Determining the presence of asbestos in a home ensures a healthy living environment. This is particularly relevant in real estate transactions.
Why choose SGS for asbestos analysis?
We analyze your suspect materials and provide results covered by both our ISO 17025 accreditation (BELAC) and our SPF - ETCS (worker protection) approval.
Analysis results indicate the nature of the fibers present (type(s) of asbestos).
Asbestos sampling guide
You can take a sample (1 cm² is sufficient) and place it in a double plastic packaging (zip bag placed in a second zip bag), then send it to us in an envelope ideally padded (via a courier service adapted for this type of shipment) or drop it off directly at our laboratory.
If you don't have the required equipment, a sampling kit is available as an option (see Asbebox).
To carry out a representative analysis, the sampling stage is crucial, our sampling guide will show you the best practice to follow.
