===All Systems===
====Use Over Sensitive Materials and Systems====
<ol>
<li>{{hilite |Notwithstanding the requirements in '''Part 7''' concerning ''heat-sensitive insulation''|| 2021-June-30 }}, an insulation overlay of one or more layers is required over {{hilite | all flat and sloped ||2021-June-30 }} board-type insulation, {{hilite | and on insulation installed on vertical surfaces|| 2021-June-30 }},

<ol>
<li>at least 12.5 mm (1/2”) thick,
<li>offset from insulation joints by at least 300 mm (12”), and
<li>continuously sealed with a flame-impervious tape along all joints with adjacent panels, or
</li></ol>
<li>two layers of panels,
<ol>
<li>each at least 4.8 mm (3/16”) thick, and
<li>offset from each other, from the adjacent layer, and from insulation joints by at least 300 mm (12”).
</li></ol>
</li></ol>
</li></ol>
</li></ol>

====Use Over Mineral Fibre Insulation====
<ol>
<li>{{hilite | An insulation overlay is not required when torch-applied membranes are installed directly on mineral fibre insulation treated with a thermofusible bitumen top surface (This exception is subject to the requirements for mineral wool insulation published in '''Part 7 INSULATION''')|| 2022-October-22 }}.
<li>{{hilite | When an overlay board is required over mineral wool insulation, the overlay board must be a moisture resistant fibreglass-faced silicon treated gypsum core board measuring at least 12.7 mm (1/2") thick (See also '''7.2 Materials''' concerning mineral wool insulation)|| 2022-October-22 }}.

==Materials==
(See [http://rpm.rcabc.org/index.php?title=Division_C:_Accepted_Materials '''Division C: Accepted Materials'''])

===Material Properties===
====Insulation Overlay Dimensions====
<ol>
<li>Regardless of the type of insulation overlay, the overall thickness of insulation overlay boards shall not exceed 50 mm (2”) (See minimum allowable thicknesses are shown in '''Table 8.1''').
<li>{{hilite | Asphalt-coated|| 2021-June-30 }} fibreboard roof insulation adhered with hot asphalt or an asphalt-based adhesive must be asphalt-coated on the top and bottom surface (Minimum coated two-sides).
<li>Fire guard tape must be 150 mm (6”) wide
<ol>
<li>self-adhering modified bituminous tape acceptable to the membrane manufacturer, or
<li>Type IV fibreglass felt or No. 15 organic felt, applied with hot bitumen or cold adhesive.
</li></ol>
