Type 2 Asbestos Survey

Type 2: Standard sampling, identification and assessment survey (sampling survey)

The purpose and procedures used in this survey are the same for Type 1, except that representative samples are collected and analysed for the presents of Asbestos.

Samples from each type of suspected ACM found are collected and analysed to confirm or refute the surveyor’s judgment. The number of samples should be sufficient for the surveyor to make an assessment of whether Asbestos is or is not present.

Sampling is normally carried out simultaneously with the survey, or can be carried out as a separate exercise, after a Type 1 survey has been carried out.
