Surface Preparation
AMPP / SSPC-SP:
Standards for manual, mechanical, and abrasive blast cleaning (SP 1, SP 2, SP 3, SP 5, SP 6, SP 7, SP 10), fundamental to guarantee the adhesion and performance of the coating system.
AMPP and Certifications: International standards that back our engineering, processes, and solutions.
At Aplika Control Corrosión, asset protection is not based solely on field experience, but on rigorous compliance with international technical standards, industry best practices, and certified management systems.
Our operation is aligned with the main standards used in the industrial coatings, corrosion control, passive fire protection, structural repair, and quality assurance sectors, guaranteeing reliable, traceable, and sustainable solutions.
Alignment with AMPP standards
We are a company aligned with the technical guidelines promoted by AMPP (Association for Materials Protection and Performance), an international organization that integrates and consolidates global standards in:
- Anticorrosive protection.
- Selection and performance of industrial coatings.
- Surface preparation.
- Inspection, application, and quality assurance.
- Asset integrity and corrosion control.
AMPP standards currently constitute the most widely used technical reference in the industry for specifying, executing, and auditing coating projects, both in new construction and maintenance.
Most commonly used AMPP regulations in industrial coatings
Within the projects where Aplika supplies coatings, equipment, materials, and engineering services, the following regulations and technical guides are applied recurrently:
Coating application and inspection
AMPP Coating Application & Inspection Standards:
Guidelines for dry and wet film thickness control (DFT/WFT), continuity, curing, holiday testing, and acceptance criteria.
Corrosion under insulation and thermal conditions
AMPP SP0198:
Reference standard for coating systems in CUI (Corrosion Under Insulation), CUF (Corrosion Under Fireproofing), high temperature, and cold/cryogenic service.
Anticorrosive protection by environment
Production
Integration of AMPP standards with ISO 12944 for the classification of corrosive environments and selection of suitable coating systems according to service conditions.
These regulations are the basis for technical specification, material selection, quality control, and validation of performance in service.
ISO Certifications that back our operation
Aplika Control Corrosión has an Integrated Management System certified under the following international standards:
ISO 9001 – Quality Management
Production
Guarantees that all our engineering, supply, application, inspection, and service processes are executed under criteria of quality, traceability, continuous improvement, and customer focus.
ISO 14001 – Environmental Management
Production
Ensures an environmentally responsible operation by controlling environmental impacts associated with the application of coatings, waste management, use of materials, and field operation.
ISO 45001 – Occupational Health and Safety
Production
Establishes a robust framework for risk management, incident prevention, and personnel protection, especially in high-risk activities such as industrial work, heights, confined spaces, and corrosive environments.
These certifications strengthen our ability to operate in highly regulated sectors such as Oil & Gas, energy, mining, infrastructure, naval industry, and sanitation.
Applied engineering with regulatory support
The combination of AMPP regulations, international standards (ISO, ASTM, ASME, API), and our certified management system allows us to offer:
Solid and defensible technical specifications
- Proper selection of coatings and protection systems
- Documented quality control (QA/QC)
- Reduction of technical, operational, and regulatory risks
- Extended asset life and optimization of CAPEX and OPEX
At Aplika, regulatory compliance is not an additional requirement; it is an integral part of our value proposition.
Commitment to technical excellence
We work under international standards because we understand that asset integrity is strategic for operational continuity, safety, and the sustainability of our clients. Aplika Control Corrosión integrates standards, certifications, and applied engineering to protect assets that drive industrial progress.
