Some owners have begun to require an individually certified coating inspector for projects, rather than a certified firm. Is this necessary?

Yes, inspectors should be individually certified.

As long as the firm is certified, the individual will be qualified enough.

No certification is needed, as long as the inspector is experienced.

Yes it is necessary.Just because a firm is Certified does not mean that the persons doing the work actually know what they are doing.Furthermore, I have met Persons that have been busy as a Painter or blaster for some 30 years,or doing inspection work learned on the job, and had no idea how to fill out a Survey report,make proper measurements or other tasks requierd from Certified Inspectors. In the end they costed thier companies more money than they earned.

I'm a bit puzzled by this - AFAIK, paint inspector certification was established practice long before firm certification came on the scene.

Does it make a difference? You can get an inspector with or without certification or a firm and still get a bad inspector. What needs to happen is the implementation of a system that monitors inspectors and has the ability to weed out the incompetent ones. The other requirement should be on the owner to specify training and experience levels of inspectors.
