ISO 8873-2:2007
Scope
This part of ISO 8873 outlines requirements for the application of rigid cellular plastic spray polyurethane foam
for thermal insulation. The primary application of the material is for use as thermal insulation. Spray
polyurethane foam can also be used as the air barrier material which forms part of an air barrier assembly in
buildings. Under specific application conditions, the material can be used in vapour barrier applications in a
building assembly (details of the conditions can be obtained from the manufacturer). The application
requirements are for the installation of spray polyurethane foam whether applied on a building site or in a
prefabrication (manufacturing) facility.
This part of ISO 8873 can be used for non-building applications when agreed to by the supplier and the
purchaser.
The requirements include obligations for the manufacturer, the contractor and the installer. The requirements
include the selection of chemical components, application requirements, quality control and documentation of
the application, limitations for the application and requirements for safety and for disposal of associated waste
material and packaging.
Installation of spray polyurethane foam for thermal insulation, according to this part of ISO 8873 requires the
use of materials and/or equipment that could be hazardous.
