Laboratory Services

Laboratory TestingLaboratory

OCTIEF operates NATA accredited laboratories servicing a wide range of industrial, environmental and occupational testing requirements.

OCTIEF is the first, and currently only, laboratory that provides NATA accredited analysis for all six asbestos fibre types in bulk samples – Chrysotile, Crocidolite, Amosite, Actinolite, Anthophyllite, Tremolite.

 

OCTIEF can also assist in distinguishing between non-friable asbestos cement type boards and friable asbestos insulating type boards (including low density asbestos fibre board (LDB)) with our Asbestos Water Absorption (Friability Test). This is useful, as from 1st May 2021 WorkSafe QLD have confirmed that low density asbestos fibre board (LDB), also known as asbestos insulating board, will be classified as a friable material in all circumstances. This means it can only legally be removed by a class A asbestos removal licence holder. If you’re unsure on whether an in-situ material is a non-friable asbestos cement type board or a friable asbestos insulating type board we can help!
