Spray-Applied Foam Products Testing

Intertek provides testing and certification of Spray Applied Polyurethane Foam Insulation and Coating products.

Intertek is one of the only testing laboratories that offer manufacturers a single-stop solution for all testing, certification, inspection and follow-up services. Having all required services performed by a single vendor saves significant amounts of time and money in the testing and certification process. 

Our services include: 

  • Testing in accordance with ICC ES’ AC 377 Requirements for Low Density, Medium Density, High Density and Roofing SPF Insulation
  • Dictated by building codes:
    • IBC, IRC, IFC, UBC
     
  • Additional Testing Offered per AC-377:
    • ASTM C1363 - Thermal Performance
    • ASTM E96 - Vapor Retarder
    • ASTM E283 – Unvented, Conditioned Attic Assemblies as an Air Barrier
