The European Union Directive 97/69/EC was adopted in December 1998. This directive sets the health and safety requirements for MMVF (Man-made vitreous fibre) products. The directive classifies the carcinogenicity of MMVF products into the following categories:
    Category 1:    carcinogenic to humans (asbestos)
    Category 2:    probably carcinogenic (ceramic fibre)
    Category 3:    possibly carcinogenic (insulation wools which have not been investigated)
    Category 4:    cannot be classified as carcinogenic (Paroc Insulation products)
    Paroc is a member of EUCEB and has the EUCEB Trademark in Finland, Sweden, Poland and Lithuania. All EU Member States have implemented the EU directive in their national legislation.
