BBA is a British Certification System. I would doubt that it would be acceptable in Ireland.
Just because it's certified in the UK doesn't necessary mean it will be suitable for Irish applcations.
I would wait until it's IAB certifed first before taking a chance. With the new Building Control Regulations coming out in March 2014, I can't see any Architect/Engineer certifying it solely on the basis it's BBA Certified.
Thanks. I would have thought all houses have rendered or similar finishes. I don't know of any with just bare blocks as that would prove to be a very damp external wall.FYI
Extract from HomeBond House Building Manual
"The use of full fill cavity wall insulation is limited both in terms of external wall construction and in terms of exposure conditions.
In areas of normal exposure, fair-faced unrendered brickwork is acceptable for full fill cavity wall insulation up to two storeys in height with a minimum cavity width of 90mm and up to three storeys in height with a minimum cavity width of 140mm.
In areas of severe exposure, unrendered brickwork is not suitable for full-fill cavity wall insulation.
Cavity walls with the outer leaf constructed using unrendered fair-faced blockwork are not suitable for full-fill cavity wall insulation.
Full-fill cavity wall insulation must be appropriately certified in relation to the intended use and conditions of use, as per the guidance outlined above, and must be installed in accordance with the requirements of its Agrement certificate. The map included in the Agrement certificate outlines the area of normal and severe exposure. The map is also reproduced on page 225 of the House Building Manual."

Waltite is also waterproof apparently.
According to it's BBA Cert, it will resist the transfer of precipitation to the inner leaf only when the product is properly installed in accordance with the certficate.
