Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Due to the inert/inorganic nature of the FMMVF fibres, no systemic effects are expected. From the experimental studies investigated no systemic effects have been described. The local dermal effect, is of a reversible mechanical nature. This does not result in a classification, cf. Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (1. ATP in Regulation (EC) 790/2009) as irritant. The only relevant exposure route is via inhalation. In the experimental data, no significant evidence were found for a carcinogenic effect, thus the highest dose tested can be considered NOAEL. Another NOAEL for fibrosis, was obtained from the same experiment, Effect level was 3.1 mg/m3 (corresponding to 34 fibres per cm3), with the assessment factor 7.5; 0.67 for correction of experimental to human exposure conditions, and AF 3 for intraspecies (workers), leading the a DNEL for workers of 0.2 mg/m3, corresponding to 2.24 fibres ml. This DNEL was suggested for the Chemical Safety Assessment.

Additional information - General Population
Due to the inert/inorganic nature of the FMMVF fibres, no hazards associated with systemic toxicity are expected and from the experimental studies investigated no systemic effects have been described. The DNEL for workers is based on a local inhalation effect, primarily related to the physical form of the fibre substance and not its systemic toxicity. The only relevant exposure route is therefore via direct inhalation of the fibres themselves. It is not possible for this exposure to be expressed once the substance is bound into article form (the only source of consumer contact) and it is not possible for this exposure to be expressed as man via the environment since the substance will no longer be present in the same fibre dimensions once it has been through environmental processes and won’t be airborne for inhalation exposure to be a possibility.
Therefore exposure assessment and risk characterisation are not required for man via the environment as no hazard has been identified for long term systemic effects.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
