[CCMC evaluation requirements] CAN/CGSB-41.24-95

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 vinyl siding as a flexible material used for exterior wall cladding of buildings. This standard applies to extruded sections produced from rigid compound of polyvinyl chloride intended as siding, soffits and fascia. Its wide range of characteristics includes good durability, light weight and minimal maintenance. It is available in a variety of profiles, colours and surface textures.

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. Material (physical properties)
Property Unit Requirement
Impact resistance (Izod) - Class 1 compound J/m ≥ 80.1
Impact resistance (Izod) - Class 2 compound J/m ≥ 266.9
Tensile strength - Class 1 compound MPa ≥ 44.9
Tensile strength - Class 2 compound MPa ≥ 37.7
Modulus of elasticity - Class 1 compound MPa ≥ 2 483
Modulus of elasticity - Class 2 compound MPa ≥ 2 208
Heat deflection temperature - Class 1 compound °C ≥ 70
Heat deflection temperature - Class 2 compound °C ≥ 70
