SSPC PA Guide 5

This guide covers procedures for developing a maintenance coating program for steel structures. The guide may be used for one-time recoat programs or long-range recoat programs. The guide is intended for use primarily by owners' representatives. It is not intended to be a do-it-yourself guide, but is representative of the processes that a coating specialist, such as an SSPC Certified Protective Coatings Specialist (PCS), would follow to develop a maintenance coating plan for specific facilities.
