Buildings Incorporating Steel Building Systems: Responsibilities of the Parties Involved
CSSBI B8, Buildings Incorporating Steel Building Systems: Responsibilities of the Parties Involved outlines responsibilities implicit in the 2005 National Building Code of Canada (NBCC), and Provincial Building Codes, for various parties involved in the design and construction of buildings incorporating Steel Building Systems (SBS).
Paint Specification
The CSSBI S8 publication Quality and Performance Specification for Prefinished Sheet Steel Used for Building Products applies to hot dipped metallic coated sheet steel prefinished with colours of proven durability and suitable for exterior exposure as delivered from the coil coater. Specific requirements are included that cover the base steel, metallic coating, paint qualification tests, exterior exposure (weathering), accelerated corrosion tests, and colour match. This specification can be adopted by reference and sets a minimum level of performance for prefinished sheet steel building products.
The Canadian suppliers to our CSSBI manufacturer members have introduced pepainted product lines to deliver improved performance for today and well into the future: Perspectra Series™ and WeatherX™. These systems are the result of an extensive investigation of the most current paint system technologies for sheet steel products. These are cost-effective systems designed to provide outstanding weathering performance and corrosion resistance.
