ABSTRACT
This report presents the performance results of laboratories partici-
pating in the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth rounds of the Bulk
Sample Analysis Quality Assurance Program sponsored by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency, (EPA). Round 16 of the program operated
along the guidelines established in previous rounds and was a voluntary
quality assurance program which did not seek to accredit laboratories. Any
commercial or noncommercial organization with facilities for polarized light
microscope (PLM) analysis of bulk samples may have participated in the pro-
gram. Results of commercial laboratories for Round 16 were published in the
report Commercial Laboratories with Polarized Light Microscope Capabilities
for Bulk Asbestos Identification, Interim Listing Number 23.
The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act of 1986 (AHERA), directed
the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), formerly the
National Bureau of Standards, to establish and maintain a laboratory accred-
itation program for bulk sample analysis of asbestos. To meet the intent of
AHERA, EPA required laboratories interested 1n analyzing AHERA bulk samples
to enroll 1n the EPA "Interim Laboratory Accreditation Program." The
Interim Laboratory Accreditation Program operated for a one year period as a
continuation of the EPA Bulk Sample Analysis Quality Assurance Program,
Rounds 17 and 18. The program was, of course, no longer voluntary for labs
analyzing AHERA samples, and the criteria by which laboratories were evalu-
ated were changed to accommodate the accreditation requirements imposed by
AHERA. This program began in October 1988 by evaluating enrolled PLM labo-
ratories 1n the Interim prior to the initiation of the National Voluntary
Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) for bulk asbestos laboratories,
sponsored by NIST.
In previous rounds, laboratories had been assigned a score based on the
correct classification of each audit sample. Classification refers to the
designation of sample as either asbestos- or nonasbestos-containing. If,
for example, a laboratory correctly determined four asbestos-containing
samples to be positive for asbestos, they were assigned a score of 4/4.
In the Interim Laboratory Accreditation Program, laboratories were
accredited based on the correct classification of each of four bulk samples
iii
-------
-as to the presence or absence of asbestos, as well as the identification of
and quantification of the type(s) of asbestos, 1f any, in each sample.
Six hundred sixteen, 753, and 1,002 laboratories were active partici-
pants In Rounds 16, 17, and 18, respectively. In Round 17 and 18, 648 labo-
ratories and 972 laboratories, 'respectively, received accredited status.
This report is submitted in fulfillment of contract numbers 68-02-4125
and 68-02-4550 by Research Triangle Institute under the sponsorship of the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This report covers the period from
February, 1987 to August, 1988. Work was completed as of August, 1988.

SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Asbestos-In-Schools
Program designates polarized light microscopy (PLM), supplemented when nec-
essary by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), as the recommended method for
detecting asbestos in friable materials. In January 1980, a quality assur-
ance (QA) program was initiated for laboratories capable of performing PLM
analysis of bulk samples. The goals of the program were twofold: first, to
assist laboratories in developing reliable PLM analytical capability by
providing an independent check on data quality and by supplying character-
ized samples for use in internal quality control; and second, to facilitate
public access to PLM laboratories. Commercial and noncommercial organiza-
tions with PLM analytical capabilities were eligible to participate in the
EPA-QA program. Participation in this interlaboratory testing program did
not lead to accreditation for bulk asbestos sample analysis by PLM. Rather,
participating commercial laboratories and their performance ratings for
Round 16 were listed in a report, Commercial Laboratories with Polarized
Light Microscope Capabilities for Bulk Asbestos Identification, which was
updated with each round.
The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA), House Record 5073
was enacted in October, 1986. AHERA required that laboratories which ana-
lyze bulk insulation samples taken from public or private elementary or
secondary schools be accredited by the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST), formerly the National Bureau of Standards. Accreditation
was to be administered through the NIST's National Voluntary Laboratory
Accreditation Program (NVLAP). After funding was identified, the NVLAP
program required one year of development prior to implementation. To meet
the need for an accrediting mechanism in the period prior to the implementa-
tion of the NIST/NVLAP Program, the EPA bulk sample analysis quality assur-
ance program was continued as the Interim Laboratory Accreditation Program.
The Federal Register, Volume 52, number 171, dated September 3, 1987
announced that the bulk sample analysis quality assurance program would
serve as the EPA Interim Laboratory Accreditation Program until the NIST
1-1
-------
NVLAP was operational. At that time, the National Institute of Standards
and Technology's NVLAP would accredit bulk sample analysis laboratories for
asbestos analysis. Successful participation in the Interim Laboratory
Accreditation Program (Rounds 17 and 18) was mandatory for laboratories
analyzing bulk samples taken from public or private, elementary or secondary
school buildings. The program involved testing of the ability of these
laboratories to perform bulk sample analysis for asbestos identification,
and was similar to the voluntary bulk sample analysis quality assurance
program in that four bulk test audit materials per test round were analyzed
with the EPA Interim Method^for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Insu-
lation Samples serving as the test protocol.
The materials used in the audit program were selected on the basis of
their homogeneity, "real-world" nature, and analytical difficulty. The
criteria used for selection of audit materials were to select the materials
that were the most challenging from an analytical standpoint, but still
representative of the samples or sample components that the laboratories
would routinely analyze.
The results of the analyses from the participants were evaluated on the
basis of, first; proper classification of the samples as asbestos-containing
or nonasbestos-containing, second; proper identification of the asbestos
type(s) present, if any, and finally; quantification of the amount of asbes-
tos present. Participants were allotted approximately twenty working days
from the receipt of the samples in which to complete their analyses and
return the results to EPA for evaluation. After notification of the evalua-
tion results, the participants had one week in which to contact EPA to ap-
peal any decisions, or return samples for confirmation analysis.
Information on the accreditation status of laboratories may be obtained
by contacting the Office of Toxic Substance's TSCA Assistance Office at
(202) 554-1404. Further information on enrollment into the NVLAP can be
obtained by contacting the National Institute of Standards and Technology at
(301) 975-4016. The following report describes the results of Rounds 16,
17, and 18, conducted during the '87/'88 fiscal year.

