Significance and Use4.1 Quality assurance, as covered by this practice, com-prises all those planned and systematic actions necessary toprovide adequate confid
21、ence that safety-related coating work innuclear facilities as defined in Guide D 5144, will performsatisfactorily in service.4.2 It is not practical to impose all the requirements of thispractice on certain specific items that require only a smallquantity of coating material. The owner, consistent w
22、ith hisformal Quality Assurance Program, may accept affidavits ofcompliance or certification attesting to the quality of a shop orfield coating for such items. If required by licensing commit-ment; safety-related coatings that are not qualified or for whichthe quantification basis is indeterminate a
23、s defined in GuideD 5144, shall be identified, quantified, and documented.4.3 This practice may be incorporated in a project specifi-cation by direct reference or may be used to provide guidelinesfor the quality assurance program for coatings, on the basis ofthe owners requirements. Effective use of
24、 this practice mayalso require the incorporation of applicable sections in projectspecifications for coatings on concrete, steel, equipment, andother related items.5. General Quality Assurance Requirements5.1 This section defines the general quality assurance re-quirements necessary for compliance w
25、ith this practice. Theserequirements shall apply to all other sections of this practice.5.2 The owner or the owners designee shall be responsiblefor determining whether source inspection or a certificate ofcompliance attesting to the quality of coating work activity isrequired.5.3 The general qualit
26、y assurance requirements necessary tomeet the purpose of this practice provide an acceptable basisfor establishing a protective coating quality assurance program.All deviations from or exceptions to these requirements shallbe reviewed by and shall be subject to approval by the owneror his designee b
27、efore implementation. If unapproved devia-tions are discovered during any phase of the coating workactivity, a nonconformance report shall be completed either bythe owner, vendor, or owners designee. The owner or theowners designee shall approve the disposition of the noncon-formance report in accor
28、dance with the owners quality assur-ance program.NOTE 1Notification of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) isrequired by 10 CFR 21 for certain types of defects and noncompliances.5.4 Safety-related coating work shall be governed by pro-grammatic and procedural quality provisions that ensure that
29、the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B as defined aresatisfied. Guidance in this regard is available in ANSI N45.2and ASME NQA-1. Refer, also, to EPRI TR-109937.6. Control of Selection and Qualification of CoatingMaterials6.1 All qualifications of coating materials shall meet theapplicable standa
30、rds referenced in Guide D 5144 to the extentdefined by the owner or the owners designee in design criteria,safety analysis reports, quality assurance program, or othercontrolling documents.6.2 The coating manufacturer shall furnish recommendedsurface preparation and application procedures for each c
31、oatingsystem on each substrate as covered by the project specificationincluding previously coated surfaces as applicable. The coatingmanufacturer shall also furnish recommended storage condi-tions for each coating material specified.7. Control of Coating Manufacturing7.1 The coating manufacturer sha
32、ll maintain a QualityAssurance Program and shall provide adequate documentationto show that the quality of a given coating system as suppliedis the same composition as (within owner approved manufac-turing tolerances) the coating system previously tested forqualification. The coating system shall be
33、 requalified if thereare significant changes in formulation or end-product proper-ties. The manufacturer shall provide the owner or the ownersdesignee documentation based on the criteria stated in 7.1.1-7.1.5.7.1.1 The coating manufacturer shall provide the purchaserwith a product identity certifica
34、tion record for each batch ofcoating material shipped. As a minimum, the product identitycertification record shall contain the following information:7.1.1.1 Established acceptance criteria ranges and batchcharacteristics for weight per gallon and viscosity,7.1.1.2 Batch number,7.1.1.3 Date manufact
35、ured,7.1.1.4 Shelf life expiration date,7.1.1.5 Certification (signed by a responsible technical man-ager) that the product shipped is the same composition (withinowner-approved manufacturing tolerances) as the producttested for qualification.D 3843 00 (2008)27.1.2 Separate acceptance criteria may b
36、e established forevaluation at time of manufacture and for evaluation during theshelf life period, but these shall be separately identified.7.1.3 Data which is generic to the product and not batchspecific (for example, nonvolatile, cure time, pot life, etc.) shallbe furnished to the owner as request
37、ed, but need not beduplicated on each product identity certification record.7.1.4 Material which has exceeded shelf life may be re-evaluated by testing and the shelf life extended in writing bythe manufacturers technical department. Testing for extensionof shelf life shall be performed on an unopene
38、d containerremoved from the job site storage area, and not from a retainedlaboratory sample.7.1.5 The owner may elect to perform verification testing ofproducts received to ensure compliance with this practice.7.2 Each container shall be labeled with the product desig-nation. The label or container
39、shall bear a batch number orother factory marking, permanently affixed, showing the indi-vidual lot or batch designation. The date of manufacture, andthe shelf life expiration date shall appear separately on the labelor container.7.3 Retained batch samples from products furnished for theproject shal
40、l be kept by the manufacturer for the stated shelflife.8. Control of Surface Preparation of Substrates8.1 This section defines the quality assurance requirementsfor the surface preparation of bare substrates or of previouslycoated surfaces.8.2 The surface preparation of substrates or of previouslyco
41、ated surfaces shall conform to the requirements of the projectspecification. Treatment of nonqualified or noncompatibleconcrete primers/sealers and concrete form-release agents shallbe addressed.8.3 The project specification shall include inspection meth-ods to ensure the requirements of the specifi
42、cation are met.8.4 The coating applicator shall follow written surfacepreparation procedures addressing each substrate to be coatedincluding previously coated surfaces.8.5 The responsible organization shall report on surfacepreparation for each area of work, in accordance with approvedprocedures.9.
43、Control of Application of Coating Systems9.1 This section defines the quality-assurance requirementsnecessary to comply with this practice to ensure that theapplied coating system is basically the same as that which wastested for qualification.9.2 The coating applicator shall follow written owner ac
44、-cepted application procedures for applying each coating systemon each substrate and on each previously coated surface.9.3 All application personnel shall be qualified and theirqualification documented in accordance with the applicablequality assurance program. Practices D 4227 or D 4228 pro-vide gu
45、idelines.9.4 Receiving, storing, and dispensing of coating materialsshall be appropriately documented as per established require-ments.9.5 The responsible organization shall report on the appli-cation work for each area of work, in accordance withapproved procedures.10. Control of Coating Inspection
46、10.1 It is the responsibility of the owner as identified in 5.3to specify and verify control measures to assure that theinspection of the coating work is adequate to achieve therequired quality. Inspection hold points shall be established toensure in-process inspection results are adequate. The owne
