APPLICATOR AGREEMENT

APPENDIX 2

THIS APPLICATOR AGREEMENT is made the

day of

and

between INTERNATIONAL PAINT LTD (registered number 63604) whose registered office is
at PO Box 20980, Oriel House, 16 Connaught Place, London W2 2ZB (the "Company") and

(the

"Applicator")

WHEREAS IT IS AGREED as follows:

1. Appointment

(a)

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby appoints Applicator as
an "Applicator" of the products set out in Schedule A (the “Products”).

(b)

Upon completion of one application of the Products to the satisfaction of the
Company and the Applicator's customer, the Applicator shall be designated a
"Qualified Applicator" of Products. The Applicator is required to confirm to the
Company on an annual basis and at any other time at the Company's request that it
remains in compliance with the requirements of Clause 3 in order to remain a
Qualified Applicator. Notwithstanding, the above, the Applicator's designation as
Qualified Applicator may be terminated by the Company at any time and shall
automatically terminate upon termination or expiry of this Agreement.

Purchase of Products by Applicator

(a)

The Applicator shall purchase Products from the Company, subject to acceptance of
orders by the Company

and the terms of this Agreement, at the prices established by

the Company that are in effect on the date of shipment or as previously quoted in a
written quotation from the Company. The Company’s Conditions of Sale in force
from time to time will apply to this Agreement and to all sales made to the
Applicator pursuant to it except where inconsistent with the terms of this
Agreement, in which case the latter will prevail.

(b)

Notwithstanding Clause 2(a), the Company, in its sole discretion and without any

liability to the Applicator or to any other party, may refuse to fulfill any order
accepted for one or more of the following reasons

(i)

the Applicator has failed to pay any invoice in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement;

(ii)

the Company has reason to believe the Products will be used in an
application for which the Company believes they are unsuitable or will be
applied in a manner which is contrary to the Company’s requirements;

June 2000

- 2 -

(iii)

the Applicator has failed to remain in compliance with the requirements of
Clause 3;

(iv)

legal restrictions prevent the Company from fulfilling an order.

(b)

The Company may elect to discontinue Products or to make changes to Products
without incurring any liability to the Applicator. The Company will endeavour to
advise the Applicator with as much notice as possible of such discontinuation or
changes.

(c)

For the avoidance of doubt, the Applicator is appointed on a non-exclusive basis and
the Company may appoint other applicators and may sell Products to them or any
other party.

Duties of the Applicator

(a)

The Applicator shall at all times during this Agreement comply with all of the
Company's requirements of Qualified Applicators, which may be revised from time
to time by the Company and which currently include, but are not limited to, the
following:

(i)

all applications of Products must be carried out in accordance with the
then current edition of the Company's product application guide as
supplied from time to time by the Company or other procedures approved
in writing by the Company;

(ii)

all applications of Products must be performed or directly supervised by
properly qualified employees of the Applicator who have attended a
International Paint Ltd applicator training school (“Training School”)

;

(iii)

the Applicator must use application equipment approved by the Company;

(iv)

the Applicator shall comply with all applicable laws, regulations and
safety requirements; and

(v)

the Applicator shall maintain and adhere to the procedures of a quality
control manual consistent with the Company’s requirements for the
application of the Products. The Applicator shall also maintain a quality
assurance manual and shall adhere to the policies and procedures therein.

Because it is recognised that certain markets and/or clients have special
quality assurance requirements the Company, at its sole discretion, may
require that the Applicator’s quality control manuals and practices be in
conformance with an appropriate International Standards Organisation
(ISO) standard or an equivalent national standard.

June 2000

- 3 -

(b)

The Applicator recognises that the proper application of Products is essential to their
effectiveness and safety and, to help ensure such proper application, agrees to not
sell Products to third parties without the written approval from the Company unless
the Applicator reasonably believes that such Products will be applied only by the
Applicator or another applicator appointed by the Company as a Qualified
Applicator of Products.

(c)

The Applicator shall allow the Company's field service representatives to inspect
any application job being performed by the Applicator and shall use its best
endeavours to enable such field service representatives to gain access to the
premises of the Applicator’s customers to perform such inspections. The Company
shall have no liability for any advice or assistance given or omitted to be given by
its field service representatives in the course of any such inspection.

4. Warranty

The Company warrants (the “Warranty") that upon delivery Products are sold with good
title, are made with sound materials and workmanship, comply with Company's then
current published product data sheets and shall comply with any specification supplied by
the Company.

