NACE Coating Inspector Program (CIP) After earning your CIP credential, you’ll regularly document surface prep conditions, coating thickness, and adhesion failures on job sites—reports that contractors and engineers depend on to enforce warranty claims and prevent costly rework. Your inspections directly determine whether projects pass or fail final acceptance.