SECTION 2
PROCEDURES AND METHODS
This section reviews the procedures and methods followed in conducting
the bulk sample analysis quality assurance program for Round 16, which did
not accredit laboratories, and for Rounds 17 and 18, which served as the
accrediting vehicle for participants. Section 2.1 discusses the bulk sample
repository and the audit material selection process. Section 2.2. discusses
the distribution of samples and the various report formats used in Round 16.
Section 2.3 overviews the changes which took place in the program in order
to begin accreditation of laboratories, including the reference analysis of
the audit materials, laboratory accreditation criteria, distribution of the
samples to the participants and laboratory performance reports.
2.1 BULK SAMPLE STORAGE AND SELECTION
2.1.1 Bulk Sample Repository
Bulk sample materials for use in the QA program are stored on campus at
Research Triangle Institute in the EPA's National Asbestos Repository. The
repository contains mine grade asbestos supplied by asbestos mining compa-
nies, asbestos-containing insulation materials, asbestos substitutes and
nonasbestos materials that have been purchased or provided by manufacturers
or removal contractors. There are presently several hundred samples of
asbestos and nonasbestos materials stored in the repository. Bulk materials
are typically received from the suppliers in six gallon steel drums or other
suitable shipping containers. Upon receipt, the samples are logged into the
repository notebook and given sample identification numbers. Representative
portions of the material are then analyzed in the Optical Microscopy Labora-
tory for tentative characterization. When a material is selected for possi-
ble use in a test round, the container is taken to the sample custody area,
and then to the RTI Toxic Substances Laboratory, where individual samples
are packaged. This laboratory is equipped with high efficiency particulate
air filters installed in the hoods and workbenches to prevent fiber release
into the ambient atmosphere when packaging the samples.
2-1
-------
2.1.2 Selection of the Bulk Material Samples
Bulk materials selected for use in a quality assurance test round are
thoroughly analyzed for uniformity and homogeneity prior to distribution.
Portions of the entire lot are randomly selected and analyzed in the Optical
Microscopy Laboratory at RTI to determine sample suitability. Portions of
the sample lot are also analyzed by a reference laboratory for confirmation
analysis. The results of the analyses conducted by RTI and the reference
laboratory are compared, and if no significant difference exists, the
material is packaged for distribution. The reference analyses of the bulk
material samples for Rounds 16 and 17 were performed by the U.S. Department
of the Interior, Bureau of Mines, in Albany, Oregon. McCrone Research
Institute, Chicago, Illinois, performed the reference analyses of Round 18
samples.
The materials selected for use in an test round are chosen primarily on
basis of their "real-world" nature, homogeneity, and analytical difficulty.
The materials, for the most part, have been removed from buildings, and are
representative of the samples that a typical PLM laboratory encounters.
Samples with low asbestos content and features that will provide an analyti-
cal challenge to the microscopists are preferred; however, the most impor-
tant sample characteristic considered in the selection process is the homo-
geneity of the material.
The bulk sample 1s first examined with a low power (approximately
10-45X) stereo binocular microscope for gross characterization. At this
time, materials in the sample are tentatively identified based on
morphology, cleavage, color and other readily apparent physical
characteristics. Portions of the sample are mounted on microscope slides
using refractive index oils. Two to eight slides are then prepared for PLM
examination using material taken from representative subsamples of each
sample or each layer within a sample. These slides are examined at
magnifications ranging from approximately 40X to 400X with most
characterization done at 100X magnification.
The number of slides prepared and examined is determined by the ana-
lyst's experience and judgment of the component complexity and homogeneity
of each sample or layer within a sample. Sample component identification is
2-2
-------
performed at this time using the standard techniques of polarized light
microscopy, coupled with dispersion staining. The refractive Index or
indices, morphology, cleavage, pleochroism, birefringence, sign of elonga-
tion, extinction angle and dispersion staining colors of each of the sample
components are determined and recorded. When all components are identified,
quantisation of the amount of asbestos (if any) and other sample components
is performed.
The majority of the samples are suitable for homogenization, which has
several advantages over taking "pinch" subsamples for mounting on microscope
slides. A subsample of the material is placed into a 30ml_ blending chamber
atop a standard household blender. The blending action strips away much of
the binding agent adhering to the fibers and homogenizes the sample, making
the point counting technique easier, more accurate and convenient to per-
form. The point count technique, as outlined in the Interim Method, is used
to ensure that the amount of asbestos and other components 1n the sample is
relatively homogeneous. Additionally, a visual estimate of the sample's
contents 1s also performed using a low power stereo binocular microscope.
This visual estimate 1s then compared to the point count estimate to provide
further quantitative data. Discrepancies 1n the quantitation of the sample
components are resolved by a consensus of visual estimates and point counts
from a number of microscopists examining the sample.
If the results of the reference analysis agree with the RTI analysis
for a given bulk sample, the sample 1s then confirmed for distribution 1n
the test round. The reference analysis and RTI analysis must agree on the
following characteristics: classification of the bulk sample as asbestos-
containing or nonasbestos-containlng, agreement on the type(s) of asbestos,
composition of the other components of the sample, and general agreement on
the quantitative results from the sample analysis.
For samples with a low percent asbestos content, each vial is examined
using low power stereo zoom binoculars to determine the existence of visible
asbestos fibers prior to shipment. As a quality control check, ten percent
of all samples are examined using the polarized light microscope to identify
the fibers.

2.2 ROUND 16
2.2.1 Distribution of the Bulk Material Samples to Participating Laborato-
ries
A set of four bulk audit samples was sent via the U.S. Postal Service
to each laboratory enrolled in the QA program. The bulk samples were pack-
aged in 20 ml plastic vials, placed in a plastic bag, and inserted into
padded envelopes along with the reporting and coding forms, and the analysis
instructions. Laboratories were given twenty working days following sample
receipt to analyze the set of bulk audit materials and to return their com-
pleted analytical results to RTI.
The reporting form, coding form, and the instructions that were used by
the participating laboratory to process and record their analytical results
are included in Appendix A. The reporting form has data entry spaces for
indicating the identity of asbestos fibers, nonasbestos materials, and ana-
lytical methods and quantitative procedures used.
2.2.2 Laboratory Performance Reports
The evaluation of a laboratory's performance was based on the ability
to determine whether a bulk material sample did or did not contain greater
than one percent asbestos. A performance rating was calculated based on
the number of classification errors made by the laboratory. A classifica-
tion error could either be a false positive (i.e., a laboratory, classified a
nonasbestos sample as positive for asbestos) or a false negative (i.e., a
laboratory classified a sample having greater than one percent asbestos as
nonasbestos-containing).
Laboratory performance reports were sent to all enrolled laboratories
at the completion of each round (see Appendix B). These reports listed the
qualitative and quantitative results of the reference analysis for each bulk
sample, the participating laboratory's performance rating, the number of
false negatives and/or positives reported by the participating laboratory,
and a cumulative distribution for the percentage of asbestos reported in
each bulk sample by all participating laboratories. Identification errors
resulting from the incorrect identification of an asbestos type were also
indicated in the report to laboratories. Identification and quantitation
errors did not result in the reduction of a laboratory's performance rating.

