pursuant to EU protocol ECB/TM/26, rev. 7, Nota Q, Directive 97/69/EC. The results for the short term
biopersistence test by inhalation (IH test) was 6 days; well below the regulatory threshold of 10 days cited in
Directive 97/69/EC. Based on testing results, Solulite™ based products are not regarded as potential carcinogens
and they ARE EXEMPT from European classification as such. By virtue of these test results, these products ARE
EXEMPT from European regulatory guidelines that require hazard warning labels with specific risk phrases citing
respiratory disease potential. In addition, Solulite™ fibers have been tested in an independent laboratory, by
intratracheal (IT test) instillation, under a protocol that was consistent with the requirements of the German
Hazardous Substances Ordinance (BGBI. I pp. 1782, 2049, Third Amendment, Appendix V, No. 7). The half-life
clearance of Solulite™ fibers was 32.7 days; well below the applicable regulatory thresholds. Based on the IT test
results, Solulite™ products ARE EXEMPT from the requirements of the German Ordinance.
The definition of "irritant" contained in the hazard communication standard, 29 CFR 1900.1200, Appendix A, is "...a
reversible inflammatory effect on living tissue by chemical action...". Solulite™ fiber is an inert material which
doesn't interact chemically with exposed skin. However, there is a possibility that exposure to this product may
cause temporary mechanical irritation to the eyes, skin or respiratory tract (nose, throat, lungs). This temporary
irritation can be mitigated with proper handling practices designed to limit exposure and the use of protective
clothing (glasses, gloves, clothing).
This product has not been specifically evaluated by any regulatory authority or other classification entity, such as the
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) or the National Toxicology Program (NTP). Other types of
man-made vitreous fibers (MMVF) have been evaluated and subsequently classified as potential carcinogens.
Various classifications, such as "possible carcinogen", "probable carcinogen", and "reasonably anticipated to be a
carcinogen" have been given to other MMVF's.
