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

• do not contravene the National Building Code of Canada, or any provincial or territorial building codes; and
• meet the requirements of CCMC minimum documentation requirements.

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

• is operated under a documented quality system; and
• meets the minimum requirements of the CCMC minimum documentation requirements.

The CCMC requires that evaluation holders ensure that product labels:

• reference the associated CCMC number or mark; and
• meet the requirements of CCMC minimum documentation requirements.

In addition, the standard requires that packaging for the insulation be labelled or marked with the following information:

• brand name and the name of the manufacturer or supplier;
• identification of the manufacturing facility location;
• type of insulation and its intended use;
• net content of package in m²;
• number of pieces per package;
• design linear dimensions of the pieces in the package in mm;
• design thickness in mm;
• thermal resistance in (m²·K)/W to one decimal place;
• date of manufacture or shift code;
• statement that the product complies with the standard; and
• for preformed insulation without a membrane (Type 1 material), except for draining insulation, a cautionary statement:
  “CAUTION: Building, electrical, fire and other applicable codes shall be complied with. All heat-emitting devices, such as fuelburning appliances, chimneys, pipes, ducts and vents to these appliances shall maintain a minimum clearance of 50 mm between these devices and the insulation. Recessed light fixtures, unless designed for the purpose, shall not be installed in insulated ceilings."

Where applicable, the product must carry additional information as stated below:

• If the product is intended for application at thicknesses other than the design thickness, the thermal resistance and application for each intended secondary application must be shown in similar print at a character height of at least half that of the design characters (with a minimum of 15 mm). The associated thickness of the secondary application must also be shown. This secondary application, thermal resistance and thickness information must be located on the same sides, excluding the ends, of the package as the design thermal resistance, application and thickness designations.
• Any necessary user safety information, unless a separate information sheet is provided.

Depending upon the jurisdiction, additional marking may be required by applicable acts and regulations.
