4.1 This specification provides uniform requirements for the preparation of test samples used for testing of coatings and linings to be used in nuclear power plants.

4.2 At the users discretion, this standard may also be used when preparing samples to be tested for the purpose of assessing performance attributes for coating and lining systems that may be applied in other types of power plants or for other industrial facilities.

4.3 Users of this guide must ensure that coatings work complies not only with this guide, but also with the licensee’s plant-specific quality assurance program and licensing commitments.
