Checking the preparation of a reference coating

During The representatives of all interested parties (owner, operator, contractor, paint distributor) are supposed to be present at the preparation of the reference surface, and to declare that the reference painting work is carried out according to the requirements. The preparation of the reference surface is documented.

The aim of preparing a reference surface is to carry out a trial painting under controlled conditions and – in case of eventual future deficiencies – the question of responsibility can be explicitly  decided. The reference surface can also be used for checking warranty requirements, if the contractual parties have preliminarily agreed on it.

Tests carried out while checking the preparation of the reference surface:

  • monitoring the environmental conditions during the surface-protection work, (temperature and humidity of air and object, dew-point)
  • quality check of the surface prepared by surface-pretreatment (visual inspection),
  • during the application of each paint layer:
      • checking the coverage degree of the surface and the evenness of the coating (by visual inspection),
      • measurement of wet coating thickness,
      • measurement of dry coating thickness,
      • bond test,
  • qualification of the prepared coating system in respect of corrosion protection.
