What is a Nace Coating Inspector?

A NACE Coating Inspector is a certified professional responsible for evaluating and ensuring the quality of protective coatings applied to surfaces, typically in industries like oil and gas, marine, or infrastructure. They inspect surface preparation, coating application, and adherence to industry standards to prevent corrosion and extend asset lifespan. Inspectors follow NACE (now AMPP) standards and may conduct tests, write reports, and ensure compliance with project specifications.
