4 Requirements for the manufacturer
4.1 General
The manufacturer of thermal spray coating shall possess a quality management system, which can
fulfil the necessary quality requirements in accordance with this document or to the quality assurance
system in accordance with ISO 14922-1 (A, B or C), shall employ qualified personnel, is responsible to
keep the function of the spray and necessary ancillary equipment in proper condition and shall fulfil
applicable requirements concerning health and safety and environment protection. For that purpose,
the instructions and information provided by the CEN/TR 15339 series may be helpful.
4.2 Qualification of the manufacturer
4.2.1 Qualification of the equipment
The manufacturer shall provide blasting and spraying equipment and ancillary equipment which is fit
for the purpose. The continued proper functioning of the equipment shall be proven through inspection
reports or results of successfully applied tests (e.g. if a component related procedure qualification has
passed). Testing may be carried out in accordance with the appropriate part of the standard series
EN 1395-1 to EN 1395-3, EN 1395-6 or EN 1395-7.
The manufacturer is also responsible for providing an adequate calibration and validation of the
instruments for measuring, testing and for supervision. The results of the tests, calibration and
maintenance shall be documented.
4.2.2 Qualification of supervision personnel
The manufacturer of the thermal-sprayed coating shall employ qualified supervisors according to the
requirements of the component and of the required quality in accordance with ISO 2063-1 and to this
document. The education and qualification of the supervisor should be carried out in accordance with
ISO 12690.
When an additional coating with organic materials is part of the order, an adequate qualified person
shall be available for supervision of this part of the corrosion protection, e.g. with the scope of
responsibility in accordance with ISO 12944-7.
4.2.3 Qualification of spraying personnel
In case of manual spraying, the manufacturer of the thermal-sprayed coating shall employ qualified
thermal sprayers in accordance with ISO 14918 or sprayers who are instructed and trained adequately
(e.g. with long lasting and proved experience in thermal spraying). This requirement shall be in
accordance with the requirements of the component, the quality assurance system in accordance with
ISO 14922-1 and of this document or of the contract.
4.2.4 Qualification of test personnel
The manufacturer of the thermal-sprayed coating shall only employ inspectors who possess the
required qualification for the test procedure concerned in accordance with the requirements of the
component and the required quality in accordance with ISO 2063-1 and this document.
ISO 2063-2:2017(E)
When an additional coating with organic materials is part of the order, an adequate qualified person
shall be available for supervision of this part of the corrosion protection, e.g. with the responsibility in
accordance with ISO 12944-7.
4.3 Coating specification for the thermal-sprayed coating
The manufacturer of the thermal-sprayed coating of a component shall fulfil any requirements, which
are stipulated in the contract and/or coating specification. If neither a coating specification is present
nor rated values of the minimum coating thickness, minimum tensile adhesive strength, admissible
imperfections, post treatments, e.g. sealing, and tests and their scope are specified in the coating
specification or in the manufacturing instructions, they shall be agreed upon between the contracting
parties or be taken from this document.
Test specifications shall be prepared by the manufacturer of the coating, if required in agreement with
the contractor, when they are not part of the coating specification.
4.4 Assessment of the coating on the basis of reference areas
If in the case of a thermal-sprayed coating for very large surfaces, representative areas can be coated.
Location and size of the areas shall be unambiguously defined and documented.
5 Quality assurance measures for the manufacturer
5.1 General
This clause describes the measures that shall be taken by the coating manufacturer, in order to ensure
an adequate order management, quality assurance and reproducibility of manufacturing.
5.2 Assessment of the design to coatability
In the frame of the contract and design review, the coatability of the component shall be checked.
Checking is necessary for working in the workshop, as well as for working on-site and repairs, in the
case of maintenance work. If the main principles are considered when executing the constructive design
(dealt in ISO 2063-1) and the questions of the check list (see Annex F) can be positively answered, the
work piece would be considered coatable.
