Headings for technical information and specifications
The six most frequently referenced headings when writing specifications. Each leads to the relevant section in the standards index.
- ISO 12944 Corrosivity category and paint system selection
- ISO 8501-1 Sa 2, Sa 2½ and Sa 3 surface cleaning degrees
- ISO 8502 Dust, salt and surface cleanliness controls
- ISO 8503 Surface profile and roughness assessment
- ISO 19840 Dry film thickness measurement and acceptance criteria
- TDS / SDS Manufacturer application guides and safety data sheets
These headings are for informational purposes. The project is based on customer specifications, paint manufacturer recommendations, and approved technical documents.
How we apply these standards
We explain in detail on the following pages how the standards are reflected in projects.
- Applicable standards Which standard comes into play at which stage.
- Quality control and traceability Measurement points, record set, and delivery file.
- Technical specification How the scope is put in writing before the offer.
- ISO 12944 corrosion protection System selection according to C3, C4 and C5 conditions.
External links are for informational purposes. BER-GRİT does not represent these organizations, does not issue documents on their behalf, and does not declare itself an authorized applicator of the listed manufacturers. Current versions of standard texts should only be obtained from their source.
