Independent testing and formal clearance certificates provided
Why professional asbestos air clearance is essential
After asbestos removal, visual checks alone are not enough — microscopic fibres can remain suspended or settled in dust. Air clearance testing confirms whether airborne asbestos levels meet the required limits for safe re‑occupation.
C&A works with independent hygienists to collect clearance samples, send them to NATA‑accredited labs for analysis, and provide a formal clearance certificate you can rely on for compliance and peace of mind.
Independent sampling
Third‑party hygienists collect air samples to ensure impartial results.
Clearance certificates
Formal documentation issued after passing clearance testing for your records.

How asbestos air clearance testing works
Prep and visual inspection
Site is inspected after removal and cleaning. Areas of concern are identified and sampling locations agreed with the client and hygienist.
Air sampling by a hygienist
Air samples are collected using calibrated pumps and filters at predetermined locations representative of the space.
NATA analysis & reporting
Samples are sent to NATA‑accredited labs for microscopy analysis. Results are compiled in a report with a clear pass/fail outcome and recommendations if needed.
Clearance certificate issued
A formal clearance certificate and laboratory report are issued on successful clearance. If results exceed limits, we coordinate remedial cleaning and re‑sampling until clearance is achieved.
Accreditation, impartiality and documentation
C&A Asbestos Removal delivers testing through independent, qualified hygienists and reputable NATA‑accredited laboratories. This separation ensures impartiality of sampling and analysis and provides regulators, insurers and buyers with trusted documentation.
Impartial sampling
Where required we arrange an independent hygienist to perform air clearance sampling so results are fully defensible in regulatory or commercial settings.
NATA‑analysed results
Filters are forwarded to NATA‑accredited labs for microscopy analysis. You receive a lab report and a formal clearance certificate if results meet acceptance criteria.
We keep full chain‑of‑custody records and provide all documentation required for workplace safety files, strata records or property transactions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an air clearance test?
An air clearance test measures airborne asbestos fibres after removal and cleaning. Samples are collected on filters and analysed by microscopy to confirm whether airborne levels are below the acceptance criteria for re‑occupation.
Who performs the sampling and issues the certificate?
We coordinate qualified, independent hygienists for sampling where required. Samples are analysed by NATA‑accredited laboratories. A formal clearance certificate is issued when results meet the required criteria.
How long before I get the results?
Standard results are typically available within 2–5 business days from sample receipt at the lab. Faster turnaround can be arranged for urgent matters—call us to discuss immediate options.
If the site fails clearance, what happens next?
If results exceed limits, we coordinate remedial cleaning and re‑sampling with the hygienist until clearance is achieved. We manage the process and provide ongoing documentation for your records.
