6.1 General

6.1.1 To ensure compliance with this Standard, the following should be carried out by qualified coating inspectors certified to NACE Coating Inspector Level 2, FROSIO Inspector level III or equivalent as verified by the Administration^footnote.

6.1.2 Coating inspectors should inspect surface preparation and coating application during the coating process by carrying out, as a minimum, those inspection items identified in section 6.2 to ensure compliance with this Standard. Emphasis should be placed on initiation of each stage of surface preparation and coatings application, as improper work is extremely difficult to correct later in the coating progress. Representative structural members should be non-destructively examined for coating thickness. The inspector should verify that appropriate collective measures have been carried out.

6.1.3 Results from the inspection should be recorded by the inspector and should be included in the CTF (refer to annex 2, Example of Daily Log and Non-conformity Report).
