Testing Services for Your Work

Your jobs, mapped to the right test

What you typically need

Pre-demo asbestos sampling

NESHAP / AHERA · EPA 40 CFR 61 Subpart M

EPA NESHAP requires an asbestos survey before any demolition or renovation that could disturb regulated ACM. We run bulk PLM and TEM identification on representative samples from all homogeneous areas. Reports are formatted for submission to the regulating authority.

Asbestos analysis →

Post-abatement clearance

AHERA · NIOSH 7400 PCM · EPA TEM

Clearance air sampling by NIOSH 7400 PCM or TEM (when required by the regulator or contract spec) confirms fiber levels are below the permitted threshold before you release the regulated area. Standard PCM results same-day or 24 hours; TEM within 48 hours.

Asbestos analysis →

Lead RRP compliance

EPA 40 CFR Part 745 · HUD Guidelines

Post-renovation dust-wipe clearance demonstrates compliance with the EPA RRP Rule for pre-1978 residential and child-occupied facilities. We report against the EPA clearance limits (40 µg/ft² floors, 250 µg/ft² interior sills) and format reports for your client file.

Lead testing →

OSHA lead air monitoring

29 CFR 1926.62 · 1910.1025 · NIOSH 7082

Personal breathing-zone and area air monitoring for lead during disturbance work. Results reported against the Action Level (30 µg/m³) and PEL (50 µg/m³). Supports your exposure-assessment records and satisfies OSHA documentation requirements.

Lead testing →

TCLP on demolition waste

EPA RCRA · SW-846 Method 1311 · 40 CFR Part 261

RCRA-8 TCLP leachate testing characterizes demolition debris as hazardous or non-hazardous before disposal. Knowing the classification before the dumpster arrives saves schedule and avoids costly mis-characterization penalties. Results in 5 business days.

TCLP →

Post-remediation mold

AIHA EMLAP · ACGIH Guidelines

Clearance spore-trap and surface tape lift cassettes confirm that post-remediation conditions match or better the background control samples collected before work began. AIHA EMLAP-accredited results support your project documentation and client sign-off.

Mold analysis →

We test. We never remediate.

IRIS is exclusively an analytical laboratory. We hold no contractor licenses, we perform no remediation, and we will never solicit your clients for abatement work. Your client relationships are protected. Every wholesale partner gets this in writing.

Common Questions

Questions contractors ask us

What is your turnaround for post-abatement clearance?

PCM air results are standard 24 hours, with same-day (4-hour) rush available. TEM clearance is 48 hours standard. For abatement jobs on a tight schedule, call us before the job starts and we will reserve same-day capacity.

Do you do field sampling, or only lab analysis?

Both. Our field professionals collect air, bulk, wipe, and clearance samples under full chain-of-custody. Field science is separate from remediation — your client relationship and scope of work are not affected. We come to your job site.