Limitation of Liability

5.1

The Company shall not be liable under Clause 4 unless the Applicator satisfies the
Company that it strictly complied with any instructions of the Company relating to the
Products.

5.2

The Applicator shall examine the Products as soon as reasonably practicable after delivery.
The Applicator shall then immediately notify the Company of any incomplete or failed
delivery, loss or damage during carriage, shortage of weight or quantity or if the Products
fail to comply with the Warranty and shall, in the case of damaged Products, be entitled to
notify the Company that it rejects all or any part of the Products in that delivery. Unless
the Applicator so notifies the Seller within 30 days after the date when the Applicator
became or ought reasonably to have become aware of any of the above, the Applicator
shall be treated as having waived all claims connected with the matter which should have
been notified. Where notification is so made no action whatsoever may be brought against
the Company in connection with the Products unless proceedings are issued against the
Company within two years after the Applicator became or ought to have become aware of
the circumstances giving rise thereto.

5.3

Provided notification is made within the above 30 days period, if it is shown to the
Company's reasonable satisfaction that Products fail materially to comply with the
Warranty, the Company shall be given a reasonable opportunity to correct such failure. If
the failure is not corrected, the Company will, at the Applicator's option, either refund the

June 2000

- 4 -

purchase price (or, if the Products have depreciated for reasons other than the Company's
default or been used or put in process, a reasonable part of the purchase price) or replace
part or the whole of the Products (if reasonably practicable) within a reasonable time, free
of charge. Such correction, refund or replacement shall, subject to Clause 5.6, be the
Company's sole liability in relation to any such failure.

5.4

Products which are alleged not to comply with the Warranty shall, as far as possible, be
preserved for the Company's inspection and shall be returned to the Company (at the
Company's cost) if the Company reasonably so requests. The Applicator shall be deemed
to have waived its rights in respect thereof unless, wherever possible, it has given the
Company reasonable opportunity to inspect such Products.

5.5

The Company shall not be liable in any way whatsoever for:

(a)

the incompatibility of any Products supplied by the Company with the products of
other manufacturers or suppliers;

(b)

inadequate or incorrect surface preparation or coating application work carried out
by, or the faulty equipment or product of, the Applicator or any third party;

(c)

any representations, advice or assistance given or omitted to be given in connection
with Products; or

(d)

the supervision or quality control (or lack thereof) by or on behalf of any third party.

5.6

(a)

The Company does not exclude or restrict any liability which cannot be excluded or
restricted as between the Company and the Applicator, including in respect of the
Applicator who deals as a consumer, as a matter of law under any United Kingdom
legislation.

(b)

The Applicator shall promptly notify the Company of any claim against the
Applicator under any legislation deriving from the European Community Directive
on Liability for Defective Products 1985. The Company then shall only be liable to
the Applicator in the event Products were defective (within the meaning of any such
relevant legislation) at the time of delivery by the Company and shall not be liable
to the extent that any liability arises from any act or omission of the Applicator.

5.7

Without prejudice to any other limitation of the Company's liability (whether effective or
not):

(a)

in no circumstances whatsoever (including any fault or default of the Company)
shall the Company be liable for any indirect or consequential losses (including loss
of goodwill, business or anticipated savings), loss of profits or use, any rectification

June 2000

- 5 -

costs or, (subject to Clause 5.6 or as provided in the Company’s Conditions of Sale),
any third party claims, in connection with Products or this Agreement; and

(b)

except as provided under Clauses 5.3 and 5.6 or in the Company’s Conditions of
Sale in force from time to time, the Company's total aggregate liability under any
proceedings or law in connection with Products, any specification or this Agreement
is limited to the cost of Products sold, provided however that this Clause shall not
affect any written performance guarantee given to the Applicator.

5.8

The Warranty and the Applicator's remedies under Clause 5 are in substitution for

any other warranties, obligations, representations, liabilities, terms or conditions
(whether they are express or implied or arise in contract, tort, or otherwise) in
connection with Products (including, without limitation, any relating to satisfactory
quality, fitness for purpose, conformity with description or sample, care and skill or
compliance with representations) which are hereby expressly excluded.

5.9

Unless specifically stated otherwise in this Agreement, the Applicator's sole remedy

shall be in damages. This Clause 5 applies notwithstanding any fundamental breach
or breach of a fundamental term of the contract by the Company.

5.10

The Applicator shall indemnify the Company against any claims or proceedings
made by any third party and all losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses
which may be suffered or incurred by the Company arising from any act or omission
of the Applicator.

