Health and safety

Improving health and safety in the areas of production and processing of silicon carbide is a key target of SiCMa. The Association is closely following and contributing to ongoing studies by various research institutions in Europe.

Several guidance documents and scientific publications are available on health and safety related aspects of silicon carbide, such as a REACH compliant SDS guideline for silicon carbide products.

Furthermore SiCMa is administering an internal database with significant literature entries on silicon carbide published over the past decades.

For the Classification of SiC crude and grains and SiC fibers please see section CLP.
