Description

This Draft Rwanda Standard gives recommendations for good practice in initial painting and maintenance painting of buildings internally and externally, e.g. dwellings, offices, light industrial buildings, schools, hospitals, hotels and public buildings generally, in which decoration is a significant and often the major factor._x000D_
It takes into account the need to protect many building materials against the weather or other forms of attack normally encountered._x000D_
The coatings referred to in this code are principally of conventional type, as defined in A.2, but limited reference is made to specialist coatings (A.3) and factory-applied coatings (A.4)._x000D_
In respect of materials generally, the document does not cover in detail the wide and constantly increasing range available. Some materials have been excluded because of their obsolescence, limited or specialized_x000D_
usage or, in the case of newly-developed products, lack of experience of their performance in service._x000D_
This document does not also cover:_x000D_
a) decorative processes and other work usually carried out by specialists;_x000D_
b) the particular requirements of listed or historic buildings_x000D_
c) lime wash and distemper coatings;_x000D_
d) preservative treatments for structural timber;_x000D_
e) coatings for fire protection; and_x000D_
f) general safety hazards of access for painting (Annex C)._x000D_
The recommendations made in the code are intended to facilitate achievement of standards of finish likely to be acceptable in most cases in the types of buildings, providing that the work of other trades has been_x000D_
completed to a satisfactory standard. Where especially high standards of finish are necessary, more elaborate processes and systems than those described in the code might be necessary and should be specified_x000D_
accordingly.
