Confirm which Federal Specification TT-P-1952 paint type (I, II, or III) a proposed traffic paint product is certified to, and that the manufacturer's cited revision letter is current, before ordering for a job that references the federal spec.

Steps

  1. Locate the current TT-P-1952 document via a GSA or everyspec.com mirror, since the spec is not hosted on a single canonical .gov landing page; confirm the revision letter cited (Revision F, dated February 17, 2015, is the most recent found — older E/D revisions still circulate on manufacturer spec sheets).
  2. Confirm TT-P-1952 covers low-VOC, one-component, 100% acrylic waterborne airfield and traffic marking paint across multiple types.
  3. Identify which Type (I, II, or III) the manufacturer's certificate of compliance or technical data sheet claims.
  4. Cross-check that claim, and the cited revision letter, against the job's contract-specified type/revision before ordering.
  5. Retain the manufacturer's certificate of compliance in the project file.
