It shall be used when any of the following situationsoccur:1.1 Initial Product ApprovalThis specification shall be given to coating manufacturers, or other vendors of coating products, that wish to obtain initial approval for products that have not previously been qualified in accordance with this specification.1.2 Purchase Requisitions/Purchase OrdersThis specification shall be attached to Purchase Requisitions or Purchase Orderswhen those documents address the procurement of coating products that havenot been previously qualified in accordance with this specification.This specification does not apply to, and should not be included with, Purchaseorders or requisitions for coating products that have been previously qualified per this specification. This specification should also not be included with purchase orders or requisitions for coated items or equipment when a SaudiAramco approved protective coating system has been specified.1.3 Periodic Product Compliance ChecksThis specification may be used for periodic product compliance checks on previously approved coatings. It shall be given to the organization conductingthe compliance tests. 2 Conflicts and Deviations 2.1 Any conflicts between this specification and other Saudi Aramco MaterialsSystem Specifications (SAMSSs), Saudi Aramco Engineering Standards(SAESs), industry codes and standards, and Saudi Aramco Standard Drawings(SASDs) and Forms shall be resolved in writing by the Company or Buyer Representative through the Manager, Consulting Services Department of SaudiAramco, Dhahran.2.2 Direct all requests to deviate from this specification in writing to the Company or Buyer Representative, who shall follow internal company procedure SAEP-302 and forward such requests to the Manager, Consulting Services Department of Saudi Aramco, Dhahran.
