Material Acceptance and Product Details The information published in the RCABC Roofing Practices Manual and offered below does NOT represent a complete set of the manufacturer’s data or specifications, nor is this material recommended or endorsed by the Guarantor. The preparation of a detailed specification is the responsibility of the Design Authority.
Manufacturer Name linked to website here Accepted for the RoofStar Guarantee Program Date here Accepted for application in Waterproofing Roof Systems Grade-level Waterproofing Systems Water-shedding Roof Systems Acceptance Criteria Product Summary description here, using breaks (adapted from the Technical Data Sheet) Conditions and Limitations description here, using breaks
Notice and Disclaimer: Technical Data Sheets for SBS and APP Polymer-modified bituminous membranes Bituminous roofing membranes are governed by RGC Acceptance Criteria RGC ACWP-MOD (applicable to membranes accepted after July 1, 2023). The CSA Standard for these membranes, CSA A123.23 "Product specification for polymer modified bitumen sheet, prefabricated and reinforced", forms the backbone of the RGC Acceptance Criteria and has replaced the older CGSB Standard CGSB 37-GP-56M, which was withdrawn in 2015. The "British Columbia Building Code" (2024) references the CSA A123.23 Standard in both Part 5 and Part 9 of Division B. The Standard is also published in the National Building Code of Canada (2020), and the City of Vancouver Building Bylaw (2024). Not all manufacturers of SBS and APP polymer-modified membranes publish technical data sheets that fully align with the CSA Standard. Therefore, the reader must verify this information independently of the RGC, to the reader's own satisfaction. Consult the local manufacturer's representative through the "Find a Member" page on the RCABC association website.

-Newly accepted bituminous roofing membranes modified with styrene butadiene styrene ("SBS") or attactic polypropylene ("APP") are governed by RGC Acceptance Criteria [https://rpm.rcabc.org/images/9/9e/Acceptance_Criteria_RGC_ACWP-MOD.pdf RGC ACWP-MOD] (applicable to membranes accepted after July 1, 2023).  However, all roofing membranes used in the Province of British Columbia must now conform to CSA standard A123.23, "Product specification for polymer-modified bitumen sheet, which is the standard published in both the British Columbia Building Code (2024), Part 5, [https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/farming-natural-resources-and-industry/construction-industry/building-codes-and-standards/revisions-and-mo/bcbc_2024.pdf#%5B%7B%22num%22%3A657%2C%22gen%22%3A0%7D%2C%7B%22name%22%3A%22XYZ%22%7D%2C0%2C392%2C0%5D Table 5.9.1.1.] and in the National Building Code of Canada (2020), Part 5, [https://nrc-publications.canada.ca/eng/view/ft/?id=515340b5-f4e0-4798-be69-692e4ec423e8#%5B%7B%22num%22%3A1909%2C%22gen%22%3A0%7D%2C%7B%22name%22%3A%22XYZ%22%7D%2Cnull%2C533%2Cnull%5D Table 5.9.1.1.].  CSA Standard A123.23 forms the backbone of the RGC Acceptance Criteria and has replaced the older CGSB Standard CGSB  37-GP-56M, which was first published in 1980 and last revised in 1985 (withdrawn in 2013).
+Bituminous roofing membranes are governed by RGC Acceptance Criteria [https://rpm.rcabc.org/images/9/9e/Acceptance_Criteria_RGC_ACWP-MOD.pdf RGC ACWP-MOD] (applicable to membranes accepted after July 1, 2023).  The CSA Standard for these membranes, CSA A123.23 "Product specification for polymer modified

-Not all SBS and APP Polymer-modified membranes accepted by the RGC prior to July 1, 2023 publish technical data sheets that align with the newer CSA Standard.  While the RGC provides technical sheets for viewing in the Roofing Practices Manual, not all may be current or even conforming to the standards they purport to align with.  Therefore, the reader must validate this information independently of the RGC, to the reader's own satisfaction.  For more about the product and the technical standards it meets, consult the local manufacturer's representative through the [https://www.rcabc.org/members/find-a-member/ "Find a Member"] page on the RCABC association website.
