The Validation and Innovation Point Asbestos (VIP) has issued positive advice to the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment about changes to the FiberCover® method. The advice relates to changes to work instructions on the removal of bonded, asbestos-containing window sills, cladding, glazing sealant, pipes and ductwork. These work instructions were validated on 28 July 2021 and then added to the SMA-rt web application (SMA-rt).

The Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment has asked Ascert (the SMA-rt manager) to add this change to SMA-rt.
