Why Onelab
A reliable laboratory throughout Finland
Analysis with a JEOL SEM-EDS electron microscope
Samples arriving from Rovaniemi are examined with the same JEOL SEM-EDS electron microscope as every other sample. The electron microscope makes the fibres visible and EDS elemental analysis measures their composition. The examination is carried out in accordance with the ISO 22262-1 standard, and the sample is analysed on the day it arrives.
Why reconstruction-era properties are worth examining
In materials from the reconstruction era the share of asbestos is statistically high, but the content of an individual structure cannot be deduced from the construction year. A positive result requires asbestos removal work by an authorised contractor; a negative one gives documented clearance to proceed normally.
