Are there any regulations or standards that address the use and safety of ceramic fiber products?

Yes, there are several regulations and standards that address the use and safety of ceramic fiber products. These include the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations in the United States, which set permissible exposure limits for airborne fibers. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies certain types of ceramic fibers as potentially carcinogenic. Additionally, the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) provides threshold limit values for exposure. Manufacturers and users must adhere to these standards to ensure the safe handling and use of ceramic fiber products. Compliance often involves proper training, use of personal protective equipment, and implementing engineering controls to minimize exposure.
