n 2003, the European Union classified creosote as a carcinogen and restricted its use for both professional and amateur use. As a result, the sale of creosote to the general public in the UK is now prohibited under the Control of Pesticides Regulations (COPR) 1986 (ref. HSE - UK Government).

There are exceptions, however. Professional users who hold a valid certificate of competence in the safe use of timber treatments can still purchase and use creosote for specific applications. These applications include use on:

• Railway sleepers
• Telegraph poles
• Fencing for agricultural and industrial use
• On-site treatment of timber in industrial applications

Essentially, creosote can still be bought and used in the UK, but only by certified professionals for specific purposes.

Oh shit - it says "Traditional Creosote can only be sold to professional users." that excludes me then
