Why appearance is not enough
Building products can look similar even when their composition is different. A material's color, texture, brand, or age may provide context but does not confirm asbestos.
When testing makes sense
If a suspect material will be disturbed by repair, renovation, or demolition, proper sampling and laboratory analysis can determine whether asbestos is present.
Avoid destructive guesswork
Do not cut, scrape, sand, drill, or break a suspect material just to inspect it more closely.
