The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006, were strengthened on 6th April 2007. Anyone who certifies that premises are safe to be re-occupied following asbestos work, must be accredited to carry out such work.
The site clearance certificate requires that premises where licensable work has been carrited out, has been thoroughly cleaned and is safe for re-occupation. Contractors who issue these certificates must conform with the specified requirements in two international standards - ISO, 17020 and ISO 17025.
The United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS), is currently the sole recognised accreditation body in the UK.
