1. Scope
This GP provides details of the coating systems to be applied in accordance with GIS 06-601 (Group
Instruction for Supply). Systems are specified for new construction and maintenance painting of the
externals of onshore and offshore plant and equipment and the internal lining of tanks. The systems
specified are based on those used previously and which have given good experience within BP.
In order to comply with health, safety, and environmental (HSE) regulations, it is

increasingly common to employ compliant coatings with reduced VOC (volatile
organic content) e.g. solvent based paints with high solids content (> 70%), and
water based paints. In certain regions of the world, the use of paints containing
isocyanates (e.g. single and two pack polyurethanes), coal tar filler (e.g. coal tar
epoxies and polyurethanes), and residual amounts of carbon tetrachloride
(chlorinated rubbers) may be prohibited due to concerns related to health and
safety.
If health and safety restrictions apply, compliant materials are recommended. The compliant material
shall have comparable performance to those prohibited, which are specified in this document.

a. The paint system(s) appropriate to each particular application, the required surface
preparation standard, and the coating thickness of each coat within the system are detailed
in Annexes A and B for new construction and Annexes A(M) and B(M) for maintenance.
Coating systems are specified for the external protection of a number of different metallic
substrates, in both a thermally insulated and uninsulated condition and operating over a
range of service temperatures.
