About this service
About Asbestos Check
Asbestos Check is a private, independent information service that helps users navigate official Japan-specific asbestos requirements.
What we provide
We publish explanatory guides, a browser-based reference checker, source links and a corrections channel. The service is designed to make separate compliance questions visible early in project planning.
What we do not provide
We do not inspect sites, identify materials, provide legal advice, make qualified determinations, submit government reports, approve work or recommend that work begin.
Independence and revenue
The service may use clearly separated article advertising. Ads do not appear in the checker or result. Advertising does not change rule outputs or source selection.
