AC&MS Ltd shall be entitled to rely upon information supplied by the Client or others acting on the Client’s behalf.
The Company shall not be responsible for errors, omissions or additional costs arising from inaccurate, incomplete or misleading information supplied by others.

Failure to provide such information may affect the scope, duration or outcome of the Services.

8. SURVEY & SERVICE CONDITIONS
8.1 General
AC&MS Ltd shall undertake all Services exercising the reasonable skill, care and diligence expected of a competent professional asbestos consultancy.
All surveys, inspections, sampling and analytical services shall be undertaken in accordance with current legislation, recognised industry guidance and the Company’s documented procedures applicable at the time the Services are performed.
Unless specifically agreed otherwise in writing, Services are undertaken on a representative sampling basis and should not be interpreted as confirming the presence or absence of asbestos in every concealed location.
8.2 Access Limitations
The accuracy and completeness of any survey is dependent upon the areas made available for inspection.
The Company cannot inspect areas which are:
– Inaccessible
– Locked
– Obstructed
– Unsafe
– Permanently sealed
– Concealed by fixtures, finishes or stored contents; or
– Otherwise unavailable at the time of attendance
Such areas shall normally be identified within the Report together with recommendations where further inspection may be appropriate.
8.3 Concealed Materials
The Client acknowledges that asbestos containing materials may remain concealed within the building structure and may not be identified where they cannot reasonably be accessed without causing damage beyond the agreed scope of inspection.
Accordingly, the absence of asbestos within the Report shall not be interpreted as confirmation that asbestos is absent from all concealed areas.
8.4 Representative Sampling
Where materials of similar appearance, construction and location are encountered, representative sampling may be undertaken in accordance with current industry guidance.
The analytical result obtained from a representative sample shall normally be considered representative of similar materials unless subsequent evidence indicates otherwise.
8.5 Presumption
Where materials cannot reasonably be sampled or safely accessed, AC&MS Ltd may recommend that the material is presumed to contain asbestos until proven otherwise.
Such recommendations are provided in the interests of safety and regulatory compliance and shall not be interpreted as laboratory confirmation of asbestos.
8.6 Management Surveys
Management Surveys are designed to locate, as far as reasonably practicable, the presence and extent of asbestos containing materials which could be disturbed during normal occupation, routine maintenance or foreseeable day-to-day activities.
Management Surveys are not intended to locate all asbestos concealed within the fabric of a building.
The level of intrusion is intentionally limited to minimise unnecessary damage to the property whilst obtaining sufficient information to enable the Client to manage asbestos risks.
Where inaccessible areas remain, these shall normally be identified within the Report together with any recommendations for future inspection.
8.7 Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys
Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys are designed to identify asbestos containing materials within the areas affected by the proposed works.
These surveys are significantly more intrusive than Management Surveys and may require damage to finishes, fixtures and building elements in order to inspect concealed voids and construction details.
The Client acknowledges that intrusive inspection is an essential part of this survey type.
Unless specifically agreed otherwise, reinstatement following intrusive inspection is not included within the Company’s appointment.
8.8 Extent of Intrusion
The extent of intrusive inspection shall be determined by the Company’s professional judgement, considering:
– The proposed scope of works
– Accessibility
– Health and safety considerations
– Structural stability
– Occupied status
– Client restrictions
– Any other relevant factors
Where further intrusive inspection is considered necessary, appropriate recommendations shall be included within the Report.
8.9 Plain Plaster Ceilings
During Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys, plain plaster ceilings may require intrusive inspection where necessary to adequately identify concealed asbestos containing materials relevant to the proposed works.
The extent of such intrusion shall be determined by the Surveyor’s professional judgement, taking account of the scope of works, construction type and any visible indicators of concealed asbestos.
Where intrusive inspection is restricted by the Client or is otherwise not reasonably practicable, this shall be recorded within the Report together with any limitations and recommendations for further investigation before refurbishment or demolition proceeds.
8.10 Reinspection Surveys
Reinspection Surveys are undertaken to reassess the condition of previously identified asbestos containing materials and determine whether their condition or risk has materially changed since the previous inspection.
Unless specifically instructed otherwise, Reinspection Surveys do not normally include additional intrusive inspection or extensive sampling beyond that necessary to confirm the current condition of known asbestos containing materials.
8.11 Third Party Surveys
Where AC&MS Ltd undertakes a reinspection of asbestos containing materials originally identified by another organisation, the Company relies upon the accuracy of the original survey information unless obvious discrepancies are identified during the inspection.
