COMPULSORY SPOT INSPECTIONS
For each coating project or work we will require some “spot” (at random) inspections to be done by one of our experienced Inspectors. This Inspector will follow up the works from specification set-up, surface preparation until final acceptance or delivery of the works, and he will issue a final report which permits us to cover such works/projects.
