Steps
Determine which track applies: PCI 3000 for custom/job coaters, PCI 4000 for OEM in-house coating lines
Apply through powdercoating.org; PCI membership is not required but members get discounted audit fees and briefs pricing
Schedule the on-site audit with a PCI-authorized inspector who evaluates processes, equipment, maintenance, and QC capability
Maintain certification with documented annual maintenance audits for two years, then repeat the full on-site audit in year four
Access PCI Technical Briefs, including the 4000-series covering OEM topics, through the PCI store/electronic resource area
Known gotchas
PCI 3000 and 4000 are separate certification tracks (custom coater vs. OEM) — applying under the wrong one wastes the audit
Certification lapses without the required interim maintenance-audit documentation, not just the 4-year full re-audit
