Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Administrative data

Description of key information

The investigation is classified as invalid based on present assessment criteria. Consequently, the studies cannot be used for the assessment of the carcinogenicity of the test substance.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Carcinogenicity: via oral route

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed
Study duration:
chronic
Species:
other: both rat and mice
Quality of whole database:
The investigation is classified as invalid based on present assessment criteria. Consequently, the studies cannot be used for the assessment of the carcinogenicity of the test substance

Carcinogenicity: via inhalation route

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Carcinogenicity: via dermal route

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

The studies reported by Pliss, et al. are insufficient for assessment due to data availability and inappropriate study design.

Inconclusive: No classification required

Additional information

In the studies reported by Pliss, doses of 60 and 10 mg/animal/week were given subcutaneously, and doses of 30 and 5 mg/animal 6 days/week the test item were administered orally in the diet to rats and mice, respectively. More than 50 % of the test animals died during the course of the study (23 to 24 months in rats and 12 to 16.5 months in mice studies). Some of the surviving rats developed tumors after 16 and 19 months. No control group was tested in parallel to evaluate the rate of spontaneous tumor development. No data is documented on age, sex and weight of the animals. No description of the type, significance and proliferation of the tumors is given. Especially no clear-cut differentiation is made between the development of chronic lipoid nephropathia in the kidney glomerula (fat type deposits) or pigment type deposits in the tubules of the kidney (probably resulting from the high dyestuff doses used) and the alleged tumors. The investigation is classified as invalid based on present assessment criteria. Consequently, the studies cannot be used for the assessment of the carcinogenicity of the test substance


Justification for selection of carcinogenicity via oral route endpoint:
All studies to be considered invalid for assessment.
