Analysis with a JEOL SEM-EDS electron microscope
Samples arriving from Hämeenlinna are examined with a JEOL SEM-EDS electron microscope. The electron microscope makes the fibres visible and EDS elemental analysis confirms their composition, so identification rests on measured data rather than an estimate. The examination is carried out in accordance with the ISO 22262-1 standard and the result is as a rule ready on the day of arrival.
What the result means
The answer shows whether asbestos is present in the material examined and of which type. A positive result means the work must be carried out as asbestos removal work, which only an authorised contractor may carry out. A negative result gives written certainty that can be attached to the renovation paperwork. The result always concerns exactly the material the sample was taken from.
