SSPC PA Guide 5-2022

This Guide covers procedures for developing a maintenance coating program for steel structures in atmospheric service. The Guide may be used for one-time recoat programs or long-range recoat programs. It includes specific steps that may be used, either individually or collectively, to identify and address essential elements of a maintenance coating program. Due to wide variations in procedures, a discussion of contracting methodologies and implementation schemes is outside the scope of this Guide.
