scope:

This procedure describes a method for evaluating the qualifications of a contractor who installs polymer coatings or surfacings on concrete and other cementitious surfaces, and defines a minimum standard for qualification. Examples of other cementitious surfaces are:

• Horizontal traffic-bearing concrete

• Non-traffic bearing concrete

• Cement masonry unit (CMU) construction

• Parged and cement plastered surfaces, including stucco

• Previously painted cementitious surfaces

The objective of this procedure is to determine if a polymer coating or surfacing contractor has the management procedures; technical knowledge; quality control procedures; personnel qualifications; and safety, health and environmental compliance programs to properly perform substrate evaluation, repair, and treatment; surface preparation; and installation of coatings and surfacings over concrete-based substrates while meeting the conditions and restrictions specified by the owner.

The procedure encompasses assessment of knowledge to perform polymer coating or surfacing installation on concrete or cementitious substrates in commercial, institutional, and industrial facilities and structures.

Meeting the requirements of this procedure does not guarantee the performance of applied materials, individual workers, or individual companies.
