SSPC STANDARDS - Developement and Revision Projects Beginning in 2020

The following new projects and periodic reviews of existing SSPC standards are starting in 2020.
If you’re interested in getting involved, please email Aimée Beggs at beggs@sspc.org.

Current committee members should respond to upcoming Workspace canvasses to remain on committee rosters as voting members. These canvasses will be issued over the next several months.

Industry-wide participation is essential to the consensus process for developing and revising standards. TRAVEL IS NOT REQUIRED.

NEW PROJECTS:

C.2.22, Guide to Assessment of Adhesion Interference Materials:  The committee is assembling a guidance document for assessment of cleaned steel surfaces for materials not easily visible with the unaided eye which could affect adhesion of subsequently applied coatings.

C.2.23, Non-Profiling Dry Methods of Surface Preparation: This committee is developing a Technology Update describing three methods of surface cleaning that may reveal existing surface profile, but that do not create a surface profile suitable for mechanical adhesion of subsequently applied coatings. The three methods include carbon dioxide blast cleaning, atmospheric plasma cleaning and laser ablation.

C.7.3, Surface Preparation of Concrete: This committee completed development of a set of standards for surface preparation of concrete by dry abrasive blast cleaning in 2019 and will start work on a set of standards for surface preparation of concrete by waterjetting in 2020.

C.8.2, Commercial Coating Materials: This committee will develop a performance standard for thin-film coating materials for concrete substrates in commercial applications.
