Insulated Rimboard Evaluation
EMERCOR Structural Insulated Panels are comprised of materials, which meet or exceed the standards, which are recognized by evaluation services in Canada and the United States, such as CCMC, ICBO, NER etc. EMERCOR Panels are similar to other engineered products like the roof truss.
EMERCOR panels have been tested to determine their physical capabilities. Independent registered professional engineers have prepared load tables for use in the review and approval of EMERCOR panels on each project.
The individual components used to produce an EMERCOR panel conform to the following standards:
