CCMC. The corresponding technical evidence for this product is summarized below.
Material Requirements
Conformance of the EPS
Compliance of the expanded polystyrene thermal insulation with the requirements of CAN/ULC-S701-11 Type 2 is covered under the Intertek Testing Services NA LTD. certification program.
Design Requirements
Conformance of Structural Capacity (Steel Reinforcement Designs)
The design analysis presented by Genivar for walls using the product provides a level of performance equivalent to that required by applicable provisions in Part 4 and/or Part 9 of Division B of the NBC 2015. The design analysis is summarized in Tables 4.2.1.1 to 4.2.1.3. The tables provide steel reinforcement specifications for a number of different wall and lintel applications based on specific structural loads. The design assumptions are indicated below each table.
