Information on non carcinogenicity
According to E.U. Directives the continuous filament glass fibers in these products are not
classified as carcinogenic.
Continuous filament glass fibers are not within the scope of Directive 67/548/EEC per amendment
97/69/EC since they are not "fibres with random orientation."
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in June, 1987, and in October, 2001,
