Testing is required by the Federal Government and State of Massachusetts when performing demolition or renovations. The MassDEP Asbestos Regulation 310 CMR 7.15(4) requires that prior to any demolition or renovation activity, the owner/operator must engage an Asbestos Inspector, who has been certified by the Department of Labor Standards (DLS), to conduct a thorough inspection to identify the presence, location, and quantity of any asbestos containing material (ACM) or suspect ACM (310 CMR 7.15(4)) that may be present in the area to be worked on.
