Assumption and Key
NCC 2019 prescribes different methods to determine Total R-value Calculations for Volume 1 and Volume 2.
The R-values shown are Total R-values for the building element as required by the Energy Provisions of the National Construction Code, calculated in accordance with AS/NZS 4859.2 2018 & NZS 4214.
Kingspan Kooltherm® products are manufactured, tested and packaged in conformance with AS/NZS 4859.1:2018.
Examples shown are suitable for NCC Class 1 & 10a housing and Fire-Resisting Construction Type C walls in NCC Class 2 – 9 buildings.
For Fire-Resisting Construction Type A & B walls in NCC Class 2 – 9 buildings a Performance Solution is required.

Specification Clause
The external wall insulation shall be Kingspan Kooltherm K5 External Wall Board ___ mm thick, with a tested smoke obscuration of not more than 100 m2/kg, comprising a CFC/HCFC–free and zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) rigid thermoset phenolic insulation core with a tissue based facing on both sides manufactured under a management system certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, OHSAS 18001:2007 and ISO 50001:2011 by Kingspan Insulation Pty Ltd and shall be installed by approved installers (please contact Kingspan Insulation). A Project Specific Warranty provided by Kingspan Insulation must be submitted.
Specify with: 
Handling & Storage
Installation should be in accordance with AS 3999:2015, Section 4 – Safety Requirements for Insulation Installation.
Storage
The polythene packaging of Kingspan Kooltherm should not be considered adequate for long term outdoor protection. Ideally, boards should be stored inside a building. If, however, outside storage cannot be avoided, then the boards should be stacked clear of the ground and covered with a polythene sheet or weatherproof tarpaulin. Boards that have been allowed to get wet should not be used.
Kingspan Kooltherm K5 External Wall Board should be protected from getting wet during periods of inclement weather prior to the application of the weatherproof render.
Installation Instructions
Kingspan Kooltherm K5 External Wall Board should only be installed by approved installers. For more information please call Technical Services on 1300 247 235 or email technical@kingspaninsulation.com.au
