Accredited by ANSI, DOTQS developed this program after learning there was a quality gap in the industry for qualified galvanizing plans. Our program assists owners and agencies in the utility, transportation and/or infrastructure sector who depend on quality galvanized coatings to protect their products. Requiring compliance with our Galvanizing Standard and program provides the customers of these agencies confidence they will receive the service they have specified and a coating that protects for the service life they expect.
This Standard guides galvanizers in their effort to have a comprehensive and fully implemented Quality Management System. An effectively implemented, regularly maintained, and audited Quality Management System is a key indicator of a galvanizer’s ability to consistently deliver quality to their customers. This is demonstrated via successful, process performance-based audits, and on-time delivery of product, fully meeting plans and specifications.
