On March 28, 2025, Carmen Weiblen, Dominik Kisskalt, and Fabian Ziegler successfully passed the examination for the "VDI Expert for Asbestos in Building and Technical Installations" according to VDI 6202 Sheet 20.1 at the VDI in Düsseldorf, becoming some of the first in Germany to achieve this certification.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to our colleagues!
Why is the Asbestos Expert important?
The expert for asbestos according to VDI 6202 Sheet 20.1 plays a crucial role in the safe identification and assessment of asbestos-containing materials in buildings and technical installations. This qualification ensures that professionals possess comprehensive knowledge and skills to accurately identify asbestos hazards and implement appropriate remediation measures. Additionally, asbestos experts certified according to VDI 6202 Sheet 20.1 meet the requirements for a "qualified person" as per LAGA M23.
The LAGA M23 requires that the asbestos-free status of construction and demolition waste, as well as the successful completion of asbestos remediation and the separation of asbestos-containing materials or components, must be confirmed by an expert or a qualified person according to VDI 6202 Sheet 20.1.
