Identifying Asbestos
Asbestos cement products continued to be supplied and installed in the UK market right up until the year 2000, until non-asbestos alternatives were introduced. Therefore most products that appear visually identical to Asbestos cement that supplied prior to this date almost certainly will contain Asbestos, yet on the rare occasion could be mistaken for ACM which was a early Asbestos alternative sometimes used between the year 1984 and 2000.
Even the highest trained experts can’t identify said Asbestos product visually, without finding a mark or having the sample analysed, therefore without an identification mark on the product at hand it can prove very difficult if not impossible for a layman to see whether or not a sheet contains Asbestos. Finding product marks on various materials in most cases can be a big problem as with slate for example, the mark was ink jetted on to the products approximately on one in twenty products distributed, showing the same letter denoting whether they contain Asbestos or not.Taking this in to consideration, a quantity of slates will more than likely need to be removed before finding the identity mark, so in these cases unless you have good solid evidence to prove that the material in place is a non-asbestos product, they should be treated as an Asbestos cement from the get go.
