SSPC QP Certifications
As a result of our continuing efforts in education, training and
safety, Park Derochie has achieved SSPC QP 1, 3 and 6 status. This makes
PD the only Canadian company to hold all three of these certifications.
SSPC QP certification is a standard similar to ISO but the QP
program is specifically geared to the coatings industry. A program description is available from the
SSPC web site:
The SSPC Painting Contractor Certification Programs are based on consensus
standards developed by a diverse committee of industry professionals. It is a
nationally recognized independent contractor evaluation program, as well as a
pre-qualification tool developed by SSPC for facility owners and others who hire
industrial painting contractors.
Each program reviews the industrial painting contractor's primary ability to
provide quality work in accordance with applicable safety, health and
environmental compliance standards. The program is divided into the following
categories:
- QP 1
evaluates contractors who perform surface preparation and industrial coating
application on steel structures in the field.
- QP 2
is a supplement to QP 1 that evaluates the contractor's ability to perform
industrial hazardous paint removal in a field operation.
- QP 3
evaluates a contracting company's ability to perform surface preparation and
protective coating application in a fixed shop facility.
- QP 6
evaluates the qualifications of industrial thermal spray (metallizing) contractors.