-------
2.3 ROUNDS 17 AND 18
2.3.1 Reference Analysis of the Bulk Material Samples
Rounds 17 and 18 began the process of accrediting laboratories perform-
ing polarized light microscope analysis of bulk Insulation samples for
asbestos content. The analyses were performed 1n accordance with the tech-
niques outlined in the Interim Method, and as described previously in
Section 2.1.2.
In addition to examining the samples used in Rounds 17 and 18 with
polarized light microscopy, X-ray diffraction was also utilized to verify
sample composition when deemed necessary for confirmation of the PLM analy-
sis. Before any samples were selected for use in the test rounds, the anal-
yses must have agreed in terms of sample composition, asbestos presence or
absence, the type(s) of asbestos present, if any, and general agreement on
the quantitative estimates. The reference analyses, the RTI analyses and
the results of the X-ray diffraction analyses were compared for agreement,
and the samples were then confirmed for distribution in the rounds.
2.3.2 Laboratory Accreditation Criteria
The criteria by which laboratories were evaluated were redefined, since
the bulk sample analysis quality assurance program and its grading became
more stringent and inclusive beginning with Round 17. Correct classifica-
tion of all samples as asbestos-containing or nonasbestos-containing was
required by EPA for accreditation. A total of one hundred points was possi-
ble for each test sample, for a maximum possible score of 400. Eighty
points were awarded for each sample correctly classified as asbestos-
containing or nonasbestos-containing, ten points for correct quantisation of
the amount of asbestos, and ten points for proper Identification of the type
of asbestos. One hundred points were automatically awarded if a
nonasbestos-containing sample was correctly classified, as quantification
and identification did not come into play. If a laboratory determined that
a sample contained less than one percent asbestos, the sample was considered
nonasbestos-containing.
Any laboratory analyzing bulk material samples taken from public or
private, elementary or secondary schools is required by law to be accredit-
ed. A list of accredited laboratories was published after each round of
2-5
-------
the program and made available to the public by the EPA, Office of Toxic
Substance's (OTS) TSCA Assistance Office. Based on RTI reports, OTS also
provided each laboratory who qualified with a letter of accreditation.
2.3.3 Laboratory Performance Reports
Participants in Rounds 17 and 18 of the Interim Laboratory Accredita-
tion Program received notification of their accreditation status from the
Environmental Protection Agency after the completion of each round. The
previous system of performance ratings used prior to Round 17 was simply a
fractional score determined by listing the number of samples correctly clas-
sified divided by the four samples used in each round. The system used in
Rounds 17 and 18 for rating and accrediting laboratories took into consider-
ation the Identification and quantitation factors and incorporated them into
the grading scheme. The new laboratory performance report for Rounds 17 and
18 reflected the changes in the grading scheme and is shown in Appendix B.
The laboratory performance- report form listed the results from the
individual laboratory and indicated any classification, identification or
quantitation errors that were made 1n the data reported for each sample.
Also listed was a breakdown of each sample's components and the percentages
present, as determined by the preselected reference laboratories. The
acceptance ranges and the standard deviation for the quantitative data
appeared on the results reporting form along with a summary of quantitative
percentlles reported by all laboratories.
The qualitative performance rating, the number of false negatives,
false positives, identification rating, quantitative rating and the raw
score were presented 1n the upper right corner of the form. The accredita-
tion status was presented Immediately below this data.

SECTION 3
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1 ROUND 16
Prior to distribution of Round 16 bulk samples, a memorandum (see
Appendix A) was sent to each participating laboratory outlining modifica-
tions in the program resulting from the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response
Act of 1986 (AHERA). Laboratories were informed of increased emphasis to be
placed upon Identification and quantisation of asbestos fibers in bulk mate-
rials. In preparation for the new guidelines, and in order to collect more
reliable data regarding quantitation, RTI requested participants to devote
special attention to quantitation and identification of asbestos fibers in
Round 16 samples.
Round 16 samples were distributed on May 4, 1987. Four bulk samples
were sent to each of 681 participating laboratories (502 commercial and 179
noncommercial). Quantitative results were derived from 616 laboratories
that returned forms (451 commercial and 165 noncommercial).
Sample A was an asbestos-containing ceiling tile removed from a school
during an abatement project. The tile consisted of 3% amosite, 10% cellu-
lose, and 87% glass wool. This sample was used 1n a previous round and
quantitative results from both rounds are compared in the the following
text. Sample B consisted of 100% wollastonite. Wollastonite is a naturally
occurring calcium silicate (CaSi03), commonly fibrous, that may be confused
with tremolite-actinolite or anthophyllite asbestos. Sample C consisted of
5% polyethylene fibers in a carbonate matrix, marketed under the trade name
ThorotexQy. At first appearance, the fibers resemble chrysotile. This
sample was used in a previous round and quantitative results are compared
below. Sample D consists of 3% chrysotile in a matrix of vermiculite with
some gypsum and trace ferromagnesians. The asbestos fibers were heavily
coated with vermiculite and could be overlooked unless care was taken.
The qualitative results for Round 16 are presented in Table 1. Of the
2,464 samples analyzed in Round 16, 2,066 (83.8%) were classified correctly,
while 2,009 (81.5%) were classified and identified correctly. Misclassifi-
cations were reported for 398 samples, and the type of asbestos was incor-
rectly identified in an additional 57 samples.

-------
There were 38 false negatives and 42 Identification errors reported in
Sample A analyses. Nineteen laboratories reported no asbestos present and
19 reported amoslte present in quantities less than or equal to 1 percent.
Statistical analyses of Sample A quantitative results (Table 2) show the
mean to be 10.24 percent .asbestos, with a standard deviation of 11.31.
Table 2 also lists the results of the commercial and noncommercial partici-
pants for each of the samples. Of the 42 identification errors, 17 resulted
from laboratories reporting more than one type of asbestos, eight from labo-
ratories reporting the asbestos to be anthophyllite, seven from laboratories
reporting tremolite-actinollte, six from laboratories reporting chrysotile,
and four from laboratories reporting crocidolite.
There were 135 false positives reported for Sample B. These resulted
from laboratories Incorrectly Identifying wollastonlte as an asbestos miner-
al. Seventy-nine reported tremolite-actinolite, 31 reported anthophyllite,
four reported crocidolite, three reported amosite, one reported chrysotile,
and one reported unspecified asbestos. Thirteen laboratories correctly
Identifying the material as wollastonlte incorrectly reported it as a type
of asbestos. Two laboratories reported fiberglass as an asbestos type due
to incorrectly coding results onto the reporting forms. Included in the
above false positives are seven laboratories which reported two asbestos
varieties within the sample. Statistical analyses of Sample B quantitative
results (Table 2) show the mean for all laboratories to be 17.98 percent
asbestos with a standard deviation of 36.24. This high value was due to the
sample being 100 percent fibrous; thus, the 135 laboratories reporting false
positives resulted in a large number of 100 percent total asbestos counts,
generating a high mean for a nonasbestos material. A summary of suggested
techniques for PLM analysis was provided to all participants with the round
summary report to laboratories, (See Appendix A, page A-ll). Laboratories
were advised to notice the parallel extinction, the lower birefringence, and
the presence of both positive and negative signs of elongation when compar-
ing wollastonlte to asbestos.
There were 167 false positives reported for Sample C. Most of the
errors resulted from laboratories reporting chrysotile present (160); how-
ever, five reported amoslte or an amoslte-chrysotile mixture, and one
reported unspecified asbestos. Statistical analyses of Sample C quantita-
tive results (Table 2) show the mean for all laboratories to be 7.88 percent

asbestos, with a standard deviation of 16.23. Laboratories were advised in
an enclosed memo to notice the morphology (absence of splayed ends and
knees), the undulose extinction, the low density, and the lower flame resis-
tance of the polyethylene fibers as compared to chrysotile.
There were 58 false negatives and 15 identification errors reported for
Sample D. Of the false negatives, 44 resulted from laboratories reporting
no asbestos present, while 14 reported asbestos present but in quantities
less than or equal to one percent. The 15 identification errors reported by
laboratories correctly classifying the sample were as follows: six reported
amosite, three reported tremollte, three reported crocidolite, two reported
anthophyllite, and one reported vermiculite as asbestos due to a coding
error. Included in the above are eight laboratories which reported more
than one variety of asbestos present. Statistical analyses of Sample D
quantitative results (Table 2) show the mean to be 14.95 percent asbestos,
with a standard deviation of 13.59.
The distribution of quantitative results for participating laboratories
in percent asbestos reported per sample is presented in figures 1 through 4.
Statistical analyses of Round 16 quantitative results are listed in Table 2.
This information was provided to participating laboratories to allow inter-
laboratory comparison of the quantitative results. Quantitative results
were not used in determining the laboratory performance rating.
The distribution ratings for Round 16 are presented in Table 3. Of the
616 laboratories participating in this Round, 337 received a performance
rating of 4/4 (0 classification errors), 172 received a performance rating
of 3/4 (1 classification error), 96 received a performance rating of 2/4 (2
classification errors), and ten received a performance rating of 1/4 (3
classification errors), and' one received a performance rating of 0/4 (4
classification errors).
Samples A and C had been analyzed by participants in recent EPA bulk
rounds: Sample A was used in Round 15; and Sample C, in Round 14. Quanti-
tatlon had not been emphasized prior to Round 16; therefore, a comparison of
the quantitative and qualitative results from the current and prior same-
sample analyses was drawn to determine if the emphasis placed on
quantltatlon in Round 16 affected the results (See Table 4). All
participants 1n Round 16 were used in the comparison, not just those
laboratories which were enrolled from Round 14 through Round 16. Sample A,

