The thermal spray procedure specification (TSPS) is a critically important quality assurance document in the production workflow when producing a thermally sprayed coating. This European standard defines the minimum requirements that should be followed for the content of a thermal spray procedure specification. When applying the thermal spray procedure specification, the requirements of the coating specification should be met. To ensure traceability, the thermal spray procedure specification should be documented and component-related. Tests and test scopes should be defined by the manufacturer of the coating in a separate test plan according to the requirements of the coating specification.
