Manuals And Standards

In the coatings industry, there are numerous manuals and standards available.

The term "standard" can have different meanings, but typically it refers to a minimum requirement.

These documents cover various corrosion control aspects, developed through international collaboration with participation from many countries. While coating experts may not need to be familiar with the specific details of these documents, they should be aware of their existence.

The Coating Surveyor, in particular, should understand that manuals and standards exist for the coatings industry, specifically in relation to testing and assessment.

Using these manuals and standards, the surveyor can ensure that their reports align with industry-accepted documents and support any findings.

The Coating Radar App is a helpful tool that provides a list of relevant manuals and standards, ensuring that coating surveys reference appropriate coatings documents. These include paint testing and evaluation standards, adhesion tests, dry film thickness measurement, and holiday detection.
