What's Expected of a Certified NACE Coaling Inspector?

摘要

During a panel discussion at the last NACE conference in Houston regarding any potential liability of coating inspectors with coatings projects resulting in failure, a surprising "owners" viewpoint of NACE Coatings Inspection emerged (the "owner" being defined as the person with overall responsibility for the asset or facility being painted). The "owner" expends an extensive effort to develop a concise and detailed specification for a painting project. This specification details the work to be performed by the painting contractor, where it is to be performed, and the expected results (with regards to the level of surface cleanliness, dry-film thicknesses, etc.). The contractual relationship between the painting contractor and the "owner" is relatively clear. The contractor promises the work will be performed as specified in exchange for a certain monetary compensation.
