The survey should be qualitative and quantitative in that an attempt should be made to locate accessible friable and non - friable ACM areas , as well as a quantity analysis of the amount of ACM . All accessible areas of the survey should be inspected . 2 . Bulk samples of all suspected ACM shall be collected by a Michigan Accredited Asbestos Inspector . Samples shall be collected in a safe manner . As required , limited destructive sampling ( ie interior wall or ceiling demolition ) should be conducted as part of this assessment in order to gain access to suspected ACM . 3 . Per EPA - recommended sampling guidelines , bulk samples shall be collected in each homogeneous area encountered . Homogeneous area is defined as an area of material that is uniform in color , texture , and appearance . 4 . Samples of suspect ACM shall be analyzed by an accredited National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program via polarized light microscopy and dispersion staining following the EPA Test Method ( EPA - 600 / M4 - 82 - 020 ) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology Bulk Asbestos Handbook .
