NACE International’s Coating Inspector Program Celebrates 25 Years of ExcellenceBy Gretchen Jacobson, Director, Publications

Students in the NACE CIP learn the concepts of corrosion, coating application techniques, and proper methods for inspection and project management through a combination of classroom and hands-on training.

The NACE International Coating Inspector Program (CIP)—the fi rst and lead-

ing coating inspector program in the world—celebrates its 25th anni-versary this year. More than 15,000 people have gone through all or part of the program since its inception in the early 1980s. Today, CIP-certifi ed professionals are using their expertise in 100 countries to ensure that assets and infrastructure are properly pro-tected and maintained in industries that include oil and gas, marine, ship building, bridges, and other elements of the infrastructure in all environ-ments and conditions.

Established by a core of dedicated NACE members in the protective coatings industry and NACE Edu-cation Division staff, the CIP has

steadily grown and evolved to meet current industry needs and regulatory requirements. NACE CIP courses are offered in 30 countries, in languages that include Chinese, Japanese, Eng-lish, and Spanish.

“When we look at the greatest strengths of the CIP over the years, we can immediately highlight the fact that we not only offer courses all over the world, but our instructors, peers, and students living and working worldwide provide a constant fl ow of information and updates,” says Ray Stone, NACE Education Committee chair, past chair of the NACE CIP Subcommittee, and a CIP instructor for the last 20 years. “This helps us keep the courses up-to-date, and the sharing of experiences is benefi cial to all involved.”

The CIP training curriculum con-sists of three course levels, ranging from basic to advanced coating in-spection knowledge. The program teaches inspectors, applicators, blast-ers, manufacturers, specifi ers, engi-neers, owner’s representatives, and technical salespeople the concepts of corrosion, coating application tech-niques, and proper methods for paint inspection and project management.

“CIP brings together all the disci-plines of the protective coatings indus-try into a two-week format,” says CIP Instructor Phil Fouche, NACE treasurer and current chair of the CIP Subcom-mittee. “More importantly, it brings the people involved in this industry together to learn and share with each other: instructor to student, student to instruc-tor, and student to student.”

Enriching Careers of Students

“Since going through CIP, I’ve pret-ty much had a 20-year run of success,” says Steve Davis, who passed Peer Re-view in 1987. “Before I started the program, I was considering giving up my 10-year career as a painter, fore-man, and general foreman after leav-ing a bad situation at my company. My confi dence was at its lowest ever. But as it turned out, I made at least a 90 in each of my CIP classes and passed my peer on the fi rst shot. The drive home to Corpus Christi from Houston was the shortest 200 miles ever, I was so happy!”

“The results were twofold and almost immediate,” he continues. “First, as a result of doing well in the classes and Peer Review, I regained my confi dence in my ability. I had rubbed elbows with a state senator, paint representatives, business own-ers, Navy paint personnel, and other professionals in my industry. Second, I went to work as an inspector almost immediately. So many of the good things in my life started with going through the CIP.”

“I have taken many different cours-es throughout my career in the Navy; however, none were as intense and well-formatted as my CIP Level 1 course, which I took in Halifax, Nova Scotia,” says Hugh Lankester, a CIP instructor based in Canada. “The course was further condensed by a day because of a snowstorm that shut the city down and an afternoon when the power went out. The instruc-tors were extremely professional and covered all the topics in depth in the shortened time frame.”

Instructor Fouche has seen and heard many times over how the CIP has altered the careers and lives of his students, leading to new opportuni-ties, better job prospects, and higher incomes. But none touched him as much as two students he taught in his very fi rst class.

“There were two students in the fi rst course I ever taught who did an outstanding job on the practical exam (use of instruments), but failed the written exam,” he recalls. “I had graded their quizzes and quickly real-ized that they had reading diffi culties. I praised their use and knowledge of the instruments but told them they had failed the written exam. My ad-vice to them was to consider enrolling in a program to strengthen their read-ing and writing skills.”

Fouche continues, “Five years later, I was teaching a course at the same location and standing at the doorway were those same two students. I went over to see them, and with tears fl ow-ing down their cheeks, they explained that they had enrolled in a night school and had gotten their GEDs (their wives did so as well). That same day, they informed me that they had passed their Peer Reviews.”

“When you see a person able to achieve a career step and their lives change for the better, it makes those long days away from home all worth it!”

Instructors Learn TooDannie Vickers, a CIP instructor

since 1984, says his career has directly benefi ted from his experience teach-ing courses. “Teaching in different global climates has helped me learn fi rst-hand about corrosion-inducing conditions elsewhere,” he says. “My career has been in coating manufac-turing, so by taking (and later teach-ing) the courses, I’ve been able to improve the products my company manufactures by creating coatings that sustain a longer life, even in ex-treme conditions.”

“CIP has allowed me to be with the most knowledgeable people in this industry as well as increase exponen-tially my knowledge in the coatings fi eld,” adds Fouche. “Becoming an instructor enables me to do what I en-joy most—teach others. In so doing, I have been blessed to travel to other

countries and have come to appreci-ate and learn from the many diverse cultures of this world.”

