Quality control and traceability

Application is not just a process, but a documented procedure. Work is managed as a measurable delivery file.

Reading of the dry film thickness gauge on the painted surface.
Every measurement is recorded; the delivery file consists of these records.

Integrated workflow

Ten steps, four critical quality gates. No further step is taken without approval at marked stops.

  1. 1. adım: Material Reception

    Incoming material is checked according to specifications.

  2. 2. adım: Pre-Cleaning

    Surface is cleared of dirt, oil, and foreign matter.

  3. 3. adım: Grit Blasting

    Surface roughness is achieved in accordance with standards.

  4. 4. adım: Surface Inspection

    Sa degree, profile, and surface condition are checked.

    Quality gate. Surface approval is given after grit blasting.

  5. 5. adım: Coating Preparation

    Ambient and surface conditions are measured, suitability is confirmed.

    Quality gate. Climate control is performed before coating.

  6. 6. adım: Airless Application

    Application is performed at the specified system and thickness.

  7. 7. adım: Intercoat Inspection

    Checked with DFT measurement after each layer.

    Quality gate. Layer DFT and recoat control are recorded.

  8. 8. adım: Drying and Curing

    The curing process is monitored according to product technical requirements.

  9. 9. adım: Final Quality

    All criteria are checked and approved.

    Quality gate. Final visual and total DFT acceptance is performed.

  10. 10. adım: Packaging and Shipment

    It is packaged appropriately and made ready for shipment.

Records are taken at marked stops and the next step is not taken without approval.

The final step has its own principles: packaging and shipment booklet describes packaging types, protection methods, and the shipment checklist.

Recorded Items

Measurement and approval records are kept in six stages. Records are linked to the work order and collected in the delivery file.

Controls recorded from material acceptance to shipment
Order Stage Recorded Items
01 Material Acceptance Identity, quantity, damage, surface condition
02 Pre-blasting Oil and grease, welding, edge, masking
03 After blasting Sa degree, profile, dust and visual inspection
04 Pre-paint climate Air and surface temperature, relative humidity, dew point
05 Application control Batch, mix, WFT, recoat, DFT
06 Final and dispatch Color, total DFT, NCR closure, report package

Each record is linked to its own part identity.

Records included in the delivery file

  • Blasting report
  • Climate form
  • Paint batch and mix record
  • WFT / DFT report
  • Final inspection
  • Dispatch file

ITP inspection points

Documents and measurements match at eight points. Thus, the work is managed not only as application but also as a measurable delivery file.

  1. 01

    Contract and specification

    PO, drawing, paint system, standard and report scope

  2. 02

    Material receiving

    Identity, quantity, damage, surface condition and stock registration

  3. 03

    Paint input control

    Product, batch, shelf life, TDS and SDS acceptance record

  4. 04

    Blasting control

    Blasting report with Sa degree, profile, dust and salt

  5. 05

    Climate control

    Air and surface temperature, relative humidity, dew point

  6. 06

    WFT and DFT

    Wet and dry film thickness records

  7. 07

    Final inspection

    Color, surface, defect, masking and special tests

  8. 08

    MDR and CoC

    NCR closure, document package and shipment release

Inspection point types

Inspection points can be rearranged with the following types according to the customer's ITP plan.

H Hold
No next step without approval
W Witness
Open to customer participation, does not stop delays
S Surveillance
Supervision throughout the process
R Review
Document review

Compare quality beyond price

True value lies not just in price, but in long-lasting protection provided by controlled processes, measurable results, and complete documentation.

When evaluating a blasting and painting quote, compare not only the price, but also the process control, measurement discipline, and delivery file.

Accurate comparison means safer projects and longer-lasting structures.

When comparing quotes, ask about

  • Surface preparation degree
  • Surface profile
  • Dust and salt control
  • Pre-paint climate conditions
  • Batch and mix records
  • WFT and DFT control
  • Intercoat recoat check
  • Final quality control
  • Traceability and reporting

Frequently asked questions

The most frequently asked questions during the quotation phase. If you cannot find what you are looking for, you can write directly.

Records are kept in six stages from goods receipt to dispatch: identification and surface condition, pre-blasting preparation, Sa degree and profile, pre-painting climate, application parameters with WFT and DFT, final inspection, and dispatch. Records are linked to the work order.

A hold point is a control point where the next step cannot be taken without approval. A witness point is open to customer participation, but the process does not stop if participation is not achieved. Surveillance is observation, and review is examination via documents. These types are arranged according to the customer's ITP plan.

The blasting report, climate form, paint batch and mixing record, WFT and DFT report, final inspection record, and dispatch file are collected in the delivery package. If required by the specification, MDR and CoC documents are also prepared.

ISO 2808 is used for the measurement method, and ISO 19840 is used for acceptance evaluation in steel structures. If the customer specification requests SSPC-PA 2, the measurement frequency is planned accordingly.

Identified non-conformities are recorded, corrective actions are defined, and their closure is documented. Dispatch is not released before the NCR closure.

Yes. Control points can be rearranged according to the customer's ITP plan. The plan, transmitted with the specification, is evaluated at the quotation stage, and the quality plan is established accordingly.

Let's establish your quality plan together

If hold and witness points, desired measurement frequency, and report scope are specified, the quality plan is established accordingly.

Example: ITP plan is attached, pull-off adhesion and total DFT report is requested.

  • Specification and drawing file can be attached
  • Unknown technical fields can be left blank
  • A reference number will be provided after submission
