This document outlines requirements for exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS), used in combination with a drained air space as an exterior wall cladding system. The document includes requirements for a water resistive barrier assembly that are used as part of EIFS. The EIFS wall cladding system comprises a water resistive barrier assembly, thermal insulation boards, an attachment method to secure the system to the substrate, a glass fibre reinforcing mesh embedded in a base coat on the face of the thermal insulation boards, and a finish coat. The use of mechanical fasteners is outside the scope of this document which is limited to materials but is addressed in the Part 2: Installation document. In EIFS, the thermal insulation boards support the base coat with integral glass fibre reinforcing mesh. Systems where the reinforcement is the supporting element of the rendering, e.g. conventional stucco, are not covered by this document. This document does not purport to address all the health and safety aspects associated with its use. Anyone using this document has the responsibility to establish health and safety practices for it’s use.