A Universal ProgramAlthough there can be signifi cant

differences in environments, infra-structure, products, and cultures from country to country, coating inspectors encounter circumstances and chal-lenges that are universal.

“From my experience, surface prepa-ration, application, and inspection of protective coatings are very similar around the world,” says Rob Freedman, a CIP instructor based in Merewether, Australia. “Sometimes there are minor variations in the type of equipment or abrasives used; however, all owners of plants and equipment are trying to achieve the same level of quality when protecting their assets.”

Demand for CIP Continues to Grow

“The development of CIP into a world-renowned certifi cation pro-gram is a refl ection of the many CIP-certifi ed professionals whose work has impacted a wide variety of global in-dustries,” says Tony Keane, executive director of NACE. “As the market demand for CIP continues to grow, NACE continually updates the CIP courses to meet those demands and provide the best training available.”

“Over the 25 years of the CIP’s exis-tence, the courses have been constantly updated and revised,” says Stone. “CIP Subcommittee members, volunteer-ing their own time, work with NACE International’s Education Division staff to provide the superior training that CIP is known for. As our international mem-bership and market involvement con-tinue to grow, CIP will remain the ‘go-to program’ in coating inspector training worldwide.”

Ray Stone Wins 2008 NACE Hull Award for InspectThis!

CIP Subcom-mittee Past Chair and

longtime CIP In-structor Ray Stone has received the 2008 NACE International T.J. Hull Award in honor of his out-standing contribution to NACE for his dili-

gent work on the publication InspectThis!. Stone served as the original managing editor of InspectThis!, which was fi rst published in 1999. He was tasked with ensuring that the newsletter would be of value to its audience by containing tech-nically relevant articles, as well as en-hancing the professional bond between coating inspectors and the NACE CIP.

Stone volunteered signifi cant time and expertise in gathering and writing articles of value while striving to ensure that the newsletter was not simply a pro-motion of NACE activities, but a repre-sentative publication of NACE’s service to the coatings industry.

With Stone’s leadership and partici-pation, the newsletter has evolved to in-

clude numerous sections of interest, has grown from four black and white pages to 16 pages in full color, and is published and mailed three times a year. Addition-ally, due to positive response from the coatings industry, the NACE Board of Directors utilizes InspectThis! as a critical tool in further enhancing NACE’s stance in the coatings industry, as outlined in NACE Strategic Plan initiatives.

Stone served a four-year term as vice-chair and a three-year term as chair of the CIP Subcommittee, and currently chairs the Education Com-mittee, where he also served as vice-chair. Stone also vice-chaired the In-spector and Peer Quality Committee, and played a key role in writing updates to the CIP Level 1 and 2 student and instructor manuals. He was a member of the U.S. Air Force, and attended the West Virginia Institute of Technology and Florida State University, where he focused on engineering. Stone is NACE CIP-certifi ed Coating Inspec-tor #58, and has been a CIP instructor for the past 20 years. He is president of RCS Consulting Inc., based in Port St. Lucie, Florida. ●

FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Cheers to the Coating Inspector Program!By Phil Fouche, Chair, CIP Subcommittee

NACE Inter-n a t i o n a l ’ s CIP has been

the original coating inspector program for 25 years, and 15,000 students later, it is still number one and go-ing stronger than ever! I personally have been involved in the pro-

gram since 1990 as a student, through the mid-90s as an instructor, into 2000 as a CIP Subcommittee member, and now CIP Subcommittee chairman this last year. As I look back upon my 18 years, it is amazing how much the CIP program has changed, but the main objectives have remained the same: stay up-to-date within the cor-rosion industry and serve the CIP

students to the best of our ability. On the last day of every class that I teach, I always ask the same question: “Did you get your money’s worth?” I have never had any answer but “Yes!”

As we continue to take this course to other countries with their different lan-guages and cultures, we still see the same issues—corrosion, communication, and people. The places and faces change, but the issues remain the same.

I would like to congratulate Ray Stone on receiving the NACE T.J. Hull Award for starting this CIP publica-tion, InspectThis!. Ray has done many good things for NACE and the CIP. He has worked many thankless hours. His largest obstacle at NACE over the last 25 years was mentoring yours truly through my fi rst few classes as a new instructor. He is a tough taskmas-

ter, but taught me well. Again, great job Ray, and thanks for all you have done at NACE.

And, with great sadness, I bring to you the loss of Lori Blundell. Lori was with the NACE staff for eight years, and was our “go to” person the last three years to make changes in the program, or just make things happen in CIP. She lost her battle with cancer this past January. You may have never met her, but she was so instrumental to the CIP program and the CIP Subcommittee. She will be dearly missed. We all have a bet-ter CIP and a richer life for having known Lori.

Again, here’s “Cheers” to the CIP and wishes for another 25 great years to come. See you in the fi eld or classroom! ●

Beware of the ‘Surface Tolerant’ LabelBy L.D. “Lou” Vincent, President, NACE International

adhered rust, etc. To do this, the resins and curing agents in truly surface-toler-ant coatings need time to achieve that penetration prior to being converted from a liquid coating to a solid fi lm of cured coating. In addition, its perfor-mance properties should be as close to the same properties as those of a generic type of coating that was applied over perfectly cleaned surfaces.

