Asbestos was a popular construction material used widely until it was discovered that the inhalation of asbestos fibres caused significant health risks. Since then, global regulations have been introduced for the management of asbestos in the workplace.

We support our clients in ensuring that these regulations are met, by offering complete asbestos testing of various materials by polarised light and electron microscopy for the identification of material constituents.

Asbestos Testing - Identification
Our asbestos testing services isolate, identify and quantify all types of asbestos including: Chrysotile, Amosite, Crocidolite, Tremolite, Actinolite and Anthophyllite in virtually all types of materials from soils, cements, vermiculite, insulating materials, and floor tiles to ceiling tiles. We hold NVLAP and ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation for atmospheric sampling, fibre counting and asbestos testing in bulk materials, ensuring that all asbestos testing is conducted according to regulation.

In the UK, Exova is able to offer building surveys to identify type, location and condition of asbestos containing materials and air monitoring to ensure workplace safety. Exova holds ISO 17025 accreditation for atmospheric sampling, fibre counting and asbestos testing in bulk materials; as well as ISO 10720 accreditation for asbestos surveying and re-inspection services. Typical buildings include: retail, commercial, industrial and residential properties as well as marine vessels. Asbestos testing reports can be provided in a variety of formats including internet hosted databases. In addition, Exova Europe has extensive experience in full Asbestos Project Management related to asbestos testing.
