ABSTRACT

This standard on corrosion prevention and control (CPC) planning is intended to support future CPC improvements to national acquisition and sustainment of products and facilities at an acceptable cost. It provides a standardized framework for a supplier's plan to control corrosion of supplied products and facilities. The standard is intended for use by public and private facility owners/acquisition agencies that require their suppliers to provide corrosion prevention and control procedures as a deliverable provided with the purchased products and facilities. The standard includes:

• Attributes of the supplied product or facility that require planning for CPC;

• Considerations for material selection and design of a product or facility to minimize corrosion;

• Items or topics that should be addressed in a CPC plan;

• Items or topics that should be addressed in CPC planning which affect CPC in design, fabrication and construction, operation and use, and maintenance and sustainability;

• Characteristics of the key elements of CPC planning;

• New in this revision-Approaches to CPC assessment.