Therein lies the secret to the levels of performance of various surface-tolerant coatings. Chemists have many ways to achieve this penetrating ability over less than perfectly cleaned surfaces. For pur-poses of this article, only surface-toler-ant epoxies will be discussed.

Just what does “surface tol-erant” mean

when it comes to the use of pro-tective coatings? If you ask that question to 10 people you are likely to get 10

different answers, some of which may be similar and others quite varied.

For the purposes of this article, let us accept this defi nition: “A surface-toler-ant protective coating is one that can be applied over marginally cleaned sur-faces.” Sounds good, doesn’t it? Now, defi ne “marginally clean.” To some, it can mean a surface that is commercially blasted. To others, it can mean a surface that is power tool-cleaned. To others, it can mean a surface that is solvent-cleaned.

The importance of an acceptable defi nition is that any level of cleanliness below NACE No. 1/SSPC-SP 5/ISO SA3.01 causes a potential decrease in the performance of coatings applied over that abrasive-blasted surface. The same is true of power tool-cleaned surfaces. Anything less than SSPC-SP 112 causes a potential decrease in the performance of coatings applied over that power tool-cleaned surface. This is especially true of coatings applied to water-jetted surfaces where we have a double-sided effect on performance; one from a level of clean-liness below WJ-1 and one from a level of fl ash rusting below C WJ-2 L.3

To compound the issue, none of the above statements takes into consider-ation the effect on the level of nonvisible contaminants on the cleaned substrate, such as chlorides, sulfates, etc.

As a general guideline, to be a truly surface-tolerant coating, a product must be able to penetrate into and past sur-face contaminants of all kinds so as to gain an anchor to which it can adhere. That anchor may be the original surface profi le, existing sound coatings, tightly

Continued on p. 8 “Beware of the ‘Surface Tolerant’ Label”



The original, so-called surface-tolerant epoxy base component was a combina-tion of epoxy and hydrocarbon resins, and the curing agent was an alkylated phenolic polyamine. That material re-mains essentially the same today. It has a worldwide reputation for performance at both low and elevated temperatures over marginally prepared substrates.

Because the supply of this curing agent was initially limited and avail-able only from one source, other man-ufacturers took different approaches to achieve equivalent performance with varied results—some quite good and some with limitations such as low-temperature cure and a tendency to produce amine blush.

So one can easily see that different products applied over different levels of cleanliness can yield different levels of surface tolerance.

Continued from p. 7 “Beware of the ‘Surface Tolerant’ Label”

The moral of this story is to be in-formed about the comparative perfor-mance of the surface-tolerant products you are considering for your projects. Ask for complete case histories, and study comparative test data before making your decision. You might even consider asking an experienced inde-pendent coatings consultant to research these products for you. The better in-formed you are, the greater the chance for success.

Growth in Corrosion Industry Broadens Need for NACE Instructors

At a time of unprecedented growth for NACE Interna-tional—membership now

exceeds 19,000 worldwide for the fi rst time in the society’s 65-year his-tory—NACE education and training

programs and courses are rapidly in-creasing to keep pace with industry requirements. As much of the world’s infrastructure nears or reaches the end of its design life, qualifi ed corro-sion professionals are in high demand to design and execute effective corro-sion control systems using best engi-neering practices. NACE training and certifi cations are being specifi ed more often and in more places as compa-nies work to prevent the safety, envi-ronmental, and economical problems that result from corrosion-induced failures.

Thousands of students will attend one or more of 370+ NACE educa-tion courses all over the world this year. As NACE increases its course of-ferings, the need for new instructors from both inside and outside North America is also growing to broaden the current strong network of train-ing professionals. Becoming a NACE instructor involves a series of steps

and qualifi cations that vary according to the course taught. The path to be-coming a CIP instructor, for example, includes CIP certifi cation, CIP nomi-nation, fi eld inspection experience, and several other criteria. Once quali-fi ed, instructors may get assignments in various parts of the world.

“We are fortunate to have such an experienced, committed, and talent-ed group of instructors at NACE,” says Education Director Mike Moss. “Looking at trends in the corrosion control industry, we foresee that the demand for these professionals will continue to grow. We encourage those interested to contact us and learn more about the specifi c qualifi cations, application procedures, and other re-quirements.”

The following is a list of NACE technical committees that deal specifi cally with the protective coatings and linings industry. If you are a member of NACE, you may participate in technical committee activities.

Specifi c Technology Groups (STGs) are groups of technical committees organized under a specifi c scope of activity. They either sponsor or administer a number of Task Groups (TGs) and Technology Exchange Groups (TEGs).

TGs are small committees formed by one or more STGs to produce specifi c documents as assigned. The work of each TG generally culminates in a technical committee publication.

TEGs are committees that are formed by STGs to conduct symposia and/or technical information exchanges (TIEs). TEGs do not generate technical committee publications.
