[CCMC evaluation requirements] CAN/CGSB-11.3-M87, Type 5

From: National Research Council Canada

This document provides a summary of the minimum requirements imposed by the Canadian Construction Materials Centre (CCMC) for all evaluations based on the below criteria document. Additional requirements may be imposed by the CCMC when necessary for a particular evaluation, and are detailed in the individual evaluation.

Criteria document

Scope

These evaluations apply to hardboard (Exterior Cladding). Products evaluated demonstrate that they meet the requirements of CAN/CGSB-11.3-M87, “Hardboard,” for hardboard without a factory-applied finish.

Proponents provided evidence that the products manufactured at their plant are of a quality equal to or greater than the level represented by the sample tested and evaluated.

The following requirements are for a Type 5 product

Material requirements

The evaluation holder must demonstrate that the product meets the following requirements (additional requirements may be imposed by the CCMC when necessary, and are detailed in the individual evaluation):

Table 1. General performance requirements per CAN/CGSB-11.3-M87
Property Unit Requirement
Dimensional tolerance (length and width) mm 0 to −3.2
Thickness mm See Physical Properties table below for thickness requirements
Squareness mm/m Corners must not deviate by more than 1.3 from the right angle.
Physical properties See Physical Properties table below

Installation requirements

The CCMC requires that evaluation holders provide instructions for the installation of the product(s) that:

Manufacturing requirements

The CCMC requires that evaluation holders, at a minimum, demonstrate that the associated production process:

Labelling requirements

The CCMC requires that evaluation holders ensure that product labels:

Additionally, in compliance with CAN/CGSB-11.3-M87, Section 6.2, packaging must be marked with the following information:

  • manufacturer’s name or trademark;
  • quantity;
  • thickness (mm), size (mm) and type; and
  • “CAN/CGSB-11.3-M87.”

Where permanently identifying a product is not possible, other forms and methods of identification may be allowed pending review and approval by CCMC. Where applicable, the product must be marked with:

  • any necessary user safety information, unless a separate information sheet is provided; and
  • any additional information required by applicable acts and regulations.
