In 1990, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) published its "Standard Practice for Visual Inspection of Asbestos Abatement Projects (E 1368-90)". Its application goes beyond removal work, also helping participants in Operations and Maintenance programs.
Specifically, it offers guidance on looking for conditions that, if not corrected during removal, repair, or O&M work, could result in the incomplete removal of residue, dust and debris. It also details how to examine a work area for evidence that a project has been successfully completed.
