Sprayed Polyurethane Foam that is applied in code approved applications in Canada needs to meet two criteria:

Product Standards (CAN/ULC S705.1 & CAN/ULC S712.1)

Pinnacles spray foam insulation products conform to CAN/ULC S705.1 (including Amendments 1, 2 and 3) for medium density spray polyurethane foam as well as CAN/ULC S712.1 for light density spray polyurethane foam. Our materials have been tested and evaluated by CCMC (Canadian Construction Materials Centre, a branch of the NRC) and comply with CCMC’s Technical Guide for Spray-in-Place Thermal Insulation.

Installation Standards (CAN/ULC S705.2 & CAN/ULC S712.2)

The National Building Code of Canada references the installation standard CAN/ULC S705.2 for medium density spray polyurethane foam as well as CAN/ULC S712.2 for light density spray polyurethane foam products, which requires that polyurethane foam sprayers be certified in order to apply the products.
