What CPD accredited really means
- CPD is a continuing training record, not a government licence.
- South African asbestos rules ask for a competent person.
- Competence means knowledge, training and practical asbestos experience.
- Ask for course certificates plus a sample of past reports.
Sampling and laboratory work
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for confirmation.
- Bulk samples are usually analysed by polarised light microscopy.
- Ask for the laboratory certificate to be attached to your report.
- Air monitoring is a separate job for an approved inspection authority.
Survey scope and report
- A test checks one material. A survey covers the whole building.
- A basic survey will not open sealed ceiling voids or screeds.
- Renovation or demolition needs a deeper, intrusive survey first.
- Your report should list each material, its condition and a recommendation.
Approval for CPD accredited asbestos surveyors
- Employers must have asbestos identified, inventoried and risk assessed by a competent person.
- The risk assessment must be repeated at intervals not exceeding 24 months.
- Clearance certificates come from an approved inspection authority, not the removal contractor.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a CPD accredited asbestos surveyor cost?
A home survey runs about R2 500 – R6 000, plus R700 – R1 500 per laboratory sample. Workplace surveys start from ±R6 855 excluding VAT.
Does the law require my surveyor to be CPD accredited?
The regulations require a competent person with knowledge, training and practical experience. A CPD certificate can support that, but check field experience too.
Will a buyer or bank want a survey report?
There is no statutory asbestos certificate for property transfer. Your bank or insurer may still ask for a survey report with laboratory results.
What is the difference between a survey and a single test?
A test analyses one sample to confirm one material. A survey walks the whole building and records every suspect material and its condition.
Should I clean my asbestos roof before the survey?
No. High-pressure cleaning strips the surface and releases fibres, so leave the roof untouched.
