CLP CLASSIFICATION
Under the CLP-Regulation (classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures) RCF/ASW has been classified as a 1B carcinogen (“presumed to have carcinogenic potential for humans, classification is largely based on animal evidence”). 2.1.2 Classification according to directive 67/548/EEC RCF/ASW have been classified as a category 2 carcinogen (“substances which should be regarded as if they are carcinogenic to man”)
Additional information
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) reaffirmed that group 2B (“possibly carcinogenic to humans”) remains the appropriate classification for RCF/ASW. st In accordance with 31 Adaptation to Technical Progress (ATP) of Directive 67/548/ECC as published 15th January 2009 the classification as “irritant” has been removed for all types of man made vitreous fibres (MMVFs). The 1st Adaptation to Technical Progress (ATP) to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 entered into force on 25 September 2009. It transfers the 30th and 31st ATPs of Directive 67/548/EEC to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
