Asbestos Property Surveys - Type 1, 2 and 3

Type 1: Location and assessment survey (presumptive survey)
In this type of survey no actual sampling is carried out, so there is no positive identification of ACMs (asbestos containing materials). However, the purpose of the survey is to locate, as far as reasonably practicable, presumed ACMs (asbestos containing materials) and assess the extent of which they were used and their condition. .

Type 2: Standard sampling, identification and assessment survey (sampling survey)
The procedures used for this type of survey are the same as for a type 1, however in this case representative samples of the ACMs (asbestos containing materials) are collected and analysed to confirm or refute the suspected presence of asbestos. Sampling may take place simultaneously with the survey or be carried out after the type 1 survey is complete. Condition of the ACMs (asbestos containing materials) in question must also be assessed.

Type 3: Full access sampling and identification survey (pre-demolition/major refurbishment survey). This survey may involve destructive inspection to gain access to all areas of the building to locate and describe, as far as reasonably practicable, all ACMs (asbestos containing materials )in the building. A full sampling programme is undertaken to identify ACMs (asbestos containing materials) and the extent to which they are used (volume and surface area). This type of survey is designed to be used as a basis for tendering the removal of ACMs (asbestos containing materials) before demolition or major refurbishment so an assessment of the condition of ACMs (asbestos containing materials) present is not necessary.
