SSPC PA-2
• For Structures not exceeding 300 sq ft, take 5 spot
readings per 100 sq ft.
• For Structures not exceeding 1000 sq ft, Select 3
random 100 sq ft areas to test.
• For Structures exceeding 1000 sq ft, Select 3 random
100 sq ft areas to test in the first 1000 sq ft and for
each additional 1000 sq ft test one random 100 sq ft
area.
• If any area is not in compliance, the non compliant
area should be determined.
