The SSPC Painting Contractor Certification Programs are based on consensus standards developed by
a diverse committeeof industry professionals. It is a nationally recognized independent contractor
evaluation program, as well as a pre-qualification tool developed by SSPC for facility owners and
others who hire industrial painting contractors.
Each program reviews the industrial painting contractor's primary ability to provide quality work in
accordance with applicable safety, health and environmental compliance standards. The program is
divided into the following categories:
QP1 evaluates contractors who perform surface preparation and industrial coating application on steel
structures in the field.
QP2 is a supplement to QP1 that evaluates the contractor's ability to perform industrial hazardous
paint removal in a field operation. Two QP2 categories are available based on the type of equipment
and containment
Category A - Negative Air Containment
Category B - No Negative Air Containment
