Class B — non-friable
Non-friable removal above 10 m² — bonded asbestos in cement, vinyl, eaves.
The regulation in plain English
Class B work is the bread-and-butter of NZ residential asbestos removal: super-six roofing, fibrolite cladding, vinyl floor sheet, asbestos-cement eaves and bath panels. The matrix is bonded — the material cannot be crumbled by hand pressure when dry. Above 10 m² across the property, a Class B licensed removalist is required by regulation 12 of the 2016 Regulations.

- Restricted-area signage and barriers
- Removal of intact non-friable material with wetting/encapsulant
- Double-bagged, manifest-tracked disposal
- Visual clearance inspection on completion
- Tip dockets and disposal manifest returned to owner
What's not included
- No friable component — material must remain bonded throughout
- No mandatory air-monitoring or written clearance cert (recommended for ≥30 m²)
- No WorkSafe notification required for Class B work
