Built for Asset Integrity Professionals

This template is designed specifically for facility managers, asset integrity engineers, maintenance supervisors, and procurement teams who need to assess industrial coating vendors based on measurable technical criteria. The form captures everything from coating thickness measurements and adhesion test results to documentation quality and warranty compliance—ensuring vendors meet NACE, SSPC, and ISO standards.

With Paperform's conditional logic, you can tailor assessment paths based on coating system type, substrate conditions, and project scope. The built-in calculation fields automatically score vendor performance across critical categories, giving you objective data for contractor selection and performance reviews.

Comprehensive Technical Assessment

The form covers all essential evaluation criteria including surface preparation quality, coating application technique, dry film thickness verification, adhesion testing results (pull-off and cross-hatch), holiday detection protocols, environmental compliance, safety documentation, and warranty terms. You can also include photo uploads for visual inspection evidence and file attachments for test certificates and material data sheets.
