If you’re looking for dependable asbestos testing for vermiculite insulation, understanding the reliability of laboratory results is crucial. At LCS Laboratory Inc., we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality analytical services at the most affordable rates.
Purpose of Our Vermiculite Testing Service
Our vermiculite testing service is designed to help property owners, contractors, and industrial hygienists accurately assess the presence of asbestos in insulation materials. According to Ontario Asbestos Regulation 278/05, asbestos testing is essential to determine whether vermiculite insulation contains hazardous asbestos fibres. The regulation mandates that at least three separate samples be collected and analysed. If all three samples show results below 0.5% asbestos, the material is deemed non-asbestos. However, if any sample contains 0.5% asbestos or more, the entire material must be classified as asbestos-containing.
Our service ensures you meet these regulatory requirements while providing the data you need to manage asbestos-related risks effectively.
