Frequently Asked Questions

Do asbestos testing laboratories need to be accredited in New South Wales?
In New South Wales, as across Australia, asbestos identification should be done by a laboratory accredited by NATA (the National Association of Testing Authorities) to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard, so results are reliable and accepted by regulators. Sampling and analysis follow the Safe Work Australia code of practice referenced by SafeWork NSW.
How do I collect and send an asbestos sample in New South Wales?
Keep the suspect material damp, take a small piece into a sealed and labelled bag, and avoid sanding, drilling or breaking it. Note where in the building each sample came from so the lab can report on each material. If you are unsure how to sample safely, a NATA-accredited lab or a licensed assessor in New South Wales can collect it for you.
How long do asbestos test results take?
Most NATA-accredited laboratories can provide standard asbestos analysis results within 3-5 business days. Priority or urgent services are often available for an additional fee, with results typically returned within 24-48 hours.
What is NATA accreditation?
NATA is the National Association of Testing Authorities. When a lab is NATA-accredited under ISO/IEC 17025, it means they have been independently assessed and shown to use validated testing methods with proper quality controls. For asbestos analysis, this is the standard you should expect from any lab you use.
How are asbestos samples collected and tested?
A trained sampler wets the suspect material to keep fibres down, cuts or breaks off a small piece, and seals it in a labelled bag. At the lab, the sample is examined under polarised light microscopy (PLM). If the result is ambiguous, dispersion staining or transmission electron microscopy may be used. The report will say whether asbestos is present and name the fibre type, usually chrysotile, amosite, or crocidolite. For air monitoring, a membrane filter cassette is attached to a calibrated pump worn by a worker or placed in the area being tested. Fibres on the filter are then counted under a phase-contrast microscope using the NOHSC:3003 membrane filter method.
