Liability insurance for process certified asbestos experts

New legislation increases need for insurance for certified asbestos experts

Since 23 November 2022, an asbestos certificate is mandatory when selling homes and buildings built before 2001. The Flemish Government has introduced this rule to identify the asbestos present in buildings and homes and to make Flanders asbestos-safe by 2040.

The required asbestos certificate is issued by OVAM and based on an asbestos inventory. Such an inventory as part of a sale may only be carried out by a certified asbestos expert. In anticipation of the new regulations, many asbestos experts are in the process of becoming certified. One of the requirements for obtaining the process certificate is to take out professional liability insurance. Hence the increasing need for a proper insurance solution for this professional group.