5.3 Establishing the manufacturing instructions — Manufacturing sequence plan
The manufacturer of spray coatings shall establish manufacturing instructions, detailing all single
work and test steps listed in chronological order, including the surface preparation, thermal spraying,
post-treatments, e.g. smoothing or sealing of the coating and establishing the documentation. Spray
procedure specifications necessary for each single process shall be indicated. This manufacturing
sequence plan can be used as a job control record (JCR).
5.4 Establishing the thermal spray procedure specification
The coating manufacturer is responsible for establishing and following the thermal spray procedure
specification (TSPS). This procedure should include information on the coating specification and to the
manufacturing instructions, as well as parts lists, substrate and spray materials data, drawings and
test instructions. All relevant information should be available for the thermal sprayer in written form,
if appropriate.
The TSPS shall contain all parameters of the procedure required for the spray process.
The required spray parameters shall be determined using sprayed specimens or can be taken from
similar applications. The TSPS can be qualified by a procedure qualification in accordance with
4 © ISO 2017 – All rights reserved

ISO 2063-2:2017(E)
EN 15648, if this is required by the quality management system of the manufacturer generally, or by
the contractor.
The preparation of the surface to be coated shall be specified in the TSPS, together with the required
cleanliness level. For further instructions, see 6.2.
Any changing of a parameter or the spray materials, ancillary substances, the design, the spray
procedure or the spray equipment requires a checking of the coating quality. If necessary, the TSPS
shall be corrected or prepared again.
5.5 Qualification of the TSPS and scope of the TSPS
Coating manufacturers can achieve qualification of the TSPS by a component-related procedure
qualification in accordance with EN 15648 or by testing on test sheets, if the requirements are fulfilled,
which are stipulated in the coating specification for the respective part.
The scope can also be agreed upon by the contracting parties for similar parts, if the substrate material
is comparable in its technological, metallurgical, physical and chemical properties. Comparability is
given to the level of difficulty for the thermal spraying.
5.6 Qualification of the TSPS by a specific job reference qualification
Due to shape and dimension of very large components the qualification of a spray procedure
specification (TSPS) by a component related qualification maybe too complicated and expensive. A
job reference qualification (JRQ) can be used to assess the suitability of the application process. By
that way job reference specimens (JRSs) shall represent the spray positions to be performed and shall
be comparable to the level of difficulty on preparation and thermal spraying of the component. The
procedure shall be agreed upon between contracting parties.
5.7 Special job qualification by performance on mock-ups, if required
If required by the contractor, a referencing mock-up shall be manufactured to simulate the angles for
steel assemblies exhibiting acute angles between structural members to be sprayed after welding or
assembly. Details of the acceptance criteria should be agreed upon.
6 Manufacturing of thermal-sprayed coatings
6.1 General
This clause deals with the operations and measures of the applicator of the spray coating, which belong
to a conforming manufacturing route for the deposition of a thermal-sprayed coating. This procedure
applies to the component as well as to accompanying specimens, if they are required.
It may be helpful to check accessibility for preparation, spraying, post treatments and testing, and
to follow the design considerations of the area to be sprayed according to general requirements, e.g.
EN 15520. A useful checklist is presented in Annex F.
If possible, very large surfaces should be separated into sectors to be coated, in order to fulfil the
requirement to start with the thermal spraying immediately without any delay after finishing the
surface preparation.
NOTE 1 The term “immediately without any delay” means without any culpable delay.
2 2
NOTE 2 Usually, such a section would not exceed 40 m to 45 m . In some cases, such a sectioning will be
impossible, especially in long beams. The surface preparation in overlapping zones needs special attention so as
not to damage the coating already partially applied by blasting of the next section. Usually, a time period of 4 h is
adequate in zones with temperate climate.
ISO 2063-2:2017(E)
For climate zones with a high continuous humidity, this rule is not valid. In such cases, the size of sections and
the 4 h period should be significantly reduced and special measures for drying should be applied. Otherwise,
thermal spraying cannot be applied without loss in quality.
6.2 Preparation of the surface to be coated
6.2.1 Masking of areas not to be coated
Areas of the part that are not to be coated shall be masked prior to blasting and prior to spraying.
