Application
Application 1: 
Spray-in-place polyurethane insulation installed to provide resistance to heat transfer in building components and assemblies as well as at interfaces between components and assemblies described in Sentence 5.1.2.1.(1) that are installed in buildings to which Part 5 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.2.(1) of Division A for application of Part 5].
Exceptions: 
except as stated in Sentence 5.3.1.1.(2), which applies where a lack of resistance to heat transfer will not adversely affect health, safety, the intended use of the building or the operation of building services.

Intent
Intent 1: 
To limit the probability that the thermal performance of the installed material will fall significantly below expectations, which could lead to the inadequate control of heat transfer through environmental separators under expected environmental loads, which could lead to condensation.
This is to limit the probability of deterioration, which could lead to compromised structural integrity of the separators or of elements supported or protected by the separators, which could lead to structural failure, which could lead to harm to persons.
