Does the 10 square metre rule apply to the carpet underlay?

No. The 10 square metre rule only applies to the removal of 10 square metres or more of bonded asbestos containing material, such as asbestos cement sheeting or asbestos vinyl tiles. Bonded asbestos containing material is a material that contains a bonding compound reinforced with asbestos fibres. Carpet underlay that contains asbestos fibres is to be regarded as a ‘friable’ asbestos containing material. Therefore, ‘B class’ bonded asbestos removal certificate holders are not authorised to remove carpet underlay that contains asbestos fibres.
