Innovation drivers An important impulse was the classification of ceramic fibres as carcinogenic category K2 (Directive 97/69/EC), which has been applicable since January 1998. Since July 2001 there has been a ban on the marketing of ceramic fibres for the general public . An impending ban also for the industrial sector caused alarm in the automotive industry. A scientific study by Wuppertal University" also directed attention on the subject of ceramic fibres in catalytic converter recycling .

The current EU hazard classification for SCCPs is as follows Carcinogen Category 3 R40 - N R50-53 (Risk Phrases R40 Limited evidence of a carcinogenic effect R50/53 Very toxic to aquatic organisms may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.)

Oak and beech wood dust have been classified as cardnogens, category 1 (known human carcinogens) since 1986. Unspecified wood dust as such is classified as a carcinogen, category 3 (known or suspected carcinogens with Umited evidence). (Technical Rule for Hazardous Substances N° 905,... 

For substmces that are classified as carcinogens Category 1 or 2 by the European Union (Directive 67/548/EEC) or by the DECOS-Committee and which, in addition, probably also have a genotoxic effect, a risk evaluation is carried out by the Committ. At the request of the Minister of Social Affairs and Employment, the committee derives so-called health-based calculated - occupational cancer risk values (HBC-OCRV) for these substances. The HBC-OCRV enables the calculation of dose levels and air concentrations associated with reference cancer risk levels for the occupational situation.
