S.No.CheckpointIS RequirementStatus
A. MATERIAL VERIFICATION
A1Primer product approved: Type, grade, batch verified against specification; test cert available
Acceptance: Product cert available; batch within shelf-life; coverage rate verified from label		Cl. 302 — Material approval
A2Primer quality verified: Viscosity, adhesion, coverage rate per IS standard; storage conditions OK
Acceptance: Product undiluted (if specified); no lumps/sediment; color uniform; ready for use		Cl. 302 — Quality check
B. APPLICATION PREPARATION
B1Surface preparation complete: Surface clean, dry, defects filled, ready for primer
Acceptance: Surface prep sign-off available; moisture <10%; visual inspection confirms ready state		Cl. 302 — Prerequisite check
B2Weather conditions suitable: Ambient 10-35°C, humidity <85%, no rain forecast in next 24 hrs
Acceptance: Temperature logged; humidity confirmed; dry application conditions; rain protection available		Cl. 302 — Environmental conditions
B3Equipment ready: Brushes, rollers, trays clean; application tools in good condition
Acceptance: Tools clean, dry; bristles intact; roller nap 6-8mm for primer; no old paint residue		Cl. 302 — Tool readiness
C. PRIMER APPLICATION
C1Coverage rate verified: Primer coverage rate per label (typically 8-12 m²/liter); area×rate=quantity
Acceptance: Coverage rate documented; quantity per m² calculated; actual consumption logged		Cl. 302 — Material control
C2Primer applied uniformly: Full coverage, no thin spots, no missed areas; consistent color across surface
Acceptance: Visual inspection shows uniform color; straightedge test shows no bare spots; 100% coverage		Cl. 302 — Application control
C3Application thickness: Wet thickness 80-120 microns typical; dry film thickness 20-40 microns
Acceptance: Wet thickness measured immediately; DFT checked after drying per spec		Cl. 302 — Thickness control
C4Edges and corners adequately filled; no thick runs or sags; application technique adequate
Acceptance: No drips >2mm; corners filled; brush marks minimal; smooth finish		Cl. 302 — Quality application
