Updating your QA process

With the recently announced the FPANZ “Code of Practice for the Specification and Application of Intumescent Coatings for the Fire Protection of Structural Steel”, there is an increased emphasis on the processes around the application of intumescent coatings and the subsequent evidential records that prove compliance.

Clarinspect has been working with companies such as Tech Coatings and Altex Coatings for several years on Wet Film and Dry Film recording systems, and we have recently launched an app and reporting system for applicators to record daily paint logs and QA/QC activities.

Through collaborative efforts with Elcometer and DeFelsko®, Clarinspect has achieved a world first; being the only Coatings QA system that can take readings directly from “Dry Film Thickness (DFT)” gauges for ferrous and non-ferrous substrates.  Using our app to take readings from the DFT gauge directly reduces human error and time wastage along the way!

Clarinspect allows you to produce a QA record that holds readings and batches streamed directly from the gauges along with annotated photos of elements, site plans, substrates, defects and remediations.

The software can also include PDF reports from the equipment manufacturer to provide your clients with a full and complete QA report of your work.
