Is Your Asbestos Laboratory "Qualified" ?

Bulk Asbestos Testing is a very subjective [taking place within the mind and modified by individual bias; "a subjective judgment" ] analysis and 'The Purchaser' of this analytical service should not be judging the laboratory based on price alone.

Questions to consider

¤ Does the laboratory belong to a 'recognized' independant correlation program?
¤ Does the laboratory have the appropriate equipment and supplies?
¤ Does the laboratory have reference samples?
¤ Does the laboratory have reference methods and literature?
¤ Does the laboratory have a data storage and retrevial system?
¤ Does the laboratory have a working history?
¤ What are the qualifications of the Asbestos Analyst?

These are several suggestive questions, you may have others. However cost as a concern should only become a factor when your list of qualified laboratories providing similiar services is greater than one.
