Qualicoat Quality System

Qualicoat is Australia’s only licensing and audit system for the entire powder coating process on architectural aluminium. Qualicoat outlines and approves the minimum criteria for the critical elements of powder application, including:

  • Pretreatment
  • Plant
  • Powder

The powders and pre-treatment systems are also tested and approved, so a Qualicoat licence supports the warranty provided by suppliers.

The AISF provides support and guidance to applicators wanting to obtain a Qualicoat licence, so any compliant applicator can achieve certification.

Accreditation Program for Powder Coaters

This program enables businesses to implement a Quality System to control their powder coating processes. Each coater is rated according to their ability to meet the coating performance requirements based on criteria laid out in a Matrix similarto AS4506 and AS3715, the Australian Powder Coating Standards.

This will give customers and specifiers a way to ascertain the capability of a powder coating contractor. It also gives the powder coaters a clear pathway to improve their processes to meet the various levels of coating perfomance. Coaters are formally recognise for their level of competence.
