Meeting industry standards for surface preparation isn’t just best practice—it’s often a contractual requirement. If your blast cleanliness or surface profile doesn’t match the coating manufacturer’s specifications, you risk adhesion failures, warranty issues, and costly rework. Our Compliance and Coating Specification Checker compares your planned blast profile, cleanliness level, and surface condition against common SSPC, NACE, and ISO standards, as well as coating data sheet requirements. Use it to confirm your process is on target before you start, avoid non-compliance penalties, and ensure long-term coating performance.

Compliance & Coating Specification Checker
Dark, readable selects even if your WordPress theme tries to force white fields.
Inputs
Choose SSPC/NACE or ISO Sa level.
Profile typically measured per ASTM D4417 or ISO 8503.
Sanity check compares profile to DFT; excessive profile vs. DFT can expose peaks.
Many immersion specs expect ≤ 5 µg/cm²; follow project limit.

Notes & References
• SSPC/NACE legacy designations commonly used; standards administered under AMPP.
• ISO 8501-1 (Sa) visual cleanliness levels are approximate equivalents to SSPC/NACE.
• Measure profile per ASTM D4417 or ISO 8503; measure DFT per SSPC-PA 2.
• Visual compliance requires inspection to reference comparators/photographic standards.
• This tool provides general guidance only. Always defer to the project specification and the coating manufacturer’s PDS.
