Quality control (QC)

Quality control enforces procedures that ensure that a manufactured product or service meets the requirements of the client. Quality control is essential throughout every phase of surface preparation and coating. Our inspection equipment enables inspectors and control technicians to measure and  report technical aspects of a project and its conformance to project specification.

Inspection considerations

Like the project specifications, the coating inspector must make it their responsibility to have a good understanding of the safety data sheets and product data sheets of the specified product. Understanding these documents is vital to avoid any coating defects.
