Updated February 2013 1 Guide to Insulation Product Specifications Introduction

Updated February 2013 1 Guide to Insulation Product Specifications Introduction The Guide to Insulation Product Specifications was updated by the National Insulation Association Technical Information Committee in February 2013 after the Committee Days meeting. This guide lists ASTM, federal and military specifications that pertain to the thermal insulation industry. It encompasses both industrial and commercial mechanical insulations as well as building envelope and fire resistance insulations. Related application and finishing accessory materials also are included. Some government construction agencies (General Services Administration, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Department of Defense, Corps of Engineers, etc.) issue specifications or standards that designated insulation materials. This guide is intended to serve the limited purpose of describing, in a general way, the specifications and standards so designated. It should be kept in mind that the materials listed in this guide are subject to change, as are the specifications and standards themselves. Users are encouraged to review the current version of the applicable specification and/or standard. This guide organizes each specification by type (ASTM, federal, or military), number and title and describes its scope. NIA Associate Members that manufacture products that claim conformance to the referenced specification are listed below each specification. Do not rely upon the guide to determine whether a product meets contract specifications or to obtain approvals under purchase orders or contracts. These determinations must be made by careful examination of the contract specifications, the manufacturer’s literature, and the provision of the government specification or standard referred to in the contract documents. For specific product information and specifications compliance, consult the particular manufacturer.

These Updated February 2013 2 methods may be referenced in ASTM standards or other specification and standards. ASTM standards must be reviewed every five years and, if not revised, either approved again or withdrawn. Standards pertaining to thermal insulation generally are developed by ASTM Committee C-16 on Thermal Insulation and thus are identified with the prefix C followed by a three- or four-digit number. A two-digit number following the dash (omitted in this document) indicates the year that the standard was adopted or, if revised, the year of last revision. Users are advised to refer to the current version of the standard in effect at the time of preparation of purchase documents and specifications.
