All current AMPP Standards are available to AMPP members as part of membership. Visit the AMPP Standards page to access, or the AMPP Membership page to become a member to access.
AMPP Standards help drive and raise the level of industry by setting thresholds, establishing procedures, and driving consistency and improvements. Our standards help solve the need for standardization and consistency of action with regards to material selection, surface preparation, coatings application, coatings inspection, and cathodic protection systems.
