    This British Standard specifies requirements for equipment for the controlled wetting of asbestos-containing material (ACM) by injection or spraying of liquid to suppress the release of airborne asbestos fibres.

    It is applicable to the wetting of ACM by:

    • multipoint injection of sprayed coatings, insulating board, thermal insulation and coatings on pipes, tanks and vessels;

    • spraying with low-pressure spray heads of insulating board and other materials less than 10mm thick.
