1.1 Planning and preparation
c) Canadian Standards
The SCC (Standards Council of Canada) mandate is
to promote efficient and effective voluntary
standardization in Canada, in particular, to
promote, oversee and coordinate efforts of people
and organizations involved in the National
Standards System.
In Canada (as in the US) accredited bodies such as
CSA (Canada Standards Association) and
CAN/ULC (Underwriters Laboratory) produce
consensus based standards that can be adopted by
various regulatory bodies. ASTM standards are
widely used in Canada (see Chapter 2.1.2 on ASTM
standards).
Most commonly used standard in Industrial/
Mechanical applications is CAN/ULC S114
(Non-combustibility) and S102 (Surface Burning
Characteristics).
Provincial building codes based on the model
National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) regulate
the general construction of buildings, including
industrial buildings housing process equipment.

d) MICA Standards
First published in 1979 by MICA (Midwest Insulation
Contractors Association), the Standards Manual
has received wide acceptance throughout the
United States and other countries. It has
established standardized guides never before
available to our field for methods of designing,
specifying and installing thermal insulation
products. The 7th edition of the National
Commercial & Industrial Insulation Standards
continues to be the national source of technical
information for the design specification and
installation of commercial and industrial insulation.

e) NACE International Standard Practice
NACE International - The Corrosion Society serves
nearly 33,000+ members in 116 countries and is
recognized as the premier authority for corrosion
control solutions. The organization offers technical
training and certification programs, conferences,
industry standards, reports, publications and more.
NACE standards represent a consensus of those
individual members who have reviewed the
documents, their scope, and their provisions.
NACE Standard Practice SP0198-2010 "Control of
Corrosion Under Thermal Insulation and
Fireproofing Materials - A System Approach"
provides the current technology and industry
practices for mitigating corrosion under thermal
insulation and fireproofing materials, a problem
termed Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI).

f) CINI Guideline
CINI is a Dutch association, in which various
companies active in the industrial/mechanical
insulation of industrial plants have united to
develop uniform material and design guidelines.
When compiling these standards, CINI works
closely with many decision makers from within the
insulation sector.
The CINI Standards are guidelines, yet they do not
constitute national standards. Nevertheless, the
CINI standards are often adopted by operators and
design engineers in the Benelux countries, as well
as by international companies operating in the
petrochemical industry, for example, Shell. They
are often used by operators and design engineers
as guidelines on tendering procedures for
insulation works. The CINI standards also are
grouped into material standards and design rules.
The validation of the material properties is based
on ASTM and AGI guidelines.
