Description 
The General Painting Works Procedure is a comprehensive, ready-to-use procedure defining the methodology for painting and protective coating works on carbon steel and other steel surfaces exposed to atmospheric corrosion. It establishes clear technical requirements, responsibilities, and execution rules to ensure full compliance with project specifications, coating manufacturers’ instructions, and internationally recognized standards. The procedure covers the complete painting workflow, from surface preparation to final inspection, ensuring consistent and controlled coating quality across all projects. 

Key Benefits 

• Complete and structured standard for industrial and oil & gas painting works 
• Ensures compliance with international coating and corrosion protection standards 
• Reduces rework and non-conformities through clear QA/QC controls 
• Improves consistency, traceability, and quality of coating application 
• Ready to use, customizable, and suitable for EPC and maintenance projects 

File Content 

• Purpose and scope of painting and coating activities 
• Definitions, abbreviations, and technical terminology 
• Reference documents (ISO, ASTM, SSPC, NACE, BS, PQP, project procedures) 
• Roles and responsibilities (Site Manager, Coating Supervisor, QA/QC, HSE) 
• Surface preparation requirements (abrasive blasting Sa 2.5, cleaning, edge treatment, abrasives, environmental limits) 
• Coating application methodology (storage, mixing, application methods, curing, repairs) 
• Priming, mid-coat, and topcoat instructions with PPE and equipment requirements 
• Inspection and testing (surface cleanliness, environmental conditions, DFT per ASTM D1186) 
• Annexes: Painting Report and Painting System Template (These two forms are not included.) 

Use Case 
This procedure is intended for EPC contractors, QA/QC teams, coating inspectors, corrosion engineers, maintenance service providers, and industrial operators. It is used during engineering, construction, coating execution, inspection, and maintenance phases to standardize painting works, ensure regulatory compliance, and support client approval and audit processes in industrial and oil & gas environments.
