The area is exposed to ou
21、tdoor weather conditions and airborne contaminants. The site provides no controls of temperature, humidity, or ventilation in the blast or coating areas. Drying and curing of coated items takes place under ambient conditions. Coating storage areas have either fixed or portable heating or cooling equ
22、ipment. A method of control for this shop descriptor may be to suspend coating operations until conditions are acceptable.2. ScopeThis Standard describes requirements for certification of firms that apply complex painting systems as defined in this Standard. The requirements of this Standard are app
23、lied to the quality management system of a certified Firm independent of individual project requirement for Certification to this Standard. The coating quality management system of a Firm, not its products, is certified. Certification to this Stan-dard is neither an inspection nor an endorsement of
24、product, surface preparation, or coating application. The Standard includes all functions and responsibilities that apply to surface preparation and coating in a shop environment for new steel or for steel which has been previously coated and blast-cleaned and is free of hazardous paint (lead, etc.)
25、 when it arrives at the shop. The scope of this Standard does not include design, fabrication, manufacture, erection, surface preparation and application of coating in the field, metallizing or galvanizing, powder coating, anodizing, or compliance with safety (OSHA) and environmental (EPA) regulatio
26、ns. The re-painting (including surface preparation) of previously coated items returned to the Firms coating facility for rework is included in the scope of this Standard; however, removal of previously existing coatings is not included in the scope.1Certification to this Standard cannot be shared o
27、r trans-ferred to another company or facility without the written approval of AISC or SSPC. The Firm shall have the capa-bility to meet all the requirements of this Standard.3. ReferencesThe Firm shall have the reference documents and stan-dards necessary to provide personnel with the requirements o
28、f the work. The following references shall be readily avail-able to those who have coating program responsibilities. Firms shall possess the current edition of these references 1 Removal of previously existing coatings may fall under the scope of SSPC-QP 2.1. PurposeThe purpose of this Standard is t
29、o confirm to owners, the design community, and the construction industry that a Firm certified to this Standard has knowledgeable per-sonnel and the organization, experience, procedures, and equipment to provide surface preparation and application of complex painting systems in a shop facility in ac
30、cordance with contract specifications.Independent of the quality-focused purpose that is uni-formly applicable to all Firms certified to this Standard, Firms will be labeled with one of three shop descriptors to communicate the basic description of their facilities. Own-ers, the design community, an
31、d the construction industry requiring certification to this Standard may chose to use the shop description label as part of qualification criteria for shop painting facilities. The shop descriptors are defined descending inclusive but not ascending inclusive. For example, a Firm described as Enclose
32、d also meets the description for Covered and Open. A Firm described as Covered also meets the description for Open, but does not meet the description for Enclosed. Firms in any shop descriptor shall provide evidence of proper operating procedures and maintenance records of equipment, and evi-dence o
33、f proper coating storage and handling. All contract requirements shall be met, regardless of shop description. Specifiers who require certification to this Standard should evaluate the Firms capacity to complete a specific project independently.Enclosed Shop An enclosed shop is a facility, enclosure
34、 or build-ing (four continuous walls or partitions to grade or floor with a roof) at the firms location for certifica-tion where surface preparation, coating, curing, and coating storage are conducted in a controlled envi-ronment with fixed or portable ventilation systems. Ambient conditions such as
35、 temperature, humidity, dew point and airborne contaminants are controlled and maintained to meet contract requirements. The work environment is protected from adverse outdoor weather conditions and outdoor airborne contami-nants, so that the surface preparation, coating, and curing activities are n
36、ot jeopardized.Covered ShopA covered shop is located at a site at the firms loca-tion for certification with a roof but is not required to have walls, heating, or humidity control. Sur-face preparation, coating, and curing activities are performed under ambient conditions with fixed or portable vent
37、ilation systems. The structure provides limited protection from exposure to outdoor weather and airborne contaminants. Coating storage areas have either fixed or portable heating or cooling equipment. A method of control for this shop descrip-2 Certification Standard for Shop Application of Complex

Complex coating systems are defined, for the purpose of this standard, as those that require special care in surface preparation, coating component preparation, application control, curing, and in-proces
42、s inspection. These systems include materi-als such as zinc-rich, epoxy, and urethane coatings. These are typically multiple-coat systems, although only one or two coats of a multi-coat system may be shop-applied. Contract Documents.