Round 15 qualitative results yielded 9.1 percent false negatives and 84.6
percent correctly classified and Identified. Sample A, Round 16 qualitative
results yielded 6.2 percent false negatives, and 87.0 percent correctly
classified and identified. Sample A, Round 15, quantitative results yielded
a mean of 11.88 percent asbestos, with a standard deviation of 12.10.
Sample A, Round 16, quantitative results yielded a mean of 10.24 percent
asbestos, with a standard deviation of 11.31. The Round 15 range was from 0
to 90 percent asbestos with a mode of 10 percent asbestos (18.7 percent of
participants). The Round 16 range was from 0 to 100 percent asbestos, with
a mode of 5 percent asbestos (22.4 percent of participants). In each case
the statistical data was affected by laboratories which failed to correctly
code their reporting forms, often resulting in artificially high asbestos
percentages. In some Instances, laboratories reported 100 percent total
asbestos when they may have only detected 5 percent asbestos, with 100
percent of that amount consisting of only one asbestos type. Sample C,
Round 14, qualitative results yielded 40.8 percent false negatives, with
59.2 percent correctly classified and identified. Sample C, Round 16
qualitative reports yielded 27.1 percent false negatives, with 72.9 percent
correctly classified and identified. Sample C, Round 14, quantitative
results yielded a mean of 8.88 percent asbestos, with a standard deviation
of 15.39. Sample C, Round 16, quantitative results yielded a mean of 7.88
percent asbestos, with a standard deviation of 16.23. The Round 14 range
>
was from 0 to 100 percent asbestos, with a mode of 0 percent (58.3 percent
of participants). The Round 16 range was from 0 to 100 percent asbestos,
with a mode of 0 percent (71.9 percent of participants). Figures 5 and 6
show the distribution of quantitative results for Sample A, Round 15, and
Sample C, Round 14, for comparison with Figures 1 and 3 from the same
samples, Round 16.
3.2 ROUND 17
The Federal Register, Vol. 52, Number 171, of September 3, 1987, an-
nounced that Bulk Sample Round 17 would serve as the EPA Bulk Asbestos
Interim Laboratory Accreditation Program and would accredit laboratories
based on their ability to correctly classify bulk materials as asbestos-
containing or-nonasbestos-containing. This program was to operate in an
accrediting capacity until the National Institute of Standards and Technolo

gy, formerly the National Bureau of Standards, National Voluntary Laboratory
Accreditation Program (NVLAP) was operational. For the benefit of those
laboratories unaware of the Federal Register notice, EPA, in a letter sent
to each active participant, outlined the interim program and instructed
laboratories to contact Research Triangle Institute by September 30, 1987 to
ensure their enrollment into the first round of accreditation.
Round 17 samples were distributed on October 16, 1987. Four bulk sam-
ples were sent to each of 831 participating laboratories (625 commercial and
206 noncommercial) and results were returned by 753 participants before the
scheduled deadline. Detailed instructions for reporting results and infor-
mation on derivation of scores were included with the samples (see Appendix
A). A suggestion sheet outlining optional PLM techniques successfully util-
ized by RTI analysts was provided as an aid to each participant. EPA
enclosed a "Laboratory Statement of Understanding and Acceptance of Condi-
tions" form to be signed and returned by each participant prior to, and
necessary for, the laboratory accreditation. The analyses of all the sam-
ples, along with the signed compliance forms, were due back to RTI on or
before November 20, 1987.
Round 17 was subject to different evaluation criteria than the previous
rounds in order to include quantisation and identification parameters in
scoring. Formerly, the participants were judged solely on their ability to
correctly classify bulk materials as containing greater or less than one
percent total asbestos fibers. As stated previously, beginning with Round
17, participants were evaluated and assigned scores based upon the following
scheme: (a) correct classification was worth 80 percent; (b) correct iden-
tification of the dominant asbestos type was worth 10 percent; and, (c)
quantitation within established acceptable limits was worth 10 percent. All
possible scoring combinations were outlined in the instruction packet
included with the samples, (See Appendix A, page A-9).
Eighty-two laboratories, whose results established the acceptance ran-
ges, were selected on the basis of their satisfactory past performance in
the EPA bulk sample analysis quality assurance program. Those laboratories
having perfect (4/4) classification records with no identification errors
and acceptable quantitative data over the past four rounds were chosen. The
average of their reported results constituted the acceptance mean value
reported to the participating laboratories. The acceptable range of asbes-
3-12
-------
tos percentage was established by setting limits of plus and minus three
standard deviations about the reference mean. The distribution type, i.e.,
normal, lognormal, etc., was determined using standard statistical tests and
applied to the population of values reported by the laboratories.
Of the four samples used in Round 17, Sample A was an asbestos wrap
Insulation consisting of crocidollte fibers woven into a tape. The refer-
ence laboratories reported 96.6 percent crocidolite. Sample B was an
asbestos-containing Insulation material consisting of chrysotlle fibers in a
verm1cul1te and clay matrix with minor mica and talc present. Reference
laboratories reported 9.6 percent chrysotile asbestos. Sample C was
nonasbestos-containlng, and was composed entirely of polyethylene fibers.
Sample D was a block Insulation containing both amosite (grunerlte) and
chrysotile asbestos 1n a calcareous binder. Reference laboratories reported
30.7 percent amosite and 2.9 percent chrysotile.
The qualitative results for Round 17 are presented 1n Table 5. Of the
3,012 samples analyzed 1n Round 17, 2,897, (96.2 percent) were classified
correctly, while 2,833, (94.1 percent) were classified and Identified cor-
rectly. M1sclass1f1cat1ons were reported for 115 samples, and the type of
asbestos was incorrectly identified 1n an additional 64 samples.
Statistical analyses of the data reported by all participants are pre-
sented 1n Table 6. Table 6 also presents the results from both commercial
and noncommercial participants and lists the average percent asbestos
reported, the standard deviation of the percent values reported, and the
upper and lower limits of the range of percents reported by all laborato-
ries. The mode percent and the number of laboratories reporting the modal
values are also listed. The data are comparable between commercial and
noncommercial laboratories.
Laboratory analyses of Sample A resulted in eight false negatives and
28 Identification errors. Table 6 shows the mean asbestos content reported
by all commercial laboratories for lot A to be 94.6 percent asbestos, while
the mean reported by noncommercial laboratories for lot A was 94.0 percent.
The mean for all labs was 94.45 percent.
Of the 28 identification errors resulting from the analyses of lot A,
15 errors resulted from laboratories reporting chrysotile, seven errors from
amosite, and two each from reporting both chrysotile and crocidolite. One
laboratory each reported tremollte, anthophyllite, amosite and chrysotile,
and chrysotile and an unspecified variety of asbestos.

