ᐅ Handling of Bitumen Exterior Cladding Panels from 1968

Our house is covered with bitumen sheets.
We still have the application for their installation.
The material dates back to 1968 and was called Suprowall.
Unfortunately, a Google search didn’t return any results.
Is there an asbestos risk, or were natural fibers used in the product?
Can I safely remove and dispose of these sheets myself, or do I need to hire a professional company?

Google also indicates that the costs for a test range from about 35 to 120 euros, depending on how detailed the asbestos analysis needs to be ;-) I would definitely do this as a precaution if you don’t get a reliable positive statement.

Check "bitumen fiberboard," "bitumen cladding" (the latter also in the green forum), or this thread: https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/hausverkleidung-teerplatten-in-klinkeroptik.24686/#post-209617 – the material is probably made from Tyvek by DuPont.

Hello, we have a similar façade and want to demolish it. Did you carry out an asbestos test, or did you remove the façade yourself? How did you proceed? Thanks in advance.
