MPI APPROVAL SYSTEM
TO BE ADOPTED IN KOREA
The Master Painter Institute (MPI),
which establishes architectural paint
standards and quality assurance pro-
grams in North America, will partner
with the Korea Institute of Construction
Materials (KICM) to test paints and
coatings to MPI standards. Carboline
Korea and KCC already have products
approved by MPI, and more Korean
paint suppliers are expected to follow,
enabling facility owners and specifiers
with assets in Korea and throughout
Asia to access locally-sourced paints and
coatings approved via a well-proven
mechanism for verifying their perform-
ance. MPI already has a similar testing
agreement with the Paint Research
Association in the UK for European
paint suppliers, and the combination of
the two gives MPI worldwide coverage.
