CPI is dedicated to supporting the highest quality of building codes and standards worldwide. CPI members interact with various code groups including ASTM International, ICC, ISO, NFPA and more. Codes and standards for building and construction make enormous contributions to most aspects of our lives - from product quality to compatibility to reliability to efficiency to safety. They also have important economic and social repercussions. They make a difference not only to me and to you, but to society as a whole.
Codes and standards are useful to industrial and business organizations of all types, from governments and other regulatory bodies, to trade officials, to suppliers and customers of products and services in both public and private sectors, and, ultimately, to people in general in their roles as consumers and end users.
Codes and standards are intended to make the development, manufacturing and supply of products and services more efficient, safer and cleaner. They make trade between countries easier and fairer. They provide governments with a technical base for health, safety and environmental legislation. They aid in transferring technology to developing countries. They also serve to safeguard consumers, and users in general, against faulty products and services - as well as to make their lives simpler.
As a service to the polyurethane industry, CPI has organized polyurethane related codes, specifications, standards and test methods into the following categories:

The polyurethane industry, working together through the American Chemistry Council's (ACC) Center for the Polyurethanes Industry (CPI) and the Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance (SPFA), has launched an enhanced product stewardship program to support further understanding of the benefits of spray polyurethane foam and its continued safe use and handling. A part of this outreach, a new Spray Polyurethane Foam Health and Safety website, www.spraypolyurethane.com, has been launched by CPI and SPFA that contains new materials, literature and posters to increase understanding of spray polyurethane foam (SPF) product stewardship information.
