NBS M60 — Painting/clear finishing (National Building Specification, work section M60)

Provisions the documents cite: general clauses — preparation generally (substrates dry in depth, efflorescence removed, surface irregularities abraded, filling flush), coating generally (even, smooth, uniform colour, free from brush marks, sags and runs, cut in neatly), handling and storage (batch numbers, single batch per area), and the sample-area clause

What it requires

The standard specification work section for painting that UK project specifications are written to. The clause text quoted on the quality checklists was read from the NBS Building 2009 reference specification (pp. 183–186) and the Crown Paints M60 Master Specification (2021), which reproduce the general clauses; the current NBS Chorus text is subscription-only and was not read.
