Asbestos Test Study Guide UPDATED
ACTUAL Exam Questions and CORRECT
Answers
Category 1 nonfriable asbestos-containing material (AMC) - CORRECT ANSWER - means
asbestos-containing packages, gaskets, resilient floor covering, and asphalt roofing products
containing more than 1 percent asbestos as determined using the method specified in appendix E,
subpart E, 40 CRF part 763, section 1, Polarized Light Microscopy
Category II nonfiriable AMC - CORRECT ANSWER - means any material, excluding
Category I nonfirable AMC, containing more than 1 percent asbestos as determined using the
method specified in appendix E, subpart E, 40 CRF part 763, section 1, Polarized Light
Microscopy that , when dry, cannot be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand
pressure
Demolition - CORRECT ANSWER - means the wrecking of tacking out of any load-
supporting structural member of a facility together with any related handling operations or the
international burning of any facility
Friable asbestos material - CORRECT ANSWER - means any material containing more than
1 percent asbestos as determined using the method specified in appendix E, subpart E, 40 CRF
part 763, section 1, Polarized Light Microscopy that , when dry, can be crumbled, pulverized, or
reduced to powder by hand pressure. If the asbestos content is less than 10 percent as determined
by a method other than point counting by polarized light microscopy (PLM), verify the asbestos
content by point counting using PLM.
Regulated asbestos-containing material (RAMC) - CORRECT ANSWER - means (a) Friable
asbestos material, (b) Category I nonfriable AMC that has become friable, (c) Category I
nonfirbale AMC that will be or has been subjected to sanding, grinding, cutting, or abrading, or
(d) Category II Nonfirable ACM that has become crumbled, pulverized, or recorded, or reduced
to powder by the forces expected to act on the material in the course of demolition or renovation
operations regulated by this subpart
, Renovations - CORRECT ANSWER - means altering a facility or one or more facility
components in any way, including the stripping or removal of RAMC from a facility component.
Operations in which load-supporting structural members are wrecked or taken out of
demolitions.
Visible emissions - CORRECT ANSWER - means any emissions, which are visually
detectable with out the help of instruments, coming form RAMC or asbestos-containing waste
material, or form any asbestos milling, manufacturing, or fabricating operations. This does not
include condensed, uncombined water vapor
61.145 Standard for demolition and renovation (a) 1 (i) - CORRECT ANSWER - At least 80
linear meters (260 linear feet) on pipes or at least 15 square meters (160 square feet) on another
facility components
61.145 Standard for demolition and renovation (a) 1 (ii) - CORRECT ANSWER - At least 1
cubic meter (35 cubic feet) off facility components where the length or area could not be
measured previously
Asbestos containing material (AMC) ~ Schools - CORRECT ANSWER - when referring to
school buildings means any material or product which contains more than 1 percent asbestos.
Asbestos-containing building material (ACBM) ~ Schools - CORRECT ANSWER - means
surfacing AMC, thermal system insulation, or miscellaneous AMC that is found in or on interior
structural members of other parts of a school building
Functional Space ~ Schools - CORRECT ANSWER - means any room, group of rooms, or
homogeneous area (including crawl spaces or the space between a dropped ceiling and the floor
or roof deck above), such as classroom(s), a cafeteria, gymnasium, hallway(s), designated by a
person accredited to prepare management plans, design abatement projects, or conduct response
actions
Homogeneous area - CORRECT ANSWER - means any area of surfacing material, thermal
systems insulation material, or miscellaneous material that is uniform in color and texture