Trade Marks and Trade Names

(a)

Subject to the Applicator being designated Qualified Applicator pursuant to Clause
1(b) the Company authorises the Applicator to identify itself as a Qualified
Applicator and to use the marks listed in Schedule B (the "Trade Marks") in
connection with, and only in connection with, the promotion, advertising,
merchandising and selling of Products pursuant to this Agreement. The Applicator
shall not use the Trade Marks or the names "International Paint Ltd" or "Chartek" in
its corporate or business name. Use by the Applicator of the Trade Marks shall at
all times be subject to the Company's approval.

(b)

Upon termination or expiry of this Agreement the authorisation granted to the
Applicator pursuant to Clause 6(a) shall automatically terminate and Applicator

immediately cease referring to itself as [an Applicator] or Qualified Applicator of
Products.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This Manual describes the quality control activities required by International Paint
Ltd. for the application of Chartek fireproofing systems and may be used by
applicators as a guideline on which to base their own quality control procedure.

The manual also includes recommendations for site organisation with descriptions
of relevant key roles and responsibilities. The personnel described are appointed
and employed by the Client or his appointed sub-contractor and not International
Paint Ltd. These are intended as guidelines and are based on our experience of
successful project organisation. Actual site organisation must be defined by those
parties with contractual project authority and responsibilities.

Both fire protection performance and pre-fire durability critically depend on the
correct application of the fireproofing system. The scope of the present Quality
Control Manual is to define the minimum control activities required to verify that the
work is carried out in accordance with the Chartek Application Manual, which should
be referred to for full application instructions.

When required contractually, parts or all of the Quality Control Manual can be

considered an integral part of the project documentation.

requirement of the ISO 9002 quality system standard and International Paint’s
Technical Service Audit Programme.

4.0 OPERATING

PROCEDURES

4.1

Scope of work
The process of Chartek fireproofing application consists of but is not limited to:
surface preparation (normally and ideally by abrasive blast cleaning); priming with
an approved paint product; installation of mesh reinforcement (either International
Paint’s patented HK-1

hybrid carbon/glass mesh or galvanised wire mesh);

masking where necessary; spraying, trowelling and rolling of Chartek; topcoating if
required and demasking.

Two processes of spray application can be used. For all medium to large scale jobs
(i.e. greater than 100m

surface area) the recommended process is spraying

Chartek with solventless, plural component airless equipment. For smaller
applications premix solvented application with either single leg airless or modified
conventional airspray equipment may be used. In all cases, the equipment must be
qualified by International Paint Ltd.

4.2 Sample

preparation

Prior to the start up of actual production work an approved sample or a sample area
will be coated with Chartek in accordance with the project specifications. This
sample should be representative of the work to be carried out throughout the
project.

The sample or sample area will then be approved and signed off by the owner’s
representative, applicator’s representative, fabricator’s representative, International
Paint’s Technical Service Engineer and any other party as required by the contract
for the quality of surface finish and conformance with the relevant procedures and
specifications.

4.3 Work

start-up

The Project Manager and Supervisor will obtain a release document from the
owner’s representative for a given area of the structure to start work on.

4.4 Environmental

conditions

Environmental conditions are very important for every aspect of the Chartek
application system. Since Chartek is an epoxy-based material strict adherence to
environmental parameters is required to obtain optimum performance and
application conditions.

ID Rev.

Date

QC MAN GB

30/01/06

Chartek

QC Manual

Page 13 of 14

Environmental conditions for blasting and priming must be in accordance with the
primer manufacturer’s written instructions. Environmental conditions for the Chartek
system application are outlined in the respective sections of the Application
Manuals for each process. These conditions should be recorded on an hourly basis
since conditions can vary considerably depending on location. Record daily
environmental conditions in the form provided in Appendix B.

4.5 Pin

installation

When applicable (for example for NORSOK referenced projects), pin installation
shall be carried out in accordance with the procedure described in the Chartek
Application Manual.

A 20-pin bend test shall be carried out and documented daily before production
begins. The 20 pins shall be bent from 90º to 45º and back with respect to the
surface plane. If more than one pin fails, the test will be considered a failure and
another 20 pins shall be welded using different machine settings and tested. If the
second test fails, advice should be sought from the welder manufacturer or an
International Paint Ltd, Technical Service Engineer. Pins that have not failed in the
failed test do not have to be removed. Once a successful test has been carried out
and documented production pinning can begin. If the welding equipment is
modified during the day an additional test may be required to verify that the settings
are still valid.

