1.  SikaRoof® i-Cure Roof and Deck Membrane has been appraised as a roof and deck waterproofing membrane on buildings within the following scope:

• the scope limitations of NZBC Acceptable Solution E2/AS1, Paragraph 1.1; or,
• the scope limitations of NZBC Acceptable Solution E2/AS1, Paragraph 1.1 with regards to building height and floor plan area when subject to specific structural design; and,
• with substrates of plywood or suspended concrete slab; and,
• with minimum falls for plywood roofs of 1:30, concrete roofs of 1:60 and decks of 1:40; and,
• with deck size limited to 40 m²; and,
• situated in NZS 3604 Wind Zones up to, and including, Extra High.

2. SikaRoof® i-Cure Roof and Deck Membrane has also been appraised as a roof and deck waterproofing membrane on buildings within the following scope:

• subject to specific structural and weathertightness design; and,
• with substrates of plywood or suspended concrete slab; and,
• situated in specific design wind pressures up to a maximum design differential ultimate limit state (ULS) of 6 kPa; and,
• with the weathertightness design of junctions for each specific structure being the responsibility of the building designer.

3. Roofs and decks waterproofed with SikaRoof® i-Cure Roof and Deck Membrane must be designed and constructed in accordance with the following limitations:

• decks and nominally flat or pitched roofs constructed to drain water to gutters and drainage outlets complying with the NZBC; and,
• with no steps within the deck level, no integral roof gardens and no downpipes directly discharging to the deck; and,
• with the deck membranes continually protected from physical damage by a pedestal protection system.

4. The design and construction of the substrate and movement and control joints is specific to each building, and therefore is the responsibility of the building designer and building contractor and is outside the scope of this Appraisal.

5. The membrane must be installed by trained applicators, approved by Sika (NZ) Ltd.
