A reliable laboratory throughout Finland
A per-sample analysis
Samples from the Kouvola region come from very different urban areas and construction years. Identification is done with a JEOL SEM-EDS electron microscope in accordance with the ISO 22262-1 standard. Each sample is analysed separately and reported on its own line, so in a renovation involving several structures you see at once which materials require asbestos removal work.
The result delimits the demolition work
Per-sample information helps to confine asbestos removal work to only those structures that actually contain asbestos. This lowers costs compared with carrying out the whole project as asbestos work just to be safe. The answer is delivered in writing by email.
