CAN/CGSB-37.54-95

1. SCOPE 1.1 This standard applies to flexible, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membranes for use in roofing and waterproofing. 1.2 This standard also provides a basis for evaluating PVC membranes used on decking subject to pedestrian traffic, although additional criteria such as skid resistance, abrasion resistance and resistance to puncture from sustained loads may be important. These additional criteria have not been sufficiently studied by the committee for inclusion in the standard. 1.3 For more detailed information on intended uses, see par. 8.2. 1.4 The testing and evaluation of a product against this standard may require the use of materials and/or equipment that could be hazardous. This document does not purport to address all the safety aspects associated with its use. Anyone using this standard has the responsibility to consult the appropriate authorities and to establish appropriate health and safety practices in conjunction with any existing applicable regulatory requirements prior to its use.
