In the context of FM Approval, it is important to determine whether we are dealing with an FM Approved assembly or an FM Approved product.
FM Approved: Product or System?
- FM Approved producten: individual construction materials, such as an insulation board, that have been tested according to FM standards.
- FM Approved systemen (assemblies): complete roofing systems consisting of multiple layers (such as vapor barrier, insulation, waterproofing, and fastening) that are tested and certified as a complete system under FM requirements.
The most up-to-date information regarding which insulation products can be used in an FM Approved assembly can be found on the RoofNav website of FM Global: https://roofnav.app.fmglobal.com/ .
