Documentation: surface treatment report to customer
How to compile a report the customer can trust
Use this template to gather the documentation that accompanies a surface treatment task. A good report makes it possible for the customer — and yourself — to look back and see exactly what was done.
§Topic and system
| Field | Filled in with. |
|---|---|
| Part / order number | Description of the part and reference number |
| Coating system | Products and number of coats used |
| Standard / requirement | E.g. agreed cleanliness level or ISO 12944 category |
| Date of execution | Date(s) for pre-treatment and application |
§Pre-treatment
- 01Achieved cleanliness grade (e.g. Sa2½ according to ISO 8501-1)
- 02Method used for pre-treatment (blasting, grinding, degreasing, phosphating)
- 03Any notes about the object's condition before treatment
§Application and inspection
- 01Number of layers and product type per layer
- 02Layer thickness: minimum, average and maximum
- 03Result of adhesion test

A simple uniform report makes it easier to deliver the same quality of documentation task after task — and strengthens the customer's confidence in the work.
