Asbestos warning
⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNING

Do not test for asbestos yourself!

Taking samples yourself carries considerable health and liability risks! Even the slightest damage or careless scratching of asbestos-containing materials releases carcinogenic microfibres into the indoor air. Do not rely on unreliable DIY kits.

🛡️ Have material samples taken on site only by certified specialists in accordance with TRGS 519 Annex 3 – legally sound and safe!

Original review in German

Anfangs dachte ich, Asbestcheck sei nur eine Vermittlungsplattform – tatsächlich handelt es sich aber um ein eigenständiges, absolut professionelles Unternehmen. Die Beratung war top, die Kommunikation transparent und der gesamte Ablauf schnell und unkompliziert. Auch das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis überzeugt. Ich kann Asbestcheck uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen, Danke für die Unterstützung George.

Why a hazardous substance analysis is essential

Protecting health, legal certainty and sound financial planning for building work.

For private individuals

  • Protect the health of your family and children from carcinogenic microfibres.
  • Avoid invisible asbestos release during renovation, sanding or breaking through walls.
  • Legal certainty when disposing of construction waste at landfill sites.
  • Clarity before buying an older property – avoid hidden remediation costs.
  • Preserve value and provide transparent proof that the property is free of pollutants when you sell.

For architects, developers & companies

  • Compliance with the German Occupational Safety and Health Act and the Hazardous Substances Ordinance (GefStoffV).
  • Protection of the tradespeople and subcontractors working on site.
  • Avoid costly construction stoppages and damage claims caused by unexpected asbestos finds.
  • Reduced liability for planning offices thanks to thorough building fabric diagnostics in advance.
  • Documented proof for the building supervisory authority and waste disposal authorities.
Hazardous Substances Ordinance 2024/2025

Asbestos clarification for trades and construction companies

When working in buildings whose construction began before 31 October 1993, asbestos-containing building materials must be expected. If the client's information is not sufficient for the risk assessment, a technical investigation may be required.

We support painters, tilers, drywall installers, installation companies and construction firms with professional sampling, accredited laboratory analysis and a test report clearly assigned to each sample.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Quick and transparent answers to the most important questions about asbestos analysis and sampling.

Can I take an asbestos sample myself?

We strongly advise against it. Asbestos fibres are microscopically small, highly carcinogenic and damage the lungs. Improper DIY tests (e.g. breaking or scratching the material) can release dangerous asbestos fibres that remain in the indoor air for a long time. Professional sampling according to TRGS 519 Annex 3 is carried out with low emissions and with suitable protective measures.

How long does the asbestos analysis take in the laboratory?

Once we have taken the sample professionally on site, it is sent immediately to an accredited German laboratory. The certified result (SEM/EDX analysis, scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis) is usually available after 3 to 5 working days and is provided to you as a digital test report.

In which regions does AsbestCheck offer its services?

We mainly carry out our analyses and sampling in Baden-Württemberg (Tübingen, Mössingen, Reutlingen, Stuttgart, Böblingen, Zollernalbkreis). On request, we also handle large commercial projects in other regions.

Why is AsbestCheck 100% independent?

Unlike many remediation companies, we carry out only the hazardous substance analysis. We have no financial interest in pushing a positive result in order to sell expensive follow-up work. Our sole focus is on objective analysis results and protecting your health.

Dust & indoor air testing

Qualitative or semi-quantitative?

Qualitative (material sample, VDI 3866 Part 5 – German VDI guideline for asbestos in materials): SEM/EDX analysis in the accredited laboratory to determine whether asbestos is present and which type of asbestos. Result: "detected" / "not detected". The detection limit of the standard method is approx. 1 percent by mass; by preparing the sample (e.g. ashing or acid treatment, for instance for plasters, fillers and adhesives) it can be lowered to approx. 0.1 % and below.

Semi-quantitative: additionally an estimate of the amount, given as a classification into classes – not an exact measured value. For material samples, the asbestos content is estimated in mass-percent classes (e.g. traces, 1–5 %, 5–20 %, 20–50 %, over 50 %; the exact classification is stated in the laboratory report).

Surface dust (VDI 3877 Part 1 – VDI guideline for surface dust, adhesive tape sample): The fibres are counted per cm² and rated in classes – from "not detected" and "detected" to "significantly" or "heavily contaminated"; detection limit approx. 40 fibres per cm². A dust sample says nothing about the contamination of the indoor air – that requires an indoor air measurement according to VDI 3492 (VDI guideline for indoor air).