4.6 Substrate

preparation

Substrate preparation shall be carried out in accordance with the procedures
described in the Chartek Application Manual.

The cleaning grade (for example, Sa 2 ½ according to ISO 8501-1) and blast profile
shall be documented and accepted prior to priming as per Appendices A and B.

If the Chartek applicator does not actually perform the blasting and priming, the
applicator is responsible for verifying the conformance of surface preparation and
primer with the Chartek Application Manual requirements by means of either
suitable QC documentation or first hand testing and inspection.

4.7 Priming

procedure

Priming of the substrate shall be carried out in accordance with the procedures
described in the Chartek Application Manual.

Only primers on the “Chartek Fireproofing Qualified Primer Systems” list may be
used, unless written authorisation from International Paint is obtained for another
primer system.

Documentation for the primer system shall consist of primer name, type and applied
thickness on a daily basis as per Appendices B and C.

4.8 Meshing

Mesh reinforcement shall be installed in accordance with the procedures described
in the relevant Chartek Application Manual.

Documentation of the mesh system used shall include mesh type, size, attachment
means and standoffs (not applicable for HK-1

hybrid carbon/glass mesh).

4.9 Masking

Any surfaces or equipment in the spraying areas that do not require fireproofing
must be masked off using tarpaulins or equivalent.

Regardless of the structural configuration being protected, overspray is always a
concern. Quality control includes the aesthetics of the finish and protection of areas
outside the termination points of the applied Chartek.

4.10 Storage

conditions

Chartek storage conditions are outlined in the Application Manual, which contains
instructions for long-term storage, preparation storage for premix solvented and
plural component solventless spray application.

The storage requirements are specifically designed to optimise material
performance and ease of application.

Daily temperature recordings shall be documented for each applicable storage site
and should include both ambient and actual core sample temperatures as per
Appendix B.

4.11 Solvented

application

Solvented application shall be carried out in accordance with the procedures
outlined in the Chartek Application Manual.

Documentation shall include but not be limited to: environmental conditions;
equipment type; material temperature; solvent type and amount; coating thickness;
location of area sprayed; material batch numbers (all as per Appendices A, B and
C).

4.12 Solventless

application

Solventless application shall be carried out in accordance with the procedures
outlined in the Chartek Application Manual.

Documentation shall include but not be limited to: environmental conditions;
equipment type; material temperatures; tank temperatures; heater temperatures;
line temperature; gun exit temperature; spray pressures for each component;
coating thickness; location of area sprayed; material batch numbers (all as per
Appendices A, B and C).

With solventless hot spray equipment, mixing of the two components is
automatically achieved at the correct ratio by the displacement pumps.
Furthermore, solventless spraying reduces curing times and improves the overall
efficiency and quality of the Chartek application. For these reasons, International
Paint strongly recommends the use of this type of equipment. Although most
machines incorporate off-ratio detection devices, actual ratio checks by weight
should be taken before start-up of spraying.

Reference should be made to the ratio parameters included in the relevant Chartek
Application Manual. In addition to the ratio checks by weight, constant checking of
the displacement pump pressure gauges and the colour of the mixed Chartek
should be carried out by the sprayer and machine operator respectively. Ratio
checks should be made at the commencement of each work shift or more frequently
as demanded by the project application schedule.

4.13 Coating

thickness

The correct measurement of the fireproofing system thickness is critical to
guaranteeing conformance with the project specification and the following criteria
should be strictly adhered to.

A. Method for measuring wet Chartek thickness
The recommended method of measuring wet thickness is to use a pre-cut bridge
gauge having a width of approximately 25mm (typically made from a putty knife).
Notch or pin gauges are not acceptable because they limit the measurement to one
point. The gauge should just touch the rolled Chartek surface. We strongly
recommend the continuous use of the bridge gauge by all members of the
application team from the sprayer to the troweller to the roller. In this way you can
be assured of reaching the design thickness over the whole surface.

B. Method of measuring dry Chartek thickness
Dry thickness can be measured by either of the following methods:
¾ drilling a small hole approximately 2mm in diameter and checking the Chartek

thickness with a depth gauge (care must be taken not to damage the substrate
and to refill the holes with Chartek as soon as possible);

using an electromagnetic thickness gauge (care must be taken to correctly
calibrate the gauge immediately before taking any readings). This method
cannot be used if the Chartek is reinforced with wire mesh.