asbestos present, while the average percent asbestos reported by noncommer-
cial participants was 7.66 percent. The mean reported by all the laborato-
ries was 9.75 percent. The ten identification errors resulted from four
laboratories reporting amosite, two reporting anthophyllite, and one each
reporting actinolite, crocidolite, amosite and chrysotile, and amosite and
crocidolite.
Sample lot C analyses generated 18 false positives, with commercial
labs reporting an average of 2.26 percent asbestos and noncommercial labs
reporting an average of 1.06 percent asbestos present. The mean reported by
all labs was 1.95 percent asbestos, although no asbestos was present in the
sample lot. Of the 18 false positives, 17 laboratories reported chrysotile
and one reported crocidolite.
Five false positives and 26 identification errors resulted from the
analyses of Sample lot D. Commercial laboratories reported an average of
34.62 percent asbestos present, and noncommercial laboratories reported
31.64 percent asbestos present. The mean for all labs reporting was 33.87
percent. Of the 26 identification errors resulting from the analyses of lot
D, seven resulted from reporting chrysotile and amosite (the dominant type
of asbestos present in sample lot D, amosite, was listed as a minor constit-
uent in these cases, with chrysotile listed as the most dominant), three
from reporting crocidolite, two from reporting anthophyllite and actinolite,
respectively, one from reporting actinolite and amosite and 11 from report-
ing chrysotile asbestos.
The distribution of quantitative results from participating laborato-
ries in percent asbestos reported for each sample is presented in the
histograms in Figures 7 through 10. The range of asbestos reported is plot-
ted along the horizontal axis, and the number of laboratories reporting is
plotted on the vertical axis. The information presented in Table 5, "Round
17 Qualitative Results" was provided to participating laboratories to allow
interlaboratory comparison of the quantitative results.
Table 7 presents the distribution of classification ratings for Round
17. Only labs with a 4/4 rating (no classification errors) received EPA
accreditation, and 648 laboratories received accredited status. Ninety-six
laboratories correctly classified three out of four samples, eight labs
classified two of four samples correctly, and one laboratory classified one
of the four audit samples correctly.

3.3 BULK SAMPLE ROUND 18
Round 18 of the U.S. EPA's Bulk Sample Analysis Quality Assurance Pro-
gram, also known as the Interim Laboratory Accreditation Program, continued
to serve as the accrediting vehicle for laboratories which analyze bulk
samples for asbestos. The National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Pro-
gram for asbestos analysis began evaluating enrolled laboratories in October
1988.
Round 18 samples were distributed on April 15, 1988. Four bulk samples
were sent to each of 1,118 participating laboratories (874 commercial and
244 noncommercial). Enclosed with the sample kit were detailed instructions
on completing the forms and analyzing the samples, a results coding form, a
results reporting form, an acceptance of conditions statement, and the four
bulk audit samples. The due date for reporting results and forms was May
20, 1988. Seven hundred eighty-one commercial and 221 noncommercial labora-
tories returned results prior to the deadline for reporting, for a total of
1,002 active participants.
Round 18 was conducted in a manner similar to that of Round 17, and the
same grading scheme was applied to evaluate results: eighty points per
sample were awarded for the correct classification as asbestos-containing or
nonasbestos-containing; ten points per sample were awarded for the correct
identification of the type(s) of asbestos present, (if any); and ten points
per sample were awarded for reporting a quantitative value within a plus-or-'
minus three standard deviation range from the mean reported by the prese-
lected reference laboratories. Any classification errors automatically
resulted in a nonaccredited status and negated the identification and quan-
titation aspects of the grading criteria. A total of four hundred points
was possible with a perfect score, and in order to become accredited, a
laboratory was required to correctly classify all four audit samples as
asbestos-containing or nonasbestos-containing. An information sheet
describing all possible scoring combinations was mailed along with the sam-
ple kits. (See Appendix A, page A-9 for grading schemata.)
Seventy-eight laboratories were selected prior to Round 18 sample dis-
tribution to provide the data base for determining the quantitative ranges.
The selection process for those labs was the same as that used during Round
17, that is, perfect classification scores, no identification errors, and
3-20
-------
acceptable quantitative data reporting for the past four bulk sample rounds.
A mean percent asbestos content for all asbestos-containing samples was
determined and used for establishing the acceptance ranges based on the type
of distribution.
All the samples used in Round 18 were asbestos-containing and the per-
centages indicated below are the results of the reference analyses from the
preselected laboratories. Sample composition may vary slightly from vial to
vial in a sample lot and percentages reported are approximate for a particu-
lar subsample within the sample lot.
Sample A was an asbestos-containing cardboard, commonly used as thermal
insulation or as a heat resistant barrier. Asbestos paper products such as
this are commonly found in boiler and mechanical room areas of buildings.
The sample was very homogenous and relatively friable. Sample lot A con-
sisted of approximately 45 percent chrysotile, with the remainder of the
sample being cellulose and binding material in about equal portions. Sample
lot B was a loose-fill thermal insulation commonly used in above-ceiling
areas of buildings, and was composed of 35 percent amosite, 50 percent
fiberglass and mineral wool, and about 15 percent binder. Sample C was a
woven cloth which 1s commonly used in fireproof curtains or in the construc-
tion of heat resistant barrier systems around boilers or other high tempera-
ture equipment. The composition of this sample was approximately 67 percent
chrysotlle, 28 percent cellulose, and about 5 percent binder. Sample lot D
was a plaster used to Insulate boilers or pip.es. It is one of the most
commonly occurring asbestos-containing materials found in buildings, and
consists of 47 percent chrysotile, 50 percent calcareous binder, and 3 per-
cent cellulose.
The qualitative results for Round 18 are presented in Table 8. Of the
4,008 samples analyzed in Round 18, 3,971 (99.1%) were classified correctly,
while 3,907 (97.5%) were classified and identified correctly. Misclassifi-
cations were reported for 37 samples and the type of asbestos was incorrect-
ly identified in an additional 64 samples for Round 18. One hundred twenty-
four of the results reported were outside the acceptable range of quantita-
tion data, resulting in quantltation errors.
Table 9 presents the statistical analyses of the data reported by the
participants. The results from commercial, noncommercial and total partici-
pants are listed with the average percent asbestos reported for each sample,

