Understanding SSPC / AMPP QP Certification

SSPC/AMPP QP (Qualification Procedure) certifications are widely recognized in the industrial coatings and corrosion protection industry as marks of quality, competence, and adherence to best practices. These certifications, administered by the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP), formerly known as SSPC (The Society for Protective Coatings), are essential for contractors working on projects where corrosion protection and high-quality coatings are paramount.

The two most common certifications are AMPP QP 1, which focuses on field application of coatings to complex industrial and marine structures, and AMPP QP 3, which pertains to shop painting facilities. Obtaining these certifications demonstrates a contractor’s ability to deliver safe, high-quality work in compliance with project specifications and industry standards.

AMPP QP Standards: Setting the Bar for Coating Quality

QP 1: Field application of coatings for industrial and marine structures
QP 2: Removal of hazardous coatings in the field
QP 3: Shop application of coatings in a controlled environment
QP 5: Inspection of coatings and linings

QP 6: Application of thermal spray coatings (metallizing)
QP 7: Coating application for petroleum storage tanks
QP 8: Application of polymer coatings on concrete substrates
QP 9: Commercial painting of architectural structures
