If requested, qualification testing to demonstrate the characteristics of the coating shall be carried out. This test shall use the coating materials, the procedure, equipment and personnel that will be used on site and will take into account specific application conditions found on site; recommendations for the procedure are given in Annex I. 6.8 Preliminary quality inspection The coater shall ensure that: the products comply with the specification; the storage instructions are followed. 7 Coatings 7.1 Bituminous tapes, petrolatum tapes, plastic tapes or heat shrinkable materials 7.1.1 General All coatings made by tapes or heat shrinkable materials shall meet the requirements of EN 12068.

7.1.6 Characteristics of the coating applied 7.1.6.1 General The tests below shall be carried out. 7.1.6.2 Thickness The nominal thickness is the sum of the thickness of the individual layers before application. Unless agreed otherwise with the purchaser, the minimum thickness of the coating on the body of the joint shall be not less than 90 % of the nominal value given in EN 12068. Unless agreed otherwise with the purchaser, the minimum thickness on the top of the weld bead shall be not less that 0.6 mm. NOTE The thickness on the weld bead is normally less than on the body because some of the polymeric adhesive will flow from the bead to the body, both during and after application. This is necessary to prevent voids in the coating and is not detrimental to the corrosion protection. The thickness should be measured using the method given in Annex A. 7.1.6.3 Holiday detection The whole surface of the coated joint shall be checked for holidays or other discontinuities at a voltage of
5 kV per mm of coating thickness +5 kV, with a maximum of 15 kV, in accordance with the method given in
Annex B. No holidays or other discontinuities are allowed. 7.1.6.4 Peel strength The minimal waiting period between application of the coating and the peel force test is given in Table 4. The test shall be carried out in accordance with the method defined in Annex D. The peel strength on the joint shall meet the requirements given in EN 12068. SIST EN 10329:2006
The waiting period may be reduced by agreement with the manufacturer.
7.2 Liquid epoxy resin or liquid polyurethane 7.2.1 General The liquid epoxy resin (EP) and the liquid polyurethane (PUR) shall meet the qualification requirements defined in EN 10289 and EN 10290 except infrared scan and cut back at the end. 7.2.2 Definition of the coating The coating on the joints consists of the application of one or more coats of the liquid epoxy resin or liquid polyurethane, which may be modified. These materials may be applied with or without a primer coat. The thickness classes and maximum operating temperatures of epoxy and polyurethane coatings are given in EN 10289 and EN 10290. However, all classes of both coating types are suitable for use at temperatures down to - 20 °C. The different combinations of coating thickness and maximum operating temperature are given in Table 5. Table 5 — Coating thickness and maximum operating temperatures
