QUESTION GOVERNMENT RESPONSE

1. We understand that those are all certifications provided in U.S.A. after completing the courses and training/seminars.

How about the same kind of certifications or equivalent ones obtained in Japan (certified by Japanese Asbestos Association or Japanese Municipality) ?

An equivalent Asbestos regulation will not be accepted for the purpose of this Blanket Purchase Agreement. Sampling must be performed by either a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) or an EPA-accredited Asbestos Building Inspector. US accreditation (EAP asbestos building inspector) can be obtained through several commercial sources within Japan with reasonable cost.

2. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Tomoko Shioda at 042-552-3014 or by email at tomoko.shioda.jp@us.af.mil.
