Reliable asbestos inventory
An asbestos inventory is a document showing where and to what extent asbestos is present in a building. For each building material containing asbestos, you will find advice on its management or removal. The asbestos inventory certificate, or asbestos certificate for short, is the result of an asbestos inventory that assesses the asbestos safety of a building. In many cases, it is mandatory. ECCA helps you to be legally compliant.
Legal obligation
Such an inventory or asbestos certificate is required by law in several cases:
- Employers who employ workers in a building must have an asbestos inventory of their building in Belgium
- From 23 November 2022, an asbestos certificate is legally required in the event of a sale of a pre-2001 building in Flanders
- (From 2025, an asbestos certificate of the common parts of a building is legally required when selling a building unit within this building in Flanders)
- From 2032, an asbestos certificate must be drawn up for every pre-2001 building in Flanders, regardless of any sale
Process of an asbestos inventory
Whatever form your building has, everyone can come to us for an inventory. In doing so, we first gather all technical information about your building and then conduct an on-site survey.
Depending on the purpose and use of the building, we perform a different type of survey:
- A non-destructive investigation requires only an inspection of observable materials. For an asbestos certificate, a non-destructive* examination is sufficient.
- In the case of destructive investigation, the sub- and intermediate materials are also included in the inventory. You will then also receive a more extensive inventory before the work starts.
And we do more: our certified asbestos experts give you detailed advice. This is how ECCA helps you concretely to be legally compliant.
(*limited damage inherent to sampling is not considered destructive testing)
