WHAT IS WATER ABSORPTION TESTING?

Water absorption testing is a UKAS accredited service, which is used to differentiate whether a material is asbestos insulating board (AIB) or asbestos cement. AIB is a licensed material, and a higher risk than non-licensed asbestos cement, and therefore requires greater controls and licensed removal. As such, working with this material costs significantly more. Often people mistake AIB for cement and vice versa, but the rule for asbestos is to presume the worst-case scenario.  CAR2012 dictates that if any uncertainty is shown, then a soak test will determine the material. TTL PLC is one of a handful of companies within the UK which is UKAS accredited for such a test. The test involves calculating how much water is absorbed in a certain time frame and is devised from HSG248 The Analysts Guide. This then determines if the material is asbestos insulating board or asbestos cement.

DO I REQUIRE A WATER ABSORPTION TEST?

Asbestos insulating board is a licensed, notifiable product, and requires stricter controls over any removal works. These types of removal works are required to be undertaken by a licensed asbestos removal contractor (LARC), which are governed by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Failure to correctly remove any licensed products can lead to unnecessary exposure to asbestos fibres, costly fines, and even criminal prosecution. Asbestos cement is a non-licensed material and does not require the removal works to be undertaken by a LARC, but this type of removal does have certain restrictions on the removal process. With a water absorption test certificate, you will have the confidence of knowing what material(s) you are planning to remove, and this will save any unnecessary costs from the asbestos removal process. We have saved our clients millions of pounds in unnecessary removal costs through the carrying out of this service.