The most commonly reported percent value (mode) and the number of labs
reporting this value are also presented in the table.
Analyses of sample lot A> by all participants resulted in six false
negatives and seven identification errors. The identification errors
resulted from three mlsclassifications of chrysotlle as tremolite, and one
m1sident1fication each for crocidolite, amosite, amosite/anthophyllite and
amosite/chrysotile (with amosite listed as the dominant asbestos type).
Table 9 shows the mean percent asbestos reported for commercial and noncom-
mercial laboratories to be 42.54 percent for Sample A. The average percent
asbestos reported by commercial laboratories for Sample A was 42.31 percent,
with noncommercial laboratories reporting 43.33 percent.
Twenty-three false negatives and 40 identification errors resulted from
the analyses of Sample lot B. Eleven of the identification errors resulted
from laboratories reporting anthophyllite asbestos, eight from laboratories
reporting chrysotlle, and seven from laboratories reporting crocidolite.
The remaining 14 identification errors resulted from a variety of misidenti-
fications of the amosite in Sample lot B. Fifty-four laboratories reported
values outside the range of acceptable quantisation limits for this sample.
The mean percent asbestos reported by all participants for the sample was
31.44 percent as shown in Table 9. For commercial labs the mean percent
»
reported was 31.96 and for noncommercial labs the average was 29.61.
Sample lot C was Incorrectly analyzed as nonasbestos-containlng by
three laboratories, (false negatives) and five labs incorrectly identified
the asbestos type. Four of the identification errors were caused by misi-
dentlfytng the chrysotlle 1n the sample as amosite and the remaining error
was caused by a laboratory reporting crocidolite. The analyses of Sample C
resulted in nine quantitatlon errors. Table 9 lists the mean amount of
asbestos in the sample reported by all the laboratories as 71.41 percent.
Commercial laboratories reported 70.85 percent and noncommercial laborato-
ries reported 73.36 percent as listed in Table 9.
There were five false negatives and 12 identification errors resulting
from the analyses of Sample lot D. The identification errors resulted from
laboratories reporting the chrysotlle asbestos in the sample as amosite (six
labs), tremolite (three labs), anthophyllite, crocidolite, and crocidolite

all four audit materials as asbestos-containing), 25 laboratories scored a
3/4 rating, four laboratories scored a 2/4 rating, and one laboratory
received a 0/4 rating. Twenty-five commercial labs did not receive accred-
ited status (3.2% of the total of 781 active commercial laboratories) and
five noncommercial laboratories (2.3% of the total of 221 active noncommer-
cial labs) did not receive accredited status. Ninety-seven percent of the

SECTION 4.0
SUMMARY
In Round 16 of the bulk sample analysis quality assurance program, both
commercial and noncommercial laboratories voluntarily participated as to
develop a quality control check of their capabilities 1n determining the
presence or absence of asbestos 1n bulk Insulation samples. The Asbestos
Hazard Emergency Response act of 1986 (AHERA) required the accreditation of
laboratories which analyze bulk material samples taken from public or pri-
vate, elementary or secondary schools. Because of the AHERA legislation,
laboratories participating in Rounds 17 and 18 were evaluated on their abil-
ity to determine the presence or absence of asbestos in bulk samples, and
were issued accredited status based upon the successful classification of
all four audit materials.
Laboratories were asked to report the following information in Round 16
of the QA program. First, each bulk material was classified as asbestos-
containing (greater than one percent asbestos) or nonasbestos-contalning
(one percent or less). Second, the specific type(s) of asbestos, 1f any,
were Identified for each sample. Third, the percentages of asbestos and
other major constituents were stated for each sample. A performance rating
was calculated based on .the number of samples correctly classified. The
Identification of asbestos type and the quantitative data reported did not
affect the rating scores 1n Round 16, but did provide laboratories with
necessary feedback on their analytical technique. A list of the partici-
pants and their performance ratings was made available to the public after
the completion of the round.
The grading criteria for Rounds 17 and 18 were more stringent than in
past rounds of the quality assurance program and included the use of a scor-
ing system based on the classification, identification, and quantisation of
the asbestos in the samples. Again, a list of the accredited laboratories
was made available to the public at the completion of each round.
Microscopic identification of asbestos in bulk insulation samples is a
technique that is operator dependant, and subjective in terms of asbestos
quantitatlon. It should be noted that there was an increase in the profi-
ciency of the laboratories over the course of several rounds, as illustrated
4-1
-------
by the data shown on Table 11. In Round 16 of the program, 337 (or 54.7%)
of the total) laboratories achieved a perfect (4/4) classification score.
In rounds 17 and 18, 648 (86.1% of the total) and 972 (97.0% of the total)
laboratories, respectively, received an accredited status (a 4/4 rating).
Table 11 also lists the number of identification errors for all three rounds
and for rounds 17 and 18, the number of quantitation errors.

•Fill in all blocks for each analysis performed, using zeros or "none" where necessary. In
categories offering numbered choices, write the correct number in the appropriate block, fol-
lowed by a percent value or comment.
• Answer the question: "Does the sample contain any asbestos fibers?", either "yes" or "no".
Answer "yes* if any asbestos fibers are seen and "no* if none are seen. The answer "yes* is
not a statement that the sample is an 'asbestos-containing material* (see below).
• Under "Asbestos Present", report the amount of each type of asbestos present as a percentage
of the total material in the sample. Do not report the amount of asbestos as a percentage of
fibrous components only. If no asbestos is present, report "None* or *0J?". If asbestos is
present and the amount is less than or equal to 1 percent, report "trace", *

E. Results Reporting Form (Reverse)
• Complete the reverse side of the Results Reporting Form.
• Provide descriptions of the procedures used for quantitative analysis and of the routine
quality control measures used for bulk sample analysis. Information provided in previous
rounds need not be repeated if still applicable. Additional information regarding sample
preparation and analytical procedures may be supplied in the space provided for comments.
• The analyst's signature is required. Reporting forms submitted without required signatures
will not be evaluated.
• The affirmation states that the results being reported were obtained in analyses performed by
the laboratory submitting those results. Complete the statement with the name of the labora-
tory as it appears in the cover letter address. The signature, of the laboratory manager or
other company officials responsible for analytical services (the analysts, if applicable) is

• Pleas* provide changes or corrections in the laboratory mailing address ONLY if applicable.
6. Results Coding Form
Transfer the data from the Results Reporting Form to the Results Coding Form using the codes
provided at the bottom of the form. Notice that the percentages are to be recorded underneath
the material type in the first four columns. Fill in only those blocks that apply, and leave
the others blank. Please print legibly because the data on the Results Coding Form is the data
on which your performance rating will be based.
7. Layered Samples
Often samples of the insulation materials will contain more than one "layer* or type of materi-
al. When it is apparent that a sample contains more than one layer, each layer should be
analyzed separately. For the purposes of this program, assume that each layer comprises an
equal volume of the sample, and report only one value for each sample regardless of the number
of layers that are present. For example: If a sample is made up of two different layers, and
one layer is 60X amosite and the other layer is 40% chrysotile, the correct reporting values
would be 30X amosite, 20% chrysotile, and 60X total asbestos.
8. Retain all samples for future reference following receipt of the round results and statistical
summary.
9. Return the original Results Reporting Form and Results Coding Form by the date indicated in the
cover letter using the enclosed label attached to your Results Reporting Form.
RTI .MUST RECEIVE YOUR RESULTS BY MAY 20. 1988.

SCORING FOR LABORATORY PERFORMANCE
Numerical and/or percentage scores will be computed for laboratories
meeting the minimal requirements for accreditation. The score will be com-
prised of the total of the values received for classification, identifica-
tion and quantification. For each sample, correct classification 1s worth
eighty (80) points if the sample is asbestos-containing and one hundred
(100) points if It is nonasbestos-containing (no identification or quantifi-
cation needed). Identification and quantification are worth 10 points each
for samples which are asbestos-containing. Listed below are all possible
combinations of asbestos-containing vs. nonasbestos-containing samples and
possible scores which could be achieved provided each sample was correctly
classified.

