Design Professionals
Global Lab has been testing roofing and building envelope systems for over 25 years. Our services are used by design professionals and engineers for quality assurance during roof construction, and to support litigation and warranty claims.
In 2021, working with the NRC, the Canadian Standards Association adopted CSA A123.26 Performance requirements for climate resilience of low slope membrane roofing systems. The standard can be used to improve the durability of roofing systems, and includes requirements for either full-time inspection during construction or part-time inspection with added testing.
Global testing services comply with recognized test criteria set by organizations such as CSA, ASTM and FM Global. The requirement for testing can be set out in the specifications with the cost being paid from a cash allowance. Global can provide guidance in how to include testing within your specifications.
