Designation:D428608Standard Practice forDetermining Coating Contractor Qualifications for NuclearPowered Electric Generation Facilities1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4286;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice provides a criteria guide and proceduralmethod to assist utility owners,architects,engineers,constructors,and other selection agencies in determining theoverall qualifications of a coating contractor to execute coatingwork for the primary containment and other safety-relatedfacilities of light-water nuclear power plants.1.2 The qualification criteria and requirements address theessential basic capability of a contractor to execute nuclearcoating work.Obviously,the specific capability to executethose requirements unique to a given project must also becarefully considered.The evaluation procedure contained inthis practice is designed to be adaptive to this detailed finalqualification process.Variation or simplification of the practiceis appropriate for non safety-related areas of nuclear powerplants,fossil fueled facilities,and other industrial projects.1.3 The overall capability of a contractor to successfullyexecute the varied and complex requirements of nuclearcoating work is dependent upon competency in a variety ofessential categories.1.4 The nine evaluation categories described in Sections 3 12 detail the specific data to be provided by the contractor asessential to determining qualification status.In addition,a tenthuntitled category has been provided on the evaluation workdescribed in Section 12 for inclusion of other informationpertinent to a specific project.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D3843 Practice for Quality Assurance for Protective Coat-ings Applied to Nuclear FacilitiesD4537 Guide for Establishing Procedures to Qualify andCertify Personnel Performing Coating and Lining WorkInspection in Nuclear Facilities2.2 American National Standards:3N 45.2.6 Qualifications of Inspection,Examination,andTesting Personnel for Nuclear Power PlantsNQA-1 Quality Assurance Requirements for Nuclear Facil-ity Applications2.3 Other Standard:10 CFR 50Appendix B Nuclear RegulatoryAgency,QualityAssurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants43.Personnel3.1 Home Offce Management and Staff Resumes of thefollowingtypesofpersonnelincludingeducationalbackground,duration and degree of involvement in industrialcoating operations,qualifications,registrations,certifications,and specific experience in nuclear coating work.3.1.1 Principals and General Management.3.1.2 Engineering Manager.3.1.3 Project EngineersList specific nuclear coating workproject involvement.3.1.4 QA/QCManagerListspecificqualification/certification credentials perANSI N 45.2.6,or Guide D4537,orNQA-1.3.2 General Field or Shop SupervisionResumes to in-clude specific nuclear coatings work experience.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D33 on ProtectiveCoating and Lining Work for Power Generation Facilities and is the directresponsibility of Subcommittee D33.05 on Application and Surface Preparation.Current edition approved Jan.1,2008.Published January 2008.Originallyapproved in 1984.Last previous edition approved in 1999 as D4286 90(1999).DOI:10.1520/D4286-08.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Available from American National Standards Institute(ANSI),25 W.43rd St.,4th Floor,New York,NY 10036,http:/www.ansi.org.4Available from U.S.Government Printing Office Superintendent of Documents,732 N.Capitol St.,NW,Mail Stop:SDE,Washington,DC 20401,http:/www.access.gpo.gov.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 3.3 On-Site or In-Shop Project Supervision:3.3.1 Total number of personnel qualified for nuclear coat-ings work,including specific work history.3.3.2 Total number available in a specific time frame,ifappropriate.4.Contractor Work Experience4.1 General ExperienceList of comparable industrialprojects,including type(construction or maintenance),form ofcontract,dollar volume,scope,and duration(start and comple-tion dates)executed during the past five years.Accompanyingthis listing provide personnel references to include names,titles,locations,and telephone numbers.4.2 Nuclear Coating Work Ex
