Mission & Scope
What amianto.info is, who it serves, and why it exists.
What Amianto.info Is
Amianto.info is the global directory of certified asbestos professionals. It is a platform that connects property owners, businesses, public bodies, and organisations with verified asbestos service providers across multiple countries and languages.
The platform covers the full spectrum of asbestos-related services: from initial surveys and laboratory analysis to removal, encapsulation, waste disposal, air monitoring, training, and consulting. Each listed professional is verified for relevant certifications and compliance within their jurisdiction.
Amianto.info is not a service provider. It does not carry out surveys, removals, or any physical asbestos work. It is a directory — a bridge between those who need asbestos services and the certified professionals who deliver them.
What Amianto.info Is Not
- Not an asbestos removal company. Amianto.info does not perform surveys, removals, testing, or any hands-on work. It is a directory that helps users find professionals who do.
- Not a country-specific platform. Despite the domain name's Italian and Spanish origin ("amianto" means asbestos in both languages), the platform is global. No single country's regulatory framework takes precedence.
- Not an advocacy group or activist organisation. The platform presents factual, regulation-based information. It does not campaign for or against specific policies.
- Not a news outlet. While amianto.info curates industry news and publishes educational content, its primary function is the professional directory.
Geographic Scope
Amianto.info is built from the ground up to serve a global audience. The directory currently covers professionals and regulations across six target market regions, with plans to expand:
North America
United States and Canada, covering EPA, OSHA, AHERA, and provincial regulations.
United Kingdom
HSE, UKAS, and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, including the Duty to Manage framework.
Oceania
Australia and New Zealand, where asbestos has been totally banned since 2003.
Western Europe
France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, and more — each with country-specific regulations plus EU directives.
Southern & Eastern Europe
Spain, Portugal, Poland, Romania, and others with growing enforcement and large legacy volumes of asbestos-containing materials.
Latin America & Emerging Markets
Brazil, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, and other markets where regulatory frameworks are developing.
Every country's regulations are sovereign and valid within their jurisdiction. Amianto.info never presents one country's standards as the global benchmark. All regulatory references specify the exact jurisdiction and governing body.
The Problem We Are Solving
The asbestos services industry is fragmented. In most countries, there is no single, authoritative directory where property owners or organisations can find verified professionals. The information that does exist is often local, outdated, inconsistent across borders, or buried in government databases that are difficult to navigate.
For property owners, this means searching across multiple sources, with no easy way to compare qualifications, certifications, or coverage areas. For professionals, it means limited visibility beyond their local market and no standardised way to demonstrate compliance and credibility to international clients.
Amianto.info was built to solve this. One platform. Multiple countries. Multiple languages. Verified professionals. Clear, regulation-specific information.
Who Benefits
Property Owners & Homeowners
Find certified asbestos professionals by location, service type, and certification. Compare profiles, check compliance records, and contact providers directly. Whether it is a residential survey or a commercial building assessment, the directory helps you find the right professional.
Businesses & Public Bodies
Facility managers, compliance officers, and government agencies use amianto.info to identify verified professionals across jurisdictions. The platform supports cross-border procurement and regulatory compliance for organisations operating in multiple countries.
Asbestos Professionals
Surveyors, removal specialists, laboratories, consultants, and training providers gain visibility in a directory built specifically for the asbestos sector. Verified profiles, certification showcase tools, and exposure to qualified leads help professionals grow their client base beyond local markets.
Researchers & Regulators
The platform provides structured regulation data, country-by-country comparisons, and an open ACM (asbestos-containing materials) database. These resources support research, policy development, and public awareness initiatives.
Where We Are Going
Launched in 2025, amianto.info is a new and growing platform. We are honest about our scale today. The directory is expanding its coverage city by city, country by country, and service by service.
The long-term vision is to become the definitive global reference for asbestos professional services — a platform that any property owner, business, or government body in any country can use to find a verified professional in their area, in their language, with full clarity on local regulations and requirements.
This is not a goal achieved overnight. It is built incrementally, with every new listing, every verified profile, and every regulation record bringing the platform closer to that standard.
