Answer
Statement of Compliance for IMO PSPC (Resolution MSC.215(82))Required for dedicated seawater ballast tanks and double-side skin spaces. Issued by Classification Societies to confirm the coating material meets the Performance Standard for Protective Coatings (PSPC).
Type Approval / Technical Certificate Details:
Name of manufacturer and manufacturing plant location.
Coating brand name, batch numbers, and exact product identification (epoxy multi-coat systems, light colors).
Pre-Qualification Test Results:
Physical test verifications (condensation chamber testing, salt spray tests, wave tank testing proving a target 15-year useful coating life in "GOOD" condition).
Compatibility data with shop primers (e.g., zinc silicate shop primers).
Application Parameters (Included in technical annex):
Surface preparation requirements (e.g., Sa 2.5 cleanliness rating, surface profile 30–75 μm, soluble salt limits ≤50 mg/m2).
Nominal Dry Film Thickness (NDFT: minimum 320 μm applied in 2 main coats + stripe coats, adhering to the 90/10 rule).
Environmental limits during application (relative humidity <85%, surface temperature >3∘C above dew point).
Issued directly by the paint manufacturer for every batch delivered to the ship or shipyard during drydocking.
Certificate of Analysis (CoA) Content:
Batch number and date of manufacture.
Specific gravity / density (g/cm3).
Viscosity, solid volume percentage, and volatile organic compound (VOC) content.
Drying and curing times (touch dry, hard dry, dry-to-recoat intervals at varying ambient temperatures).
Shelf life / expiration date.
Safety & Material Documentation (SDS / MSDS):
Hazard identification, flashpoint (∘C), toxicological properties, handling precautions, and storage conditions.
