Is there a genuine ACOP as the blue L104 leaflet seems to be a combination of just regulations and guidance ?

Oh for an edit... Sorry, BJC, that wasn't what you were asking (I assume you meant L108 in the first place). I don't believe there's an ACoP.

I mistyped L04 it is L08 however I thought L s meant ACOP not just guidance.

L is for Legal series where most of the ACOPs ar located. But quite a a few of the L series are only guidance, another example to L108 is L25 on PPE.

Indeed you do L stands for legal reference therefore I presume it must have at least the Regulations contained as Guidance has no affirmed legal standing.

108 provides you with both the regulations and the associated guidance and this is most likely to be your best source of reference. HSE guidance does have a 'legal status' although this is 'less' than an ACoP http://www.hse.gov.uk/legislation/legal-status.htm
