SPE and QP 3 certification programs transition to jointly developed standard, AISC 420-10/SSPC-QP 3.
SSPC: The Society for Protective Coatings and the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) are pleased to announce a joint certification standard for shop application of protective coatings.
The standard, “Certification Standard for Shop Application of Complex Protective Coating Systems,” was the culmination of several years of work by a joint committee of coatings and steel industry professionals representing both organizations. The standard describes requirements for certification of firms that shop apply complex painting systems.
According to Michael Damiano, Director of Product Development at SSPC, “The strength of this standard is that it enables paint shops and steel fabricators to meet the qualification criteria of two major organizations at one time, while giving owners and specifiers a single governing document to reference.”
Jacques Cattan, VP of Certification for AISC added, “The jointly sponsored certification will confirm to owners, the design community, and the construction industry that a firm has knowledgeable personnel and the organization, experience, procedures, and equipment to provide surface preparation and application of complex painting systems in a shop facility according to contract specifications.”
The joint standard is available now for free download on AISC’s website at aisc.org/JointPaintStandard and SSPC’s website at sspc.org/market-place, for inclusion into project specifications and contract documents. Starting on June 1, 2011, participants will only be responsible for the criteria of the current standards but will be informed of changes or possible non-conformances that will take effect with the new joint standard during their next annually scheduled audit. Full implementation of the new joint standard will be complete in 2012.
