| Notice and Disclaimer: Technical Data Sheets
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. Click the link below for the latest Technical Data Sheet supplied to the RGC by the manufacturer. |
