Asbesto Sampling

 Asbestos testing involves analysing suspect materials to determine whether or not they contain any asbestos.

There are some known common asbestos containing materials (ACM’s) such as textured coatings, cement, sprayed coatings, insulation board and pipe lagging.

Testing involves taking single or bulk samples of any suspected ACM’s and sending the samples to an asbestos tester to be analysed for asbestos fibres in an independent laboratory.

The results will determine whether asbestos is present, and if so, the type(s) found.

The 3 most common types of asbestos are Chrysotile, Crocidolite and Amosite.