SUMMARY OF SUGGESTED TECHNIQUES FOR PLM ANALYSIS
At the request of Michael E. Beard, EPA Project Officer, RTI has pre-
pared this summary of techniques which could be useful in the analysis of
bulk materials, especially those containing low levels of asbestos. These
techniques are employed at RTI and have been found to be helpful in the
analysis of some bulk samples. These techniques are provided only a_s a
possible compliment to the INTERIM METHOD and are not required by, or a part
of,"the method at this time.
METHODS
Examination With A Simple Microscope
The bulk sample is first examined for homogeneity and composition with
the aid of a simple stereomicroscope. The types of asbestos, filler, other
insulating materials and binder are noted and a visual estimation of rela-
tive concentrations is made. Samples are examined prior to and after homog-
enization to determine the effect of homogenization on fiber size, separa-
tion of bundles and binder coating of fibers.
Sample Homogenization
Homogenization with a mini-blender (30cc) appears to be a suitable
method for most bulk materials; fiber and bundle separation is good and
dispersion of binder-adhesive materials is adequate in most cases. The
method does not work well for samples having "tacky" binder material and/or
unusually long fibers. The homogenization is done dry in a hood. After
homogenization the sample should be examined for homogeneity and a visual
estimation of relative concentrations should again be made.
Slide Preparation
The homogenized sample is first examined using the standard PLM tech-
nique with dispersion staining. Several small "pinch" samples are mounted
in high dispersion oil and examined. This is done to ensure correct identi-
fication of asbestos types and other components of the sample.
Two other types of mounting media have been investigated; these were
(1) two part, extra-fast setting epoxy (index 1.562) and (2) commercially
available, high dispersion permanent mounting medium (indices of 1.605,
1.680 and 1.704). Both mounting media produce permanent slide mounts. This
is advantageous as duplicate point counts should be made for verification of
results and oil mounts have a short "shelf-life." Several permanent mounts
should be made of "pinch" samples of the homogenized sample; the proper size
"pinch" sample may be determined through trial and error, but generally
speaking, sample material should be evenly distributed and not ^o dense as

to create a solid layer of material several particles thick. Experience has
shown that the larger cover slips (22 x 30 mm) should be used in making the
mounts; this provides for a higher number of point counts per slide.
Point Counting
The prepared slides are scanned to determine the homogeneity and dis-
tribution of sample materials. Point counting is done along several
traverses which encompass the entire slide (along both dimensions). A
mechanical stage and cross-hair reticle are used for counting with only the
particle directly under the cross-hair being counted (void space is not
counted). At least 300 counts are made per slide, but percentages are
computed after each 50 particle count to determine when the percentages
"level off." It has been determined in most cases, counting is facilitated
by setting up the microscope with crossed polarizers and with the compen-
sator plate in line. The asbestos fibers are easily discerned with the
microscope set up in this manner. With slides prepared using the high
dispersion permanent mounting medium, you have the added advantage of being
able to determine dispersion colors of the fibers in question. With samples
containing a large concentration of isotropic materials such as fiberglass,
it is best to conduct the point counting with the microscope set up in the
dispersion staining mode. This will negate the possibility of overlooking
(due to crossed polarizers) such materials.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Laboratories Participating in Bulk Asbestos Interim Laboratory
Quality Assurance Program
FROM: Robert L. Perkins, RTI Program Coordinator
SUBJECT: EPA Interim Laboratory Accreditation for Bulk Asbestos
As announced in the Federal Register, Vol. 52, No. 171, September 3,
1987, the EPA will accredit laboratories based on their correct classifica-
tion of bulk materials as either asbestos-containing or nonasbestos-
containing. To be accreditated by the EPA, laboratories must correctly
classify all audit samples (four). Laboratories are also requested to iden-
tify the types of asbestos (identification) and to quantify the amount of
asbestos in the samples (quantification) for each asbestos-containing sam-
ple. The identification and quantification results will be used to further
evaluate the performance of the laboratories meeting the minimal classifica-
tion criterion. All laboratories will be notified of their performance, but
only those correctly classifying each of the four samples as asbestos-
containing or nonasbestos-containing will be included in the laboratory
listing to be published following the audit.
If your laboratory wishes to participate in this program, please ana-
lyze the four (4) enclosed samples by polarized light microscopy (PLM),
complete the Results Reporting Form and Results Coding Form according to the
enclosed instruction sheet and return the forms to RTI. The laboratory is
strongly urged to carefully examine the forms and instructions to prevent
errors due to improperly recording the results. Results must be received at
RTI no later than May 20, 1988, for your results to be evaluated and your
laboratory to be considered for accreditation by EPA. Questions concerning
this audit may be directed to Robert L. Perkins, RTI, at (919) 541-6369, or
at the address listed in the instructions. Please note that the toll-free
number used previously is no longer available. Please use the new number
for any questions concerning the bulk program. Please include your lab
identification number on all correspondence.
In addition to the Reporting and Coding forms, each laboratory must
sign and return to RTI, the enclosed statement indicating the laboratory's
acceptance of the conditions of the program for accreditation by EPA and an
understanding that failure to correctly classify each of the four samples as
asbestos-containing or nonasbestos-containing will prevent the laboratory
from receiving accreditation.

As described previously, laboratories will be evaluated on performance
in classification, identification and quantification, with classification
comprising eighty (80) percent of the total score of each sample with the
exception of audit samples which are nonasbestos-containing, in which case
classification would be worth one hundred (100) percent of the sample's
score. If the sample is asbestos-containing, identification of asbestos
type will comprise ten (10) percent of the total score for the sample. If
the sample contains more than one type of asbestos, the dominant type (high-
est percentage) will be used for scoring. Quantification of asbestos con-
tent will also comprise ten (10) percent of the total score for the sample.
Characterization for each audit sample will be established by internal and
external analysis. These characterizations will serve as standards upon
which program participants will be evaluated.
Please examine the scoring system .(Attachment 1) to be used in the
numerical evaluation of the laboratories. All possible combinations of
asbestos-containing and nonasbestos-containing samples are explained along
with the numerical scores which can be achieved. Also included is a summary
of suggested techniques for PLM analysis (Attachment 2).
As you may know, RTI is a not-for-profit independent research corpora-
tion which is under contract to manage this program for EPA. Therefore,
only EPA may accredit laboratories or analysts under this program. Partici-
pants in this program are advised that they may not advertise or issue any
publicity material having or containing any reference to RTI, or in which
the name of RTI is mentioned, .unless such advertisement or publicity has
previously received written approval of the President of RTI.
Questions regarding the use of RTI's name in publicity statements
should be addressed to Ms. Julia W. Merricks (919/541-5906). All technical
questions should be addressed to Robert L. Perkins (919/541-6369).

