Definitions
General: For the purposes of this worksection the definitions given in AS/NZS 2310 and those belowapply.
-
Coating contractor: The protective coatings application contractor conducting the on or off sitecoating application works.
-
Coating manufacturer:
Dulux Protective Coatings.
 
-
ITP: A series of formal Inspection and Test Plans, prepared by the coating contractor to reflect thespecific inspection and testing that will be carried out on the surface preparation, coating applicationand the record keeping tasks to be undertaken.
-
MSDS: The formal Material Safety Data Sheet, prepared in accordance with Worksafe Australia’srequirements and distributed by the coating manufacturer to provide information on the safehandling, storage, personal protective equipment requirements, use and disposal of a coatingproduct.
1.5 QUALITY ASSURANCEGeneral
Standard: Applicator Quality Assurance system to AS/NZS ISO 9001.

Applicator’s quality assurance officer: Nominate a qualified NACE Certified Coating Inspector or aACA Certified Coatings Technician under direction of a NACE inspector.Records: Maintain records:
-
Access: Have records available for inspection.Verification: Nominate an independent NACE Certified Coating Inspector to carry out quality audits.Defects: Provide written inspector reports.
1.6 INSPECTIONNotice
Inspection: Give notice so that inspection may be made of the following:
-
Items after fabrication prior to commencing surface cleaning and preparation.
-
Surfaces after preparation prior to application of first coating.
-
Coating stages:
.
After application of primer or seal coats.
.
After application of each subsequent coat.
1.7 SUBMISSIONSLicence
Requirement: Submit proof of currency of the applicator’s licences.
Detailing of structural steelwork
General: If design and fabrication features of the items to be coated may lead to difficulties, adviseprior to commencing surface preparation.
Quality
ITPs: Submit for each proposed coating system.Quality supervisor: Submit the name and the experience record of the person nominated to overseethe implementation of the ITPs.
Removal of deleterious materials
General: Submit advice on suitability of marking paints, and removal of materials deleterious tocoating processes such as grease, oil and paint.
Repair of coating damage
General: If the protective coating is damaged, submit a repair coating proposal that will ensure that thefull corrosion protection ability of the system is reinstated.Final coat reinstatement: If required due to variance, submit proposals for reinstatement of the visiblefinal coating system to match the original coating system samples.Repair: TheDulux Protective CoatingsProduct Data Sheet and specification covers repair and re-coating instructions which return the coating to a uniform film. Repairs follow the specification forsurface preparation, application, sequencing, finish and dry film thickness. As a minimum, damagedcoating is abraded back by hand sanding, mechanical grinding with abrasive discs or be abrasive spotand brush blast cleaned as necessary, depending on the surface area to be repaired.Preparation: ‘Feather back’ by hand or machine sanding all leading edges of intact coating adjacent tothe repair, to remove any sharp edge.Surface contamination: Remove by dusting or blowing down before applying the first coat of paint.Sequence: Apply the repair coating in the same sequence and manner as the original coating.
Records
General: Prepare and maintain records of all surface preparation and coating application works asfollows:
-
Standard: To AS 3894 Parts 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14.
-
Reference the relevant parts of the ITPs, and record conformance.
Maintenance paint coating systems
Existing systems: Itemise areas of corrosion, damage, and other degradation.Recoating systems: Supply coating systems for maintenance painting of previously coated items andstructural elements, including surface preparation, from the appropriate selection from
Protectivepaint coating systems
.

Warranties
General: Provide warranties for the period to the first scheduled maintenance.Period to the first scheduled maintenance: [complete/delete]
1.8 SAMPLESPainting and coating colour
General: Submit a sample of the finished product for each different coating system.Size of each sample: 400 x 400 mm.Retention: Retain half of each sample for comparison during coating application.
1.9 TESTINGGeneral
Conformance: All areas of any item must meet the required cleanliness standard.
Abrasive blast cleaning
Assessment: To AS 1627.4 and ISO 8501-1, or NACE Visual Standard TM-01-07/SSPC-VISI.
-
Class 2.5.
Power tool cleaning
Assessment: To AS 1627.2 and ISO 8501-2.
-
Class 2.
Hand tool cleaning
Visual assessment: To ISO 8501-2.
-
Class 1.
Surface profile
General: To AS 3894.5.Profile grade: To AS/NZS 3894.5 Method A.
Surface dust from abrasion:
General: To AS/NZS 3894.6 Method C.Rating criteria for rejection of surface treatment: [complete/delete].
Chloride level testing
Test: To AS 3894.6 Method A.Maximum allowable chloride level: 50 mg/m
2
.Conformance: If this level is exceeded, rewash the affected surface area using fresh water until thechloride level is within acceptable limits. Pressure washing or steam cleaning is also acceptable priorto re-testing and re-abrasive blasting.Timing of testing: Early in the blasting work so that removal procedures can be initiated before theblasting is completed.
Wet film thickness
Method of measurement: To AS 3894.3, Appendix C using an approved wet film gauge continuouslyduring application.
Dry film thickness
Method of measurement: To AS 3894.3, clause 10.Extent: All surfaces at the completion of each of the prime, intermediate and finish coats and inparticular include areas of the structure which are difficult to paint, are masked by structure, or areaswhere double coating or light coating is likely due to the shape of the substrate.Number of measurements: Perform a sufficient number of readings to ensure a representative accountfor the DFT compliance of the coated areas tested.Deduction: If testing the DFT of coatings 150 µm and less, deduct the effect of the measured surfaceprofile from all DFT readings.Single readings: Single reading requirements are as follows:
-
The average of 5 point readings for each 10 m
2
area of coating surface should not be outside thespecified coating thickness range.
