SSPC Pubs Revisions to 2 Standards
SSPC: The Society for Protective Coatings announced late last month that it has revised two technical standards.
Information on changes to SSPC-PA Guide 11, Protecting Edges, Crevices and Irregular Steel Surfaces by Stripe Coating, and SSPC-CPC 1/NACE SP21412, Corrosion Prevention and Control Planning, is now available online.
The Changes
The 2020 revisions to SSPC-PA Guide 11 add definitions to previously undefined terms and provides guidance for specifiers, including:

Revisions to SSPC-CPC 1/NACE SP21412 add two elements in the body of the standard and provide characteristics for each element in the appendix.
The standard now includes items such as:
SSPC notes that all standards are available for download on the SSPC website and mobile app.
