1、SSPC-QP 8July 1, 2003SSPC: The Society for Protective CoatingsQualification Procedure No. 8Standard Procedure for Evaluatingthe Qualifications of Contracting FirmsThat Install Polymer Coatings and Surfacingson Concrete and Other Cementitious Substrates11. Scope1.1 This procedure describes a method f

2、or evaluatingthe qualifications of a contractor who installs polymer coat-ings or surfacings on concrete and other cementitioussurfaces, and defines a minimum standard for qualification.Examples of other cementitious surfaces are: Horizontal traffic-bearing concrete Non-traffic bearing concrete Ceme

3、nt masonry unit (CMU) construction Parged and cement plastered surfaces, includingstuccoPreviously painted cementitious surfaces1.2 The objective of this procedure is to determine if apolymer coating or surfacing contractor has the managementprocedures; technical knowledge; quality control procedure

4、s;personnel qualifications; and safety, health and environmentalcompliance programs to properly perform substrate evalua-tion, repair, and treatment; surface preparation; and installa-tion of coatings and surfacings over concrete-based substrateswhile meeting the conditions and restrictions specifie

5、d by theowner.1.3 The procedure encompasses assessment of knowl-edge to perform polymer coating or surfacing installation onconcrete or cementitious substrates in commercial, institu-tional, and industrial facilities and structures.1.4 Meeting the requirements of this procedure doesnot guarantee the

6、 performance of applied materials, indi-vidual workers, or individual companies.2. Description2.1 DEFINITIONSContractor: An individual or firm who provides surface prepa-ration and concrete coating or surfacing installation services inthe industrial, institutional, and commercial markets.Auditor: 1)

7、 The person or persons who perform audits onbehalf of the auditing agency or qualifying agency. 2) Thebody possessing the necessary technical competence toreview contractor submittals, conduct on-site audits of appli-cants, and report results to the qualifying agency in compli-ance with the requirem

8、ents of this procedure and the writtenrequirements of the formal audit program.Qualifying Agency: The body responsible for development,maintenance, sponsorship, and operation of a program toensure uniform compliance with the provisions of this stan-dard procedure.Qualification: The procedure by whic

9、h written assurance isgiven that an applicant conforms to the prescribed set ofconditions or requirements of this standard procedure.Procedure: The sequence of steps taken to carry out aparticular course of action.Surfacing: A resinous floor coating with a film thicknessgreater than 20 mils (500 m).

10、 Thick film (greater than 20mils 500 m) systems, self-leveling systems, slurry sys-tems, broadcast systems, mortar systems, fabric-reinforcedSSPC-QP 8July 1, 20032systems, spray-applied systems, non-waterproofing mem-branes, and underlayment membranes are all consideredsurfacings.Planarity: The gene

11、ral evenness of a substrate in an in-tended dimension. Planarity must not be confused withlevelness. A sloped area, for example, is “in plane,” withoutlow or high spots, but is not level.Sloping Correction: 1) An adjustment applied to a dis-tance measured on a slope to reduce it to a horizontaldista

12、nce between the vertical lines through its end points.2)The process of installing a given pitch to a surface.2.2 FUNCTIONS TO BE EVALUATED: The procedureidentifies five function areas to be evaluated:Management procedures, Technical knowledge, Quality control procedures, Personnel qualifications, an

13、d Safety, health, and environmental compliance pro-grams, including proper handling and disposal ofhazardous waste.General requirements for each of these function areas arepresented in Section 4.2.3 EVALUATION PLANNING: The qualifying agencymust develop criteria and rating plans to evaluate eachcont

14、ractor against this standard, and to determine which ofthe specific critical items within the five function areas are tobe evaluated. The sequence of steps for conducting anevaluation is outlined in Section 5. All evaluations will beperformed by the auditor.3. References3.1 The latest issue, revisio

15、n, or amendment of thereferenced standards in effect at the time shall govern,unless otherwise specified.3.2 If there is a conflict between the requirements of anyof the cited reference standards and this qualification proce-dure, the requirements of this qualification procedure shallprevail.3.3 SSP
