Approved Surface Treatment Providers

Surface treatment is regarded as a critical process where suppliers (1st Tier) are only allowed to use sub contractors (Tier 2-3) that are approved by Scania according STD3868. See attached document at the bottom.

An approval from Scania indicates that the supplier has the ability to fullfill:
– STD4310 Requirements for supplier of surface treatment 
– STD3868 Scania customer specific requirements.

This does not mean that Scania accept responsibility for the quality output from suppliers on the approved sub-contractor list. 
The 1st Tier supplier remains responsible for all quality assurance issues and compliance with STD4310 and STD3868.

A list of recommended powder coatings that are approved by Scania is stated in Technical report 7069643” (see attachment 7069643 Recommended powder coatings for chassis mounted parts).

* Note – There is a separate list for 1st Tier suppliers with internal surface treatment
