The analysis and the obligations in a detached-house renovation
Plenty of sheet and floor samples from detached houses arrive from Nurmijärvi. Fibres are identified with a JEOL SEM-EDS electron microscope; the criteria come from the ISO 22262-1 standard. The instrument identifies fibres on the basis of measured elemental composition. The result is as a rule ready on the day the sample arrives, so a do-it-yourself renovation is not left waiting long for an answer.
What a positive result means in a detached house
The requirements governing asbestos removal work apply in a detached house and in a do-it-yourself renovation too. A positive result means that only an authorised contractor may carry out the demolition work - this cannot be circumvented by doing the job yourself. A negative result gives documented clearance to continue on your own.
