4. DEFFINITIONS
4.1. “COAT” is a continuous layer of a coating material resulting from a single application.
4.2. “COATING” is the liquid, liquefiable, mastic, powder or any other composition and material
that after application to a substrate, is converted into a solid protective adherent film.
4.3. “PAINT” is the mix composed primarily of pigments dispersed in a film-former, or binder,
which is either dissolved in solvent or emulsified in water to make paint fluid enough to apply
by brush, roller or spray. After application of the paint in a relatively thin film, the solvent or
water evaporates and the remaining film dries or cures to form a tough, adherent coat.
4.4. “COATING MATERIAL” is the liquid, liquefiable, mastic, powder or any other composition
and material intended to be applied on a defined surface.
4.5. “PAINT SYSTEM” is the sum total of the coats of metal materials and/or paints or related
products that are to be applied or which have been applied to a substrate to provide corrosion
protection.
4.6. “CONTRACTOR” is the party that performs paint removal, surface preparation and coatings
application on offshore structures, and to whom the coating project has been contracted.
4.7. “PAINT MANUFACTURER” is the party producing and supplying the coating materials, and
providing an advisory role in all processes associated with the coating project.
4.8. “MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET” (MSDS) is a document designed to provide

information regarding the health and safety aspects of a coating material or thinner.
4.9. “PRODUCT DATA SHEET” (PDS) is a document designed to provide information on a

specific coating material.
4.10. “STRIPE–COAT” is an additional coat of paint applied usually by brush on difficult-to-reach

areas and on weld seams, edges, bolts, nuts, etc, to provide specified film thickness.
4.11. “SUBSTRATE” is the solid surface intended to be coated or lined with the specified coating
system.
4.12. “SUBSTRATE TEMPERATURE” is defined as:

 When the internal fluid temperature is equal or higher than 60ºC, the substrate temperature shall
be equal to maximum operational temperature;
 When the internal fluid temperature is lower than 60ºC, the substrate temperature is controlled by
atmospheric temperature and considerations must be done about the solar and flare radiation
effect on substrate temperature.

4.13. “COFFERDAM” is an insulating space between two watertight bulkheads or decks within a
ship. A cofferdam may be a void (empty) space or a ballast space. Cofferdams are usually
employed to ensure oil or other chemicals do not leak into machinery spaces. If two different
cargoes that react dangerously with each other are carried on the same vessel, one or more
cofferdams are usually required between the cargo spaces.
4.14. “BULKHEAD” is an upright partition dividing a ship into compartments and serving to add
structural rigidity and to prevent the spread of leakage or fire.
4.15. “CHAIN LOCKER” is a enclosed space where ship’s anchor is stowed.
4.16. “MOON POOL” is a feature of offshore platforms, floating producing and storage oil (FPSO)
ships and drillships, which it is also known as a wet porch. It is an opening in the floor or base
of the hull, platform or chamber giving access to the water below, allowing workers to lower
tools and instruments into the sea. It provides shelter and protection so that even if the ship is in
high seas or surrounded by ice, workers have the opportunity to work in shirt-sleeved comfort
compared to being on a deck exposed to the elements. A moon pool also allows divers or small
submersible craft to enter or leave the water easily in a more protected environment.
4.17. “BOOTTOP” is a line painted on a ship’s hull which shows the point the waterline can reach
when the ship is loaded (or unloaded).
4.18. “BILGE KEEL” is a strake, or small keel or blister, running along much of the length of the
hull. It is used to reduce the hull's tendency to roll. They are typically fitted one on each side,
low down on the side of the hull, so as not to increase the draft of the vessel.
4.19. “SEACHEST” is a rectangular recess near the bottom of the ship from which piping systems
draw raw water for cooling or other uses (see Figure 1 - Seachest schematic draw). Sea
chests are protected by grates and can contain baffle plates to further dampen the effects of ship
speed.
Figure 1 - Seachest schematic draw
4.20. “VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUND (VOC)”: any organic liquid and/or solid that evaporate
spontaneously at the prevailing temperature and pressure of the atmosphere with which it is in
contact.

