ADVANCED SAMPLE ANALYSIS USING STATE-OF-THE-ART METHODS DEVELOPED BY NIST
Advent keeps asbestos identification simple: we coordinate your samples through independent laboratories accredited under NIST’s NVLAP program, using established analytical protocols, proficiency testing, and documented quality controls—so your results are defensible, repeatable, and practical for real-world decisions.
What is NIST?
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is the U.S. standards authority that advances measurement science and publishes the frameworks that laboratories use to produce reliable, comparable results.
What is NVLAP (and why it matters)?
NVLAP is NIST’s third-party accreditation program. NVLAP-accredited labs are evaluated against strict technical requirements (including ISO/IEC 17025), ongoing proficiency testing, documented methods, and audited quality systems—so your asbestos results aren’t “just an opinion,” they’re quality-controlled data.
How regulations tie in
Accreditation isn’t just “nice to have.” Certain regulated programs (for example, the EPA’s school requirements under AHERA) require analysis by labs accredited under NIST’s NVLAP program. Colorado regulators also emphasize that suspect materials should be tested by an accredited laboratory for dependable identification.
Advent inspections are affordable by design — accurate by default
-
Highly-competitive pricing that makes asbestos identification simple Clear, practical options—so you can get answers without paying for confusion.
-
Lowest-cost point count pricing in Colorado When results are low, point counting can be the difference between “uncertain” and “actionable.” We price it to be easy to choose.
-
Why point counting matters Point counting improves confidence when asbestos content is low, supports defensible decisions, and can help avoid unnecessary abatement or over-scoped work.
Prefer to verify the accreditation framework yourself? NVLAP (NIST) | AHERA lab requirement (40 CFR 763.87)
Note: Advent coordinates independent laboratory analysis; analytical results are issued by the laboratory as part of your project documentation.
CDPHE-Approved, Certified Reports

Every asbestos inspection we perform includes a detailed, written report prepared by a CDPHE-certified asbestos consulting firm. Our reports are legally valid, permit-ready, comply with EPA/CDPHE regulations and are accepted by building officials. In fact, any report issued by someone who is not a certified asbestos consulting firm is considered null and void by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE).
