Inspector, laboratory, contractor: who does what?

The right professional, relevant qualifications and a clear assignment.

Understand the process

The right document does not replace the right professional. Sertic prepares introductions and checks that professional credentials match the assignment. A directory listing alone does not prove a partnership or approval for every activity.

Which professional for which assignment?

Sertic connects you with partners. Our removal partners hold FPS Employment approval for the relevant removal methods. Simple treatments use a separate list or an already approved contractor. For a Flemish asbestattest, we use an expert certified through the OVAM system; for analyses, a laboratory approved for the assignment. Documents and validity are checked before assignment.

FPS approval and registration are different

The approval register covers methods including glove bags and hermetically sealed areas, subject to approval scope. The simple-treatment list is based on a declaration not verified in advance by FPS Employment. Check the permitted method and credentials rather than relying on a general ‘asbestos approved’ badge.

Before accepting the assignment

Legal name, enterprise/VAT number, insurance, qualification validity and scope should be identifiable. The offer states price, included analyses, extras requiring agreement and deliverables. The Sertic form prepares these checks; it is neither an order nor a payment.

What changed in December 2025

The federal reform applies from 22 December 2025. It strengthens competency requirements for inventories and worker exposure prevention. For your project, check the professional’s qualifications, the affected materials and the planned method before work begins.

Material analysis and air monitoring are different tasks

Asbestos identification in materials falls under group 6 of the FPS Employment laboratory register. An analysis concerns the submitted sample, not automatically the entire room or building. The inventory report links results to the materials and locations inspected.

Which laboratory for fibre measurements?

Airborne asbestos fibre measurements require a different approval scope, listed in group 2. The professional determines necessary checks according to the removal method and site conditions. Check the laboratory, its approval scope and validity for the assignment.
