2.3 Other hazards
Carbon fibre with a filament diameter >4μm is not considered respirable. World Health Organisation defines a respirable fibre as a fibre with a diameter (d) <3 μm, a length (l) >5 μm and an l/d-ratio ≥ 3. Carbon fibre is not considered a dangerous substance according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP). Carbon fibre is electrically conductive and may cause short- circuits in electrical installations. Processing may create a combustible dust and could result in fire and/or explosion should the necessary dust concentration in air and ignition source be present. Filaments and dust/particulates from machining cured product may cause mechanical irritation to the upper respiratory tract. Pre-existing respiratory disorders may be aggravated.
