11、ist, referred to hereafter as an Application Specialist. The qualification and certification process is a stepwise achievement process that includes all aspects of surface preparation and coating application for steel and concrete surfaces of complex industrial structures. The intended audience incl

12、udes persons involved in developing education and certification programs for the training and assessment of the skills and knowledge of an Application Specialist or assessing the training and certifica-tion programs available either on the open market or from an in-house source. The body of the stan

13、dard provides the requirements for qualification and certification of an Application Specialist. Appendix A (mandatory) defines the competency require-ments or the minimum “Body of Knowledge” for each qualifica-tion level that provides a basis to allow applicants to achieve qualification in a Certif

14、ied Application Specialist Program. Appendix A provides requirements for Section 5. Appendix B (mandatory) describes the level of cognition required for each qualification level. Appendix B provides required information for use with Appendix A when developing a learning skills program associated wit

15、h the Body of Knowl-edge in Appendix A.Appendix C (nonmandatory) provides information on desirable workplace skills (reading text, document use, and numeracy) that should be considered when attempting to both nurture and assess a candidates overall skills level. This standard could be used to valida

16、te or assess a candidates (e.g., an employee or potential employee) knowl-edge and skills level based on qualification in a certification program operated under this standard. One of the goals of this standard is to recognize and record in an outline format the minimum, overarching elements in the B

17、ody of Knowledge as these elements relate to a candidates cognitive levels of learning and skills.Government and industry are striving for long-term reli-ability of equipment and operations. Corrosion mitigation of steel and concrete structures by coatings and linings is germane to achieving that go

18、al. Coating application also combines corro-sion mitigation with aesthetic appeal in both the public and private sectors. The success of coatings and linings is heavily dependent on the qualifications of the Application Specialist. The study “Corrosion Costs and Preventive Strategies in the United S

19、tates”1identified an annual expenditure of $108.6 billion US on protective coatings and linings. As much as 71% of that annual expenditure may be affected by work performed by an Application Specialist. This standard is designed to qualify the Application Specialist through a broad range of classroo

20、m instruction and associated work experiences.This standard was developed by the joint Task Group (TG) 320 on Coating and Lining Applicator Qualification. TG 320 is administered by Specific Technology Group (STG) 04 on Coatings and Linings, Protective: Surface Preparation, and is composed of represe

21、ntatives from The Society for Protective Coatings (SSPC), NACE International, and the International Union of Paint and Allied Trades (IUPAT).(1)This standard is published under the auspices of SSPCs Coating Applicator Qualification Committee and NACE STG 04.In SSPC/NACE standards, the terms shall, m

22、ust, should, and may are used in accordance with Paragraph 2.2.1.8 of the Agreement Between SSPC: The Society for Protective Coatings and NACE International. The terms shall and must are used to state mandatory requirements. The term should is used to state something considered good and is recommend

23、ed but is not mandatory. The term may is used to state something considered optional. Section 1: general1.1 Scope1.1.1 This standard provides criteria for the education, training, experience, knowledge, and skills required by an Application Specialist to prepare and apply protective coat-ings to ste
