    ISO 8501-1 : 1988
    • Any surface defects revealed by blast cleaning should be ground, filled or treated in a suitable
    manner.
    • An average surface profile of 40 microns is acceptable, but this average should not exceed 75
    microns.
    • After blasting, remove dust from the surface.
