Statute overview

About this statute

The regulation bans manufacturing, importing, selling, and using asbestos and asbestos-containing products, but it does not apply to asbestos handling that is part of buildings or structures. This provision defines “asbestos” as certain fibrous serpentine and amphibole minerals. Asbestos and products intentionally mixed with asbestos may not be manufactured, imported, sold, or used, except in the cases referred to in 4 §. Användning av vissa krysotilhaltiga produkter är tillåten tills de tas ur bruk eller tills ersättningsmaterial finns tillgängliga. This section says the regulation enters into force on 1 January 2005 and repeals the 1992 Council of State decision on asbestos products.
