ISO 8502-1 and ISO 8502-3, respectively. Test indicating the extent of substrate contamination of
chlorides is specified in both ISO 8502-6 and ISO 8502-9.
5.2.2 Surface Profile
Spot checks of surface profile shall be carried out on prepared surface. These shall be performed
according to the procedure described in ISO 8503-2 or ASTM D 4417.
5.2.3 Dry Film Thickness
Dry film thickness measurement shall be made of each coat such as primer coat, intermediate coat
and finish coat of total system, in accordance with the procedure established by SSPC-PA2, and test
techniques mentioned in ISO 2808.
5.2.4 Field Inspection
Compliance with governing specifications shall be checked by the Inspector during the entire course
of surface preparation and application of the paint, coating or wrapping systems.
Work shall not proceed with the next step in the system sequence (i.e., surface preparation, priming,
intermediate, finish coat application) until the previous work has been inspected and approved by the
Inspector.
5.2.5 Colours and Identification for Piping and Equipment
Colours and Identification for Piping and Equipment shall be in accordance with Tables 1 & 2 of this
specification.
5.2.6 Non-Conforming Work
Work found unacceptable shall be immediately corrected in accordance with this specification.