MEMORANDUM
TO: Laboratories Participating in Round 18
FROM: Bruce W. Harvey
SUBJECT: ASBESTOS BULK SAMPLE ANALYSIS INTERIM QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM:
RESULTS FOR ROUND 18 (The second round of the EPA Interim Accredi-
tation Program)
The enclosed report of Round 18 results contains information submitted
by the identified laboratory and the reference laboratories, and a summary
of quantitative results reported by all participating laboratories. Bulk
samples were sent to 874 commercial and 244 noncommercial laboratories in
Round 18. Laboratory reports were returned by 781 commercial and 221 non-
commercial laboratories. Information appearing under the heading, RESULTS
FROM LABORATORY NUMBER XXXX, should be compared with your Results Coding
Form for Round 18. Please note the following:
• When a range is reported for the quantity of a sample component, the
midpoint of the range is recorded (e.g., "5-15 percent chrysotile"
appears as 10.0 CHRY).
• When the quantity of a sample component 1s reported as "less than x
percent" or "greater than x percent", the qualifier is deleted and
only the x value is recorded (e.g., "<10 percent cellulose" appears
as 10.0 CELL).
• All nonfibrous components are grouped under the designation "NF"
(e.g., "3 percent gypsum, 10 percent carbonates" appears as 13.0 NF).
• In Round 18, all four samples were asbestos-containing materials
(ACM). Provided the correct classification of each sample, the fol-
lowing chart lists the criteria for establishing the raw score. Each
correct identification and quantification is worth 10 pts. or 2.5%.
The raw score will be lower for laboratories that fail to correctly
classify each of the four samples.

Any discrepancies between the laboratory code of submitted data and
information appearing on the enclosed report should be reported to RTI at
(919) 541-6369 within one week after receipt of ratings.
The identity of the components of each sample appears under the heading
RESULTS FROM REFERENCE LABORATORIES. The designation of samples as positive
(containing greater than 1 percent asbestos) or negative (containing 1 per-
cent asbestos or less) is based on the reference laboratories' analyses. If
the abbreviation "IDERR" (identification error) appears directly beneath a
sample number, it means that a type of asbestos identified by your laborato-
ry was not present 1n the sample or was not the dominant asbestos type. If
"QERR" (quantitation error) appears, it means your asbestos percentage fell
outside the acceptable range listed. Seventy-eight reference laboratories
were chosen based on their past performance in the EPA Quality Assurance
Program. Those laboratories having perfect (4/4) classification records
without identification errors over the past four rounds were selected to be
reference laboratories. The average of their reported results constitutes
the reference values shown. The acceptable range of asbestos percentage was
established by setting limits of approximately three standard deviations
about the reference mean. In the case of two asbestos types in one sample,
only the dominant asbestos type is utilized in establishing proper identifi-
cation and quantitative ratings. Compare your results to those of the
reference laboratory.
The SUMMARY OF QUANTITATIVE RESULTS presents the median quantity values
for each sample component. Values are reported only for sample components
determined to be present by the reference laboratories. The PERCENT ASBES-
TOS column presents values based on data submitted by all participating
laboratories. The median values reported under PERCENT OTHER FIBROUS MATE-
RIAL and PERCENT NONFIBROUS MATERIAL are based on those laboratories which
submitted data on both the type and percent of the appropriate constituent
(e.g., a laboratory report such as "nonfibrous material present" would not
be included, because no percentage is given). Because they are based on
different numbers of laboratories, the sum of median values for percent
asbestos, other fibrous material, and nonfibrous material is not 100.
Percent!le values for asbestos content are provided for comparison with
individual laboratory results. A value of 70.0 for the 75th percentile
indicates that 75 percent of the participating laboratories reported 70
percent or less asbestos present in that sample. Consistent deviations of a
laboratory's result from the median value should be recognized as an indica-
tion of possible laboratory bias in the quantitation of asbestos.

The table below was tabulated from results reported by the EPA Interim
Quality Assurance Program. Classification errors are determined from the
incorrect reporting of a negative or positive sample. Identification errors
are determined from the incorrect speciation of asbestos fibers present in a
sample. An identification or quantitation error does not affect the quali-

SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
On October 30, 1987, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
promulgated a final regulation (52 FR 41826) for the control of asbestos-
containing materials in schools. The regulation requires that, for the
analysis of bulk materials, local education agencies (LEA) must employ labo-
ratories which have been accredited by the National Bureau of Standards to
perform asbestos analysis using polarized light microscopy (PLM). Until
that program is operational, EPA has made provisions to accredit laborato-
ries which successfully participate in the EPA Interim Asbestos Bulk Sample
Quality Assurance Program. A laboratory is classified as commercial or
noncommercial depending on whether or not it solicits, accepts, and for a
fee analyzes bulk samples from the general public. A laboratory accepting
such fees is classified as commercial. This listing includes all accredited
commercial laboratories, and those accredited noncommercial laboratories
that requested to be listed. This listing replaces the January 1988 listing
of laboratories accredited by EPA in the November 1987 round.
Conditions and Expiration of Accredited Status
A Laboratory included in this listing is accredited through January 12,
1989, or until such time that NBS completes assessment and proficiency test-
ing of that laboratory. After January 12, 1989, this listing will become
invalid. On March 29, 1988, EPA announced in the FEDERAL REGISTER that the
last planned round of EPA accreditation would be the April 1988 round. PLM
laboratories accredited in the April 1988 round and desiring to conduct
analyses of bulk samples for LEA's after January 12, 1989, have been
requested by the EPA to enroll in the NBS National Voluntary Laboratory
Accreditation Program (NVLAP) by September 30, 1988. An explanation of EPA
accreditation status and NBS accreditation status is as follows:
1. A laboratory which currently is accredited by EPA, and enrolls in
the NBS program by September 30, 1988, is considered to be accred-
ited until such time that NBS completes assessment and proficiency
testing of that laboratory. Depending on the results of the as-
sessment and proficiency testing, the laboratory will be assigned
accredited or nonaccredited status.
C-9
-------
2. A laboratory which currently 1s accredited by EPA, but fails to
enroll 1n the NBS program by September 30, 1988, will remain ac-
credited by EPA until January 12. 1989.
* ?'
3. A laboratory not currently accredited by the EPA will remain nonac-
credited until the laboratory successfully completes the require-
ments of the NBS accreditation program.
Future Laboratory Listings
Beginning 1n January 1989, the EPA will publish monthly listings of
EPA/NBS accredited laboratories. The initial listing will detail laborato-
ries which were accredited by EPA 1n April 1988 and which enrolled in the
NBS program by September 30, 1988. Subsequent listings will detail labora-
tories currently accredited by EPA or NBS. The monthly listings will be
made available to the public through the States and EPA Regional Offices.
Should any questions arise regarding a laboratories accredited status,
information and copies of the latest laboratory listing can be obtained by
calling (202) 554-1404.
Current Listing
The following commercial and noncommercial laboratories have received
EPA interim accreditation to perform PLM analyses of bulk materials for
local education agencies. The laboratories are listed under commercial and
noncommercial headings. Under each heading the laboratories are listed by
EPA Region, State within each Region, and alphabetically within each State.
Each laboratory received four (4) bulk samples and was asked to perform the
analyses using the PLM method. Only those laboratories which correctly
classified four (4) bulk samples as asbestos-containing or nonasbestos-
contalning have been accredited.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency does not endorse the services
of the participating laboratories, but provides this listing as a source of
EPA accredited bulk asbestos analytical laboratories.
