Membership

CSCT Membership Application
If you wish to register for both the American Coatings Association (formerly FSCT) and the
CSCT please register with each organization separately to facilitate proper credit and record keeping.

Federation Code of Ethics
Honor, justice and courtesy constitute the cornerstone of the professional ethics which shall guide the members of the Federation of Societies for Coatings Technology. Members shall unremittingly make these elements of conduct basic to the discharge of their duties in the paint industry to the end that:

  1. Members shall recognize their responsibilities to the public by serving it with integrity, fidelity and courtesy; by providing the most useful and serviceable products; and by encouraging the dissemination only of true, fair and un-exaggerated statements of facts.
  2. Members shall recognize their responsibilities to their employers in giving fair and just opinions to those whom they may serve and  who may serve them; by striving to improve the quality of the products over which they may have control and the efficiency of their manufacture; by discouraging the manufacture of unprofitable items; by maintaining an inquiring attitude toward new techniques and developments; and by encouraging the introduction of improved methods and materials. They shall not seek or accept new employment based primarily on the specialized knowledge of their present employers.
  3. Members shall actively support and take part in the work of their local Societies and the Federation, exchanging noncompetitive information and seeking fundamental information which will increase the basic knowledge of the paint industry and will improve its products, equipment and manufacturing methods.
