Performance Test results may be used in determining the start of the warranty period for HVAC systems and subsystems. During the site inspection, the inspector grouped suspect asbestos-containing materials into homogeneous areas (HA's), with any given homogeneous area being a material exhibiting the same color, texture, and physical appearance. Each suspect homogeneous area was sampled in accordance with EPA protocol, and each sample collected was given a unique identification number. Collected samples were analyzed by an AIHA accredited laboratory using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) and the dispersion staining technique, which is the EPA-approved method for the analysis of bulk materials for the presence of asbestos. This report summarizes the findings of the inspection, the report includes: o Asbestos Materials Summary Form(s), which detail all the asbestos-containing materials that were discovered during the inspection. o Homogeneous Area Summary Forms, which details all HA's that were identified during the inspection and includes both asbestos-containing materials and non-asbestos materials. o Facility Drawing(s), which show locations where asbestos materials are present in the facility. o Photograph(s), to assist with interpreting the report. o Bulk Analysis Report(s), which show the analytical results from the laboratory for the PLM analysis.
