The Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP), the global authority in materials protection and performance, has finalized a strategic partnership with BSB Edge, an India-based standards aggregator, to expand international access to its standards through a leading global distribution platform. This agreement enables AMPP standards to be incorporated into multi-SDO subscription offerings, supporting broader adoption of corrosion control and protective coatings standards in rapidly growing industrial regions.

Why it matters

Expanding access to AMPP standards in India, the GCC, and China is a strategic step in strengthening global alignment around materials protection best practices. By partnering with BSB Edge, AMPP is meeting engineers, asset owners, contractors, and inspectors where they already access standards, increasing the visibility of AMPP documents and supporting safer, more reliable infrastructure worldwide.

The details

AMPP standards, built on the legacy of NACE International and SSPC: The Society for Protective Coatings, provide globally recognized benchmarks for corrosion management, cathodic protection, surface preparation, protective coatings application, inspection, and long-term asset performance. Through BSB Edge's Standards e-Pedia platform, users can access current and historical AMPP documents, receive update notifications, and search standards within a centralized digital library.

  • The partnership was finalized on February 17, 2026.
