Frequently asked questions
What does a coating inspection check?
Surface preparation, dry film thickness, coating application quality, and defects such as pinholes or damage.
Is coating inspection presented as class certification?
No. It is independent inspection support; class certification follows the classification society procedures separately.
Independent inspection work is presented as commercial inspection support and should not be read as a statutory, class or flag-administration function.