NB: Chartek fireproofing ratings that are certified by Approval Authorities generally
require that the specified passive fireproofing thickness is to be the minimum
application thickness. It is recognized, however, that the applied Chartek layer will
never be perfectly even and that areas of lower than design thickness (“valleys”) are
compensated by areas of higher than design thickness (“peaks”). Unless specifically
stated otherwise in the project documentation, the minimum acceptable thickness at
any point shall not be less than 85% of the design thickness up to a maximum of

ID Rev.

Date

QC MAN GB

30/01/06

Chartek

QC Manual

Page 13 of 14

1.5mm less than the design thickness. In other words, for thicknesses up to and
including 10mm the minimum allowable thickness is 85% of the design thickness.
For thicknesses above 10mm the minimum allowable thickness is the design
thickness less 1.5mm.

Thickness readings should be accurately recorded as per Appendices A and B.

4.14 Surface

finish

The quality of surface finish should be agreed on by all the parties involved before
project start-up. Surface finish throughout the project is rated as acceptable or
unacceptable as compared to the sample reference.

Although surface finish may not hinder the fire performance of Chartek

it leaves a

lasting impression of the quality of both material and applicator. The highest quality
goes into Chartek from manufacturing to application in accordance with ISO 9000
standards. Therefore, reasonable care should be taken to achieve the highest
standard possible and due consideration given to specific requirements stated in
project documentation.

4.15 Final

inspection

After all QC documentation is submitted, final inspection will be carried out by the
owner’s representative, applicator’s representative, fabricator’s representative,
International Paint’s Technical Service Engineer and any other party as required by
the contract. Areas will then be signed off for acceptance or repairs noted and
carried out as per Appendices A and B.

A 100% visual inspection should be performed to ensure there is no exposed mesh,
debonding at terminations or bubbles below the surface layer of Chartek.

Physical inspection consists of measurement of dry film thickness of the Chartek
system and tapping to detect possible hollow areas or delamination between
sprayed layers of Chartek not easily visible.

4.16 Repair

procedure

Repair procedures are described in the Chartek Application Manual.

The same tests and inspections described above and summarised in the
Appendices A, B and C apply equally to repair applications.

For unusual repair situations contact International Paint Technical Service for
written instructions.

INSPECTION EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS

5.1

Wet film thickness (bridge gauge)
A bridge gauge is used to check wet Chartek thickness during application. It is
easily made by cutting a 25mm wide piece of metal to the desired thickness and
continually sticking it into the Chartek while wet. The gauge should be used by all
members of the application team (sprayer, troweller and roller).

5.2

Dry film thickness (mechanical depth micrometer)
A mechanical depth micrometer is required to inspect cured Chartek for thickness
measurements. It is recommended that a gauge with a narrow barrel is utilised with
a range from 0–100mm.

5.3

Dry film thickness (electronic thickness gauge)
This type of gauge is used to measure the thickness of dry coatings on steel
substrates. It can be used to measure both the primer and Chartek dry film
thickness (but not if metal mesh is used as the reinforcement system as this will
give erroneous readings with the electro-magnetic type gauge). Care should be
taken to calibrate the instrument on a polished steel plate with calibrated shims of
similar thickness to the coating to be measured before each use.

5.4

Substrate temperature (surface thermometer)
A thermometer should be used to measure the surface temperature of the substrate
immediately before Chartek is applied. It should be calibrated to the manufacturer’s
specification and should have a range of 0-100ºC.

5.5

Ambient conditions (sling psychrometer, hygrometer, air thermometer)
Reliable intrumentation should be used to record air temperature and relative
humidity. We recommend the use of a sling psychrometer as it is a simple but
reliable and robust instrument. It consists of two thermometers in a frame one of
which has a wet bulb and the other a dry bulb. The wet bulb gauze draws
demineralised water during whirling and the temperature of the evaporating water is
read off the wet bulb thermometer scale. The dry bulb measures air temperature.
Whirling should continue for at least 60 seconds before first readings are taken.
Acceptable readings are those taken at 20-30 second intervals after the first check.
The wet and dry readings are then read off a circular or slide rule guide to give the
relative humidity value. The dew point temperature can then be calculated in
relation to air temperature and relative humidity.

Environmental parameters are described in the Chartek Application Manual but as a
general rule the air temperature should always be above 10ºC, relative humidity
should be less than 85% and the substrate temperature should be at least 3ºC
above the dew point temperature during application and for a period of 2 hours after
application.

