This Standard specifies matters concerning determination of the presence of asbestos in samples taken from building products; namely, the analytical sample preparation method (primary and secondary analytical samples), the qualitative analysis method using an X-ray diffractometer and a dispersion staining phase-contrast microscope, and the method for determination of the presence of asbestos. This Standard is not applicable to natural minerals which can contain asbestos or any products made of such natural minerals (excluding spraying material made of vermiculite).
