Palram Wins CCMC Approvals
The Canadian Construction Materials
Centre (CCMC) has recently approved
many Palram products. The CCMC is
similar to the International Code
Council (ICC) approval in the United
States. This is a required approval for
sales of construction materials in the
Canadian market. The following
Palram products have received appro -
val in Evaluation Report 13450-R:
Suntuf¨, Palruf¨, Palopaque¨, Sunlite¨,
Palsun¨, and Suntop¨.
ÒEntry into the Canadian construction
products market is a strategic
accomplishment for Palram,Ó stated
Mark Weaver, Technical Services Man -
ager. ÒHaving CCMC approval will
stream line the permitting process for
the contractor and the homeowner.Ó
The approval is not listed on the
National Research Council CanadaÕs
website yet, as their registry is updated
on a quarterly basis. An excerpt
from the Evaluation Report 13450-R
is as follows: Suntuf¨, Palruf¨, Palo -
paque¨, Sunlite¨, Palsun¨ and Suntop¨
(polycarbonate and polyvinyl chloride panels) when used as a canopy covering in accordance
with the conditions and limitations stated in Section 3 of
CCMC Evaluation Report #13450-R, complies with the
National Building Code 2010.
