The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR12) came into force on 6 April 2012, updating The Control of Asbestos Regulations (2006). Along with the 2012 update, the 2012 regulations set out legal duties and updated the Approved Code of Practice (ACOP).

= Changes in regulations from 2006 to 2021 =

The differences between the two versions are fairly limited, although the 2012 regulations introduced additional notification requirements that apply to some types of non-licensed work.

Specifics of the changes around non-licenses work include:

* Notification of work and record keeping. Brief written records should be kept of non-licensed work which warrants notification. Copies should be retained of the notification along with a list of workers on the job. This should be annotated with an estimate of the level of likely exposure (based on experience of similar past tasks or published guidance) of those workers to asbestos.
* Medical surveillance. All workers (including self-employed personnel) doing notifiable non-licensed work with asbestos must be under health surveillance by a doctor. Workers who are already under health surveillance for licensed work do not need another medical examination for non-licensed work. However, medical examinations for notifiable non-licensed work are not acceptable for those doing licensed work.

= Additional 2012 changes =

Two ACOPs, L127 (The management of asbestos in non-domestic premises) and L143 (Work with materials containing asbestos) were consolidated into a single revised ACOP. The ACOP was revised to make legal compliance clearer to duty holders and to reflect the changes introduced in the 2012 regulations.

Some modernisation of language and changes to the 2012 regulations reflect other legislation. For instance, the prohibition of supply and use of asbestos is now covered by REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals Regulations 2006).
