[Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1) to (3), clear evidence of carcinogenicity including malignant tumors was observed in two animal species, and based on (4), this substance is a target substance in the public announcement on guidelines in order to prevent the impairment of worker's health caused by the chemical substances decided by the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare based on paragraph (3) of Article 28 of the Industrial Safety and Health Act, and emphasizing these, it was classified in Category 1B. [Evidence Data] (1) In a carcinogenicity study (OECD TG 451, GLP) with rats dosed by drinking water for two years using this substance as the test substance, marked increases in the incidences of hepatocellular adenoma and hepatocellular carcinoma were observed in the liver in males and females, and in addition, an increase in the incidence of transitional cell papilloma and transitional cell papilloma or carcinoma (combined) was observed in the urinary bladder of males. It was concluded that these results were clear evidence of carcinogenicity of this substance in male and female rats (Results from Carcinogenicity Studies (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, 2004), IARC 123 (2020)). (2) In a carcinogenicity study (OECD TG 451, GLP) with mice dosed by drinking water for two years using this substance as the test substance, an increase in the incidence of hepatocellular adenoma in the liver was observed in males, a marked increase in the incidence of hepatocellular adenoma and hepatocellular carcinoma was observed in females, and an increase in the incidence of papillary adenoma was also observed in the gall bladder of males and females. It was concluded that these results were evidence of carcinogenicity of this substance in male mice and clear evidence of carcinogenicity in female mice (Results from Carcinogenicity Studies (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, 2004), IARC 123 (2020)). (3) Since this substance and free base o-phenylenediamine (CAS RN 95-54-5) are expected to undergo a pH-dependent acid-base equilibrium in the body, the results of carcinogenicity study for one compound can be used as information on the carcinogenicity assessment for the other (IARC 123 (2020)). (4) This substance is a target substance in the public announcement on guidelines in order to prevent the impairment of worker's health caused by the chemical substances decided by the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare based on paragraph (3) of Article 28 of the Industrial Safety and Health Act (guidelines in order to prevent the impairment of worker's health, announcement No. 27 on February 7, 2020). (5) As for the classification results by domestic and international organizations, the IARC classified this substance in Group 2B (IARC 123 (2020)), the Japan Society For Occupational Health (JSOH) classified it in Group 2B (Recommendation of Occupational Exposure Limits (2020): Proposed in 2019) and the EU classified it in Carc. 2 (EU-CLP Classification Results (Accessed Sep. 2021)). [Reference Data, etc.] (6) Also in a carcinogenicity study with male rats and male and female mice dosed by feeding this substance for 18 months (rats were necropsied 6 months later), an increase in the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma was observed (IARC 123 (2020), Risk Assessment Report (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, 2014), Environmental Risk Assessment for Chemical Substances (Ministry of the Environment, 2014), AICIS (previous NICNAS) IMAP (2013), ACGIH (7th, 2001), Patty (6th, 2012)). (7) As for the assessment of carcinogenicity of this substance, no human data were available (IARC 123 (2020)). |
