The Coating Applicator Specialist (aka, CAS) certification is a written and practical (blast & spray) exam by AMPP designating one to have met the minimum knowledge and skillset requirements for an Industrial Coating Applicator as described in the Joint Standard AMPP ACS 1 / NACE No. 13 Industrial Coating and Lining Application Specialist Qualification and Certification.
CAS certification is requested by more and more industrial site owners as an Applicator Certification in much the same way as NACE CIP is for coating inspection certification.
