You are partially right ic1927.
The Artex brand stopped using asbestos in 1985. However, old stock and other brands still contained it until it was banned in 1999. Therefore, H&S guidelines recommend that all pre '99 surfaces should be treated with caution.
I am not trying to worry anyone with this as the risk to general DIYers is minimal, but those working with it regularly should be careful.
