MPI STANDARDS COMMUNITY

The Standards Community is comprised of ten groups. Eight of these are formed from MPI’s architectural coatings testing categories (LINK), while the ninth encompasses all materials related to substrates, surface preparation, and application while the tenth, and newest group, has been formed to review the MPI 500 series of performance Standards.

Together, these groups encompass the entirety of the painting process, and are designed to ensure a successful selection, preparation, and application.
