Asbestos products have a very wide range of appearances. It is not possible to tell by simply looking at it whether a particular item contains asbestos or is a modern, version of the same product and does not contain asbestos. The only way to tell, if you don't know the construction history details, is to have a sample tested by a qualified laboratory.
Here's a good vendor online: http://www.safetyfile.com/catalog/fireproof-safes-for-data They're basically fireproof safes that need a digital password to open them.
I don't know what asbestos testing is. Can somebody tell me more about it?
The only way to tell for certain whether a corrugated paper or concrete material contains asbestos is to have a small sample analyzed by a qualified lab. However, if you know something about the history of the material (when it was manufactured, what company made it, when it was applied and for what purpose) you may be able to make some useful guesses.

To find out if a house has asbestos in it, you should first learn when it was built. Houses built in the US after about 1984 are unlikely to have any asbestos-containing materials involved in their construction. Then, have a qualified inspector examine the house and take samples of suspect building materials. Have them analyzed by a qualified lab and review the laboratory report or have it explained to you. It is impossible to tell by looking alone, or by a test performed in the home, whether any particular building material contains asbestos.
