Steps
Obtain the current edition of AWCI Technical Manual 12-A to structure the project's SFRM testing and inspection program (sampling plan, member selection, reporting format).
Define the sampling rate and member-selection method per 12-A guidance rather than testing an arbitrary or convenient subset of members.
Integrate the ASTM E605 (thickness/density) and E736 (bond strength) test protocols into a single inspection plan and reporting template consistent with 12-A.
Require the special inspector or testing agency to issue field reports formatted per 12-A for each tested location, retained in the special-inspection record.
Use 12-A's guidance to set acceptance/rejection criteria and rework procedures for locations that fail thickness, density, or bond-strength testing.
Known gotchas
AWCI Technical Manual 12-A has gone through multiple editions (a 4th edition and later revisions exist) — confirm the current edition on awci.org or the ICC store rather than referencing outdated criteria.
12-A is a testing/inspection standard practice, not a substitute for the manufacturer's own installation instructions — use both together.
This scope covers spray-applied (wet) SFRM QC and is distinct from thin-film intumescent field inspection, which follows AWCI Technical Manual 12-B rather than 12-A.
