The Asbestos (Prohibitions) Regulations 1992 as amended.
These regulations prohibit the importation into the United
Kingdom, and the supply and use within Great Britain, of amphibole
asbestos - crocidolite (blue) asbestos and amosite (brown)
asbestos, and, as amended in 1999, of chrysotile (white)
asbestos.
These regulations do not cover the supply and fitting of
asbestos-containing vehicle brake linings. This is prohibited by
separate regulations from the Department of the Environment,
Transport and the Regions - The Road Vehicles (Brake Linings
Safety) Regulations 1999.
