Model and local building codes used in the United States provide guidance and requirements for the safe use of materials and systems used in buildings. Model building codes such as those published by ANSI, ASTM, ICC, NFPA and others include specific sections pertaining to the safe use of foam plastics in construction. As a service to the polyurethanes industry, CPI provides a listing of polyurethane-related fire standards and tests.
