Where is the Qualibat list?
On Qualibat's documentation page, the section labelled “Traitement de l'amiante” contains a link introduced by “Consultez la liste des entreprises certifiées”. The adjacent rules link identifies the certification code to look for:
1552
The linked PDF is titled “Liste des entreprises - Traitement de l'amiante”. A search within the PDF for the firm's name or SIRET locates its row. The list's column headings distinguish “Raison sociale”, the company name, from “SIRET”, the establishment identifier, and also provide the address and town. These fields support comparison with the establishment named on the firm's certificate.
Which fields need checking?
The published list separates “Etape de la certification”, “Secteurs” and “Date d'échéance”. Its sector entries include building interiors, building exteriors, industrial installations, transport equipment, and civil engineering and naturally asbestos-bearing land. The sector wording and expiry date are part of the check alongside the firm's identity.
The stage labels include “PRE-CERTIFICATION”, “PROBATOIRE” and “QUINQUENNALE”. Qualibat's rules, applicable from 31 May 2024, give pre-certification a duration of six months and require declaration of the first job for an audit. The firm must await the award of probationary certification before undertaking the next job. The rules give probationary certification an initial duration of two years and quinquennial certification a duration of five years.
What document confirms the details?
Under Qualibat's certification rules, the certificate serves as the official attestation for third parties. It covers the current certification stage and receives an annual update using information supplied in the firm's monitoring questionnaire. The separate decision notification informs the company of the commission's decision.
The same rules require a firm without a valid certificate to cease using the Qualibat mark and referring to its previously held asbestos certification. For a firm naming another certifier, the INRS search guidance provides links to AFNOR Certification and Global Certification alongside Qualibat.