5.6

Chartek temperature (digital thermometer/bi-metal thermometer)
These thermometers are used to record Chartek temperatures during storage and
application. They should be calibrated to the manufacturer’s specification.
Recommended Chartek temperatures are detailed in the Application Manual.

6.0

TECHNICAL SERVICE AUDITS
In addition to the forms and records produced by the qualified applicator, copies of
the International Paint Technical Service Audit Report and Non-Conformance
Report (if raised) shall also be maintained. These reports will be supplied by an
International Paint Technical Service Engineer.

The Technical Service Engineer and the applicator’s QA/QC representative will sign
each report generated. Copies of reports will be distributed by the Technical Service
Engineer to the applicator’s QA/QC representative on site and the owner’s
representative at the end of each Technical Service Engineer’s visit. Additional
copies will be distributed to respective agencies as required by the project
specifications.

The maintenance of these records is important in that a history of audits is
documented for each project. Follow-up audits may require reference to verify that
requested remedial action has been successfully completed, or situations may arise
where past audut history requires review.

COMPLETION OF THE TECHNICAL SERVICE AUDIT REPORT

The Technical Service Audit Report is a site-generated report prepared by an International
Technical Service Engineer. It serves one or more of the following purposes:

1. To demonstrate that International monitors on an ongoing basis the application of Chartek

fireproofing and, where appropriate, to meet contractual requirements for such monitoring
activity.

2. To record specific details regarding Chartek fireproofing projects.

3. To generate a database for non-mandatory procedures and processes.

4. To record application details that were found to be in conformance with project and/or

International requirements during the audit by the International Technical Service Engineer.

5. To identify non-conformances with project and/or International recommended procedures

and requirements.

6. To measure the level of quality control utilised by Applicators.

PROCEDURE

A major responsibility of International Technical Service Engineers is to monitor the application
of Chartek fireproofing. On a visit to an application site, the Technical Service Engineer will
audit procedures/practices used prior to his visit to ensure conformance with project and/or
International recommended procedures and requirements. These steps may include, but are
not limited to, core drilling of previously applied Chartek to check for thickness, the presence of
uncured material, contaminated interfaces between Chartek layers, the required and proper
installation of mesh, availability of inspection/application logs, primer thickness requirements,
and other steps.

Though the bulk of his time at a site will be spent with Applicator personnel, upon arrival, the
International Technical Service Engineer will advise the Constructor’s/Fabricator’s
representative and the Client representative that he is present, how long he expects to be on
site, and the purpose of his visit. He will also indicate that before leaving he will complete a
Technical Service Audit Report and that a copy would be available for both the
Constructor/Fabricator and the Client. If either, or both, decline to receive copies, the
International Technical Service Engineer will so indicate on the report.

Prior to departure from the site, the International Technical Service Engineer will provide a copy
of the completed and signed-off Audit Report to the Applicator’s site and Quality Control
Supervisors, as well as the Constructor’s/Fabricator’s and Client’s representatives, as required.
Distribution to other recipients will be made as soon as conveniently possible, but no later than
five days from departure from the site.

CLASS II DISCREPANCIES

DESCRIPTION

Class II discrepancies are deviations from requirements and procedures which have not
affected, and are not affecting, the intended use of Chartek fireproofing but could result
in affecting the intended use unless corrective action is taken.

Examples:

•

Failure to have at least one International trained supervisor on site

•

Use of non-approved equipment or equipment which is not totally operational

•

Improper storage of Chartek fireproofing either for general storage or heated
storage during preparation for spraying

(latest revision) on site

•

Failure to have a project-specific or International Chartek QC Manual on site

•

Failure to have a sample area prepared for the Project

•

Failure to remove weld flash or to clean surface prior to applying Chartek

•

Failure to verify pin weld integrity

•

Failure to verify primer thickness prior to application of Chartek fireproofing

•

Excessive use of solvent during mixing prior to application by single pot equipment
or material mixed for hand patching operations

•

Failure to ensure that compressed air lines and equipment are adequately
moisture trapped to prevent ingress of moisture into the spray process

•

Use of non-approved solvent or contaminated solvent

•

Technically correct but aesthetically unacceptable fireproofing surface finishes

•

Failure to utilise recommended equipment, airless machines with inoperable
temperature or pressure gauges, or conventional machines without necessary
modifications for Chartek application. Furthermore, such equipment must be
removed from operation or repaired immediately

OBSERVATIONS

Examples:
