NORSOK M501-Protective coatings testing for offshore applications

SMART & Element offers testing of protective coatings to NORSOK M501 for offshore installations and associated facilities to help companies select the coating systems, which provide optimum protection with minimum maintenance, easy application, and fully documented HS&E impact evaluations.
 
We deliver consistent and accurate results offering 3rd party witnessing of the paint applications as part of the Norsok M-501 approval process. Edition 7 was published in November 2022 and brought major changes for manufacturers and testing requirements.

The standard includes application qualification checks (such as surface profile, cleanliness, and salt contamination) in addition to a comprehensive list of laboratory test protocols per service environment to determine product performance.
