asbestos checks in classic cars

[foibles]

Does anyone know of a testing facility that is able to check for - and certify the results of - asbestos checks in classic cars? for instance, presence of asbestos in brake pads, heat shields, clutch - anywhere else where asbestos may have been used on cars manufactured in the 80's...
