Specifies material requirements for extruded rigid cellular polystyrene (RC/PS-E) used in sheets, boards, blocks and cut shapes for thermal insulation. Lists minimum properties and test methods for quality control and material specification.

This Standard specifies requirements for extruded rigid cellular polystyrene (RC/PS-E) in the form of sheets or boards, blocks and cut shapes for thermal insulation. These requirements are intended for use in quality control and material specification, and are not necessarily applicable for end use design requirements.NOTE: Advisory information on the determination of compliance of a lot is given in Appendix A. Guidance to purchasers on recommended applications of extruded rigid cellular polystyrene (RC/PS-E) is given in Appendix B.
