Those who started in the industrial painting industry back in the 1980s may remember that third-party inspectors, hired by the owner, performed all of the inspection activities and documentation. The NACE Coating Inspection Program (CIP) had just begun in the early 80s, but those getting certified did not work for a contractor. That has changed. Now contractor quality control (QC) and owner quality assurance (QA) are much more clearly defined.
This paper builds a case for trained, certified commercial painting contractors and applicators. It discusses SSPC: The Society for Protective Coatings’ (SSPC’s) initiatives and progress in standards development for Commercial Contractor Certification and Commercial Certified Application Specialists.
Recognizing the need to elevate craft workers’ skills within the industrial coatings industry, the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT) became involved in the development of the published SSPC ACS 1/NACE No.13 Joint Standard and the Body of Knowledge contained within. Since the development of the joint standard, the IUPAT has taken advantage of the opportunities afforded by the standard and remained committed to ensuring that its members are properly trained and certified as prescribed by the industry standard.
The Society for Preventive Coatings (SSPC) has been an essential partner with the Department of Defense in the fight against corrosion for nearly 10 years. Since 2003, SSPC’s leadership and expertise in corrosion management, prevention and control has been a very important factor in our success at combating the insidious and pervasive effects of corrosion on our facilities and equipment.
PREPARATION FOR SSPC QP3 SHOP CERTIFICATION
What is SSPC QP8 certification? Who benefits? What is entailed in obtaining certification and what are some of the key requirements? Where do we see QP8's place in the resinous flooring industry in years to come?
The intent of the nuclear supplement to the relevant SSPC QP contractor certification programs is to certify contractors and paint shops to perform work in and for nuclear facilities that require an enhanced level of quality assurance / quality control requirements and nuclear safety culture awareness for surface preparation and painting activities. SSPC will expand the current QP certification to include the assessment of capabilities of SSPC certified firms to provide coating services to the nuclear power industry based on ANSI and ASTM standards as well as NRC guidelines.
The NACE International Institute Contractor Accreditation Program (NIICAP) is an industry managed accreditation program that validates a contractor's quality assurance program, support practices, and production processes.
SSPC established the Coating Application Specialist (CAS) Certification Program for industrial painters in 2008, at present there are 8 standards for applicators. It includes QP1 FIELD APPLICATION TO COMPLEX INDUSTRIAL AND MARINE STRUCTURES, QP2 FIELD REMOVAL OF HAZARDOUS COATINGS and QP3 SHOP PAINTING ACCREDITATION PROGRAM.
