ICC EXCEPTION REPORTS FOR SPRAY FOAM INSULATION
Current as of 7/1/2009
The following manufacturers of .5lb density spray foam insulation have submitted testing
to the ICC in order to receive an exemption so their product can be sprayed directly on
the roof deck in unvented attic applications without an ignition barrier.
Several of these manufacturers’ submissions have resulted in not being approved without
an ignition barrier and are noted below. If a manufacturer is not listed, they are not
approved and have not submitted data to the ICC for this exception.
It should also be noted that the ICC is changing the test methods for these approvals so
that all spray foams will have to be re-tested for approval by June 1, 2010.
