Randomly select the two drums of coatings from each lot and test density, viscosity and hold-up . Record the values of all tests conducted. Collect the certificate for the viscosity, density, and hold- up tests from the coating manufacturer. Compare the test data on the certificate with the results you got when you tested at your end.

A method to consider is requesting certificates of compliance for each batch of coating produced. In the case of two-component products, this may require that the results for the combined products be reported. Such demands on the coating supplier should be discussed and agreed prior to the job start-up to ensure the specifier's objectives will be met.
