The European Regulation (ER) on Chemicals N° 1907/2006 (REACH) enforced on June 1 st 2007 requires Material Safety
Data Sheet (MSDS) only for hazardous substances and mixtures/preparations. Mineral wool products (slabs, mats, pipe
sections or loos wool), are articles under REACH and therefore, MSDS is not legally required. Nevertheless, Paroc Group
decides to provide its customers with the appropriate information for assuring safe handling and use of mineral wool through
this MSDS.