The reinspection should not be interpreted as re-validating the entirety of the original survey.
Should significant discrepancies be identified, AC&MS Ltd reserves the right to recommend that a replacement survey be undertaken.
8.12 Duty to Manage
Where a Management Survey has been completed, the Client acknowledges that the survey itself does not constitute an Asbestos Management Plan.
The Client remains responsible for ensuring that appropriate arrangements are in place for the ongoing management, monitoring and review of asbestos containing materials in accordance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
Where requested, AC&MS Ltd can provide assistance in the preparation or review of an Asbestos Management Plan under a separate appointment.
9. SPECIALIST SERVICES
9.1 Bulk Sampling
Where instructed, AC&MS Ltd shall obtain representative samples of suspect materials for laboratory analysis.
Sampling is intended to determine whether asbestos is present within the material sampled and shall not be interpreted as confirming the composition of all visually similar materials throughout the property unless specifically stated within the Report.
9.2 Client Supplied Samples
Where samples are supplied by the Client or another party, AC&MS Ltd accepts no responsibility for:
– The origin of the sample
– The method of collection
– The representativeness of the sample
– Contamination occurring before receipt
– Damage caused during collection by others
The Company’s responsibility shall be limited to analysing the material submitted.
9.3 Laboratory Analysis
Laboratory analysis shall be undertaken in accordance with recognised analytical procedures applicable at the time of testing.
Analytical results relate only to the sample received and shall not automatically be interpreted as representative of any other material unless expressly stated.
9.4 Air Monitoring
Where instructed, AC&MS Ltd may undertake:
– Background Air Monitoring
– Leak Air Monitoring
– Personal Air Monitoring
– Reassurance Air Testing
– Four Stage Clearance Testing
– Other analytical air monitoring services
Air monitoring results represent airborne fibre concentrations at the time of testing only.
Subsequent disturbance, deterioration or alteration of the property may affect future airborne fibre concentrations.
9.5 Four Stage Clearance Testing
Four Stage Clearance Testing shall be undertaken in accordance with current legislation and recognised industry guidance.
The successful completion of a Four Stage Clearance confirms that the enclosure complied with the applicable clearance criteria at the time of inspection.
It does not constitute a guarantee that future disturbance, damage or deterioration will not result in the subsequent release of asbestos fibres.
9.6 Non-Licensed Asbestos Removal
Where instructed, AC&MS Ltd may undertake non-licensed asbestos removal works where such works fall within the Company’s competence and are permitted by current legislation.
Removal works shall be undertaken in accordance with applicable legislation, recognised industry guidance and the Company’s documented procedures.
9.7 Licensed Asbestos Removal
AC&MS Ltd does not undertake licensed asbestos removal.
Where licensed asbestos removal is required, AC&MS Ltd may, if instructed, obtain quotations from licensed asbestos removal contractors, provide consultancy, project management, contract administration and independent analytical services associated with those works.
The licensed removal works themselves shall always be undertaken by an appropriately licensed removal contractor appointed for that purpose.
Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, AC&MS Ltd shall not be responsible for the workmanship, contractual performance or statutory obligations of the licensed asbestos removal contractor.
9.8 Specialist Sampling
Where instructed, AC&MS Ltd may obtain samples for specialist laboratory analysis including, but not limited to:
– Lead Paint
– Anthrax
– Soil
– Other environmental materials
Where specialist analysis is undertaken by an external laboratory, AC&MS Ltd shall exercise reasonable care in selecting a competent laboratory but accepts no responsibility for the analytical methods or conclusions of that laboratory.
The Company’s responsibility shall be limited to obtaining representative samples in accordance with the agreed scope of works.
10. REPORTS & DELIVERABLES
10.1 General
Reports issued by AC&MS Ltd represent the Company’s professional opinion based upon:
– Information made available at the time of attendance

Where limitations, exclusions or recommendations are identified within a Report, these form an integral part of the Company’s findings and should be considered alongside all other information contained within the document.
10.3 Changes Following Inspection
The condition of asbestos containing materials may change over time due to:
– Deterioration
– Accidental damage
– Refurbishment
– Maintenance
– Environmental conditions
– Vandalism
– Or other unforeseen circumstances
Accordingly, Reports represent the condition of the property only at the time of inspection.
10.4 Additional Discoveries
Where previously concealed asbestos containing materials are discovered after completion of the Services, such discoveries shall not automatically be interpreted as evidence that the original survey or inspection was negligent or incomplete.
Further inspection may be necessary, where additional building elements become accessible or where the scope of proposed works changes.
10.5 Electronic Reports
Reports may be issued electronically.
The Client is responsible for ensuring that electronic copies are retained securely and distributed only to those persons requiring access for the purposes of asbestos management or the proposed works.
10.6 Corrections
