abstraction

This practice provides coating builders with a standard qualification method to verify their proficiency and ability to achieve the quality required to apply specific coatings to concrete surfaces, including safety-related areas in nuclear facilities. Changes or simplifications in practice may apply to special coating work, such as maintenance. This approach is not intended to impose a single basis for all qualifications. It is designed to judge only the ability of the coating applicator to apply a specific coating with the appropriate tools and equipment. This practice requires the coating applicator to apply the coating using the appropriate technology and application equipment. The surface of the concrete test area shall be prepared as specified.

Step 1: Scope

1.1 This practice provides a standard qualification method for paint coaters to verify their proficiency and ability to apply specific coatings to concrete surfaces, including safety-related areas of nuclear installations.

1.2 Variations or simplifications of the practices described herein may apply to special coating work, such as maintenance. The purpose of this approach is not to mandate a single basis for all qualifications.

1.3 Evaluation of coating applicators in accordance with this practice shall be carried out by the qualified agent specified in 4.1. The report shall be prepared in accordance with Section 5 and authenticated in accordance with Section 6.

1.4 The purpose of this practice is to judge only the ability of a paint applicator to apply a particular paint using appropriate tools and equipment.

1.5 Values in inch-pounds shall be considered standard. The values given in parentheses are for reference only.

1.6 This standard is not intended to address all safety concerns (if any) associated with its use. It is the responsibility of users of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