20.5. TESTES ON COMPLETION OF COATING WORKS
No. REV.
AREA OR UNIT SHEET
TITLE
GENERAL PAINTING
20.5.1. When the paint system application is completed and coating cured, the tests and inspections
listed in Table 16 shall be performed. The acceptance criteria requirements below add to
those mentioned in Table 16.
20.5.1.1. Adhesion
20.5.1.1.1. The adhesion test is essentially a destructive test, so the painted surface, where test is
done, must be repainted or retouched.
20.5.1.1.2. As an alternative to testing adhesion to the failure point, the tests can be interrupted
when the minimum specified adhesion value is achieved. This method precludes the
need to repair coatings damaged by the test. The adherent pull stubs can then be
removed by heating (without damaging the paint system) to soften the adhesive.
20.5.1.1.3. Sampling shall be done according the instructions below:
a) For piping: Each sample area unit comprises 250 meters length intervals or fraction, along
the entire piping run,
b) For equipments and structures: The sample area comprises each 250m2 or fraction of
painted surfaces of one equipment or structure.
20.5.1.1.4. Each adhesion test shall be done according the instructions below:
a) In the sample painted area, bond pull-stub to the coating surface with adhesive and allow it
to cure thoroughly. When it cured, carry out the adhesion test. If the test result shows lack
of adhesion, the test shall be repeated at two points diametrically opposite, 1 meter away
from the point of the previous test.
b) If the other two tests display no lack of adhesion, the sample area is approved by the
adhesion test. In this case the adjacent initially tested area shall be re-applied (a circle of
0,2m radius centered where pull-stub was bonded), with the areas of the subsequent tests
areas being retouched.
c) If both of them display a lack of adhesion, the sample painted area failed in the adhesion
test and must be entirely re-applied.
d) If one of the two tests (see item a)) displays a lack of adhesion, another two points
diametrically opposite the failed point test must be tested. If one of the additional two tests
displays a lack of adhesion, the sample painted area failed in the adhesion test and must be
entirely repainted.
e) If both adhesion tests mentioned in item d) display no lack of adhesion, the sample area is
approved by the adhesion test. In this case the failed tested areas shall be re-applied (a
circle of 0,2m radius centered where pull-stub was bonded), with the areas of the
subsequent tests areas being retouched.
20.5.1.2. Dry Film Thickness
20.5.1.2.1. The criterion of 90/10 is not applicable; only for ballast tanks. For other cases, applies
the criteria of ISO 19840 Paints and varnishes - Corrosion protection of steel structures
by protective paint systems - Measurement of, and acceptance criteria for, the thickness

 Areas in which the reduction of thickness per coat is less than 10% are acceptable provided
the affected area does not exceed 10% of the overall surface.
 If the reduction in thickness per coat exceeds 10% but beyond the minimum total thickness,
no additional coat shall be applied over the entire affected area. If the reduction in thickness
per coat exceeds 10% and there are points with thickness below the minimum total
thickness, then additional coat shall be applied over the entire affected area; except in the
case of zinc ethyl silicate, which, in this case, shall be totally removed and a new coat shall
be applied.
 Areas where the dry nominal film thickness is higher than the maximum total thickness can
be approved if the adhesion is higher than the minimum required. Apply the requirements
of item 20.5.1.1, considering area fractions of 250 m2.

20.5.1.3.1. The following criterion of acceptance is applicable to paint films examined: sagging,
swelling, wrinkling, cracking, blistering, cratering, impregnation with abrasive and/or
foreign matter, peeling off, oxidation and/or corrosion inclusion of hairs, pores and
smudges will not be accepted.
20.5.1.4. Sampling plan for Dust and soluble salts tests
20.5.1.4.1. The minimum number of randomly taken measurements to be taken for verifying the
dust or soluble salts on surfaces is given in Table 17. The number of measurements
given is generally considered as being representative for inspection areas for the
purposes of this standard. This number shall be increased for inspection areas having a
difficult configuration with regard to paint application or measurement or limitations in
accessibility (difficult areas).
20.5.1.4.2. The measurements must be done after surface preparation and before paint application.
20.5.1.4.2.1. When the lapse time between the surface preparation and paint application is longer
than two (2) hours, made the measurements 15 minutes before paint application.
20.5.1.4.3. Consider the total area of each equipment or piping prepared during a work shift as the
inspection area.
20.5.1.4.4. The acceptance criteria: no measurement above the maximum soluble salts.

ANNEX C - TEST CONDITIONS

A.1 The test cupons shall be conditioned prior to the test at (25 ± 2) °C and (50 ± 5)% relative
humidity for a minimum of 48 h before testing, and the test shall be performed within 30 min
after removal from that standard atmosphere.
A.2 The climatic conditions during the test shall be a temperature of (25 ± 2) °C.
A.3 Wet the paint surface by using a glycerol solution with a viscosity of (0,2 ± 0,1) Pa·s {(200 ±
100) cP}. At 25 °C this corresponds to an aqueous solution containing a mass fraction of
approximately 86,6 % to 93,7 % (see Table C.1).
NOTE: As a solution containing a mass fraction of approximately 90 % glycerol is hygroscopic in

air with a relative humidity of more than 32 %, it is advisable to renew the solution layer
on the testing surface frequently during prolonged testing sessions if the relative humidity
of the surrounding air exceeds 32 %. The concentration of the glycerol needs to be
checked regularly, e.g. by measuring the refractive index.

D.2 CLASSIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENTS
D.2.1 For offshore units the environment classification is according to ISO 12944- Part 2.
D.2.2 Three regions are considered in offshore units:
a) Atmospheric zone: For offshore units, it means those structures situated above the water,
b) Splash zone: For offshore units, it means the structures that are alternately above and below the
water line. For fixed offshore units this means the region alternatively wet and dry due to tide and
waves. For mobile offshore units this means the boottop region.
c) Immersed zone: For offshore units, this means the regions that are underwater and not subjected to
wet and dry alternation.
D.2.3 For guidance only Table D.1 specifies the environment classification according ISO 12944-Part
2.
