Asbestos analysis
Asbestos analysis Raasepori
Our laboratory identifies the fibres with an electron microscope (JEOL SEM-EDS), which also distinguishes the rarer amphibole asbestos types in accordance with the ISO 22262-1 standard. A sample sent from Raasepori often makes it into analysis on the day of arrival, and the result is recorded to the precision required by EU Directive 2023/2668. That gives anyone renovating in Uusimaa quick certainty about the composition of the material.

Analysis of old repair layers
From the wooden properties of Raasepori come samples in which the original and the repaired layer sit on top of each other. The work proceeds according to the ISO 22262-1 standard with a JEOL SEM-EDS electron microscope. In old properties the sample often contains several structural layers, and the analysis can distinguish which layer contains asbestos. The result is as a rule ready on the day the sample arrives.
The result and what follows
The answer states whether asbestos is present in the material examined and of which type. A positive result requires asbestos removal work by an authorised contractor. A negative result is a written document that can be attached to the renovation paperwork. Remember that the result covers only the material examined - other structures require samples of their own.
