SECTION 2: Hazards identification

OSHA HCS 2012 (a) Classification of the chemical in accordance with paragraph (d) of §1910.1200 In 1988 the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified "ceramic fibers" as possible human carcinogens (Group 2B), and at that time, polycrystalline wool was included in this broad category of materials. See section 11 for more information. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) 2012 indicates that IARC Group 2B corresponds to OSHA HCS 2012 Category 2 carcinogen classification (see, e.g., §1910.1200, Appendix F, Part D). (b) Signal word, hazard statement(s), symbol(s) and precautionary statement(s) in accordance with paragraph (f) of §1910.1200 Under OSHA HCS 2012, RCF is classified as a category 2 carcinogen.