The masking material should withstand the grit when blasting and the hot spray particles when
spraying. Otherwise, separate masking should be applied for each process.
Precautionary measures should be taken to avoid contamination of the surfaces to be coated by a
masking material.
6.2.2 Preparation of the surface to be coated by blasting
EN 13507 (or similar) should be followed in the preparation of the surface to be coated when no
instructions are stipulated in the TSPS. The blasting parameter shall be determined using a plate as a
test specimen if no parameter is stipulated in the TSPS or in the manufacturing instructions.
NOTE Important parameters are type and grain size of the blasting material, state of wear (sharp or rounded
edges), blasting time, distance and angle, air pressure and type of the spray equipment.
The surface to be prepared, including occasional weld areas (if available) shall be cleaned and blasted
using pressurized air blast equipment and an adequate blasting material, until the part’s surface gives
a metallic appearance with uniform structure in accordance with ISO 8501-1, Sa 2 ½ G for Zn/ZnAl15
and Sa 3 G for Al/AlMg5. This state shall be confirmed by visual comparison to the reference sample G
(grit) in accordance with ISO 8503-1, if no other commitment is agreed upon between the contracting
parties.
Usually, surface roughness (R ) should be in the range of 50 µm to 100 µm, depending on the spray
z
process and spray material.
Safe access and sufficient lighting of the surface to be blasted and adequate work conditions (low
humidity, sufficient temperature of environment and component for instance not falling below the
dew point, protection against ice, rain and wind) shall be ensured for blasting and subsequent testing.
Specific measures shall be taken in the case of working on-site.
The blasting material shall be adequately stored and protected from pollution.
Sufficient cleaning of the blasted surface from grit residues should be carried out in accordance with
EN 13507 (or similar). For further details, see Annex H.
After blasting, spraying shall be started as soon as possible to avoid any contamination and build-up of
moisture on the surface.
6.2.3 Testing of the prepared surface
The condition of the surface to be coated shall be checked for cleanliness in accordance with ISO 8501-1
and to the desired uniform roughness by visual comparison. Reference samples in accordance with
ISO 8503-1 are adequate aids.
6.3 Thermal spraying
6.3.1 General
Before spraying, the surface prepared for coating shall be visually checked. If imperfections on the
surface to be coated are visible the surface preparation shall be repeated.

ISO 2063-2:2017(E)
6.3.2 Spray material
The spray material stipulated in the TSPS shall be applied. Proof shall be delivered on the conformity
of the spray material by comparison with the accompanying supply instructions and designations. The
instructions of the manufacturer/supplier for storage and use of the spray material shall be considered.
6.3.3 Pre-conditions for the execution of thermal spraying process
When the spray equipment is not in operation, checking of the parameter setting should be carried out.
Applying a bend test (or, if required, an adhesion test in accordance with ISO 4624) can be helpful. For
details, see Annex G.
After finishing the surface preparation (blasting and masking, if appropriate, and testing) spraying
shall be started immediately. The spray coating shall be produced using the parameter stipulated in the
TSPS in one manufacturing step without interruption.
An assessment of the atmospheric conditions (humidity, dew point and ambient air temperature) shall
be carried out and recorded before thermal spray application begins. When large components are to
be thermally coated, these conditions shall be checked in adequate periods of time while spraying is
running. Spraying should not be performed unless the ambient requirements for thermal spraying
or sealing are met. If the general climate conditions allow (temperate climate zones), the following
environmental conditions should be present prior to thermal spraying:
— surface temperature: > 3 °C above the dewpoint of the air (determined in accordance with
ISO 8502-4);
— relative humidity: < 85 %;
— air temperature: > 5 °C (determined in accordance with ISO 8502-4).
6.3.4 Execution of thermal spraying
Thermal spraying shall be carried out according to the instructions of the TSPS. For further details,
see 5.4.
The following spraying parameters shall be supervised in adequate periods of time by the spray
coordinator/supervisor or the sprayer:
