Validity

This certificate was first issued on 18th September 2018 and is valid until 18th September 2019

Issue Dated 18th September 2018

Certificate No: EWW812

The structurally insulated panels (SIPs) comprise OSB/3, EPS insulation and structural timber to form loadbearing walls and

roofs in buildings.

The panels have been verified as suitable as load bearing partitions and external walls for a typical four storey domestic

property with a tiled duo-pitched roof and suitable wall cladding.

The system can also be used in residential, commercial and institutional buildings both in loadbearing applications and as a

non-loadbearing infill panel to a structural frame subject to the submission and verification of additional structural

calculations on an individual project basis.

i-SIPs are available in the following thicknesses: 111, 136, 162, 206 and 257mm.

Maximum standard panel dimensions: 6.00 x 2.77 m.

Design loadings have been taken to cover the building being located in any part of England or Wales with a maximum altitude of 100m and basic wind velocity of 25m/s.

Roof construction consists of factory produced cassettes consisting of Engineered timber joists receiving particle board or

plywood sheathing.

Suspended floors consist of factory produced cassettes consisting of Engineered timber joists receiving particle board or

plywood boarding.

Wall construction consists of panels which have been checked with intermediate restraint (from an intermediate floor

construction).

Excluded from the check are the following items which should all be designed on a project specific basis:

• Drifted snow analysis

• Pitched roofs

• Ridge beams

• Purlins

• Eaves beams

• Flat roof cassettes

• Suspended floor cassettes

• Steelwork

• Lintels

• Balconies

• Staircases

• Foundations

• Overall resistance to uplift/overturning and the racking resistance of the structure

 

  

The Innovaré Systems Limited i-SIP Structural Insulated Panel System relies on other construction products, materials and

components to form a complete wall, floor and roof element.

Structural design of the building /element incorporating the SIP shall be in accordance with the relevant Eurocode.

Details of additional protection measures to resist moisture/contaminants from the ground and from moisture outside the

building are site specific: to be determined by location, subsoil and exposure conditions.

The installation must be undertaken by competent installers trained, registered and monitored by Innovaré Systems Limited

and in strict accordance with their designs, details and specifications.

The thermal insulation performance of this system should be considered in context of the contribution made to the overall

performance of the wall structure.

Appropriate thermal analysis will be provided in each instance to demonstrate continued compliance with Approved

Document L 2013.

The following items should be designed on a project specific basis:

Ridge beams

Purlins

Eaves beams

Steelwork

Foundations

Overall racking resistance of the structure

First floor structure

Notification that the structures have been completed and signed off by the manufacturer and are in accordance with the

individual design.
