GHS hazard classes 4,4'-(4-iminocyclohexa-2,5… falls into
Hazard class Category From code Pictogram
Carcinogenicity GHS chapter 3.6 Category 1A or 1B H350 GHS08

Where two values are shown with “or”, the hazard statement is shared by more than one category or by more than one class, and the code alone does not say which. H272, for example, belongs to oxidising liquids and to oxidising solids — the physical state decides. The binding answer for a specific entry is in the CLP Annex VI table itself.

Safety Data Sheet

Getting an SDS for 4,4'-(4-iminocyclohexa-2,5…

A Safety Data Sheet is written for a product, not for a substance: the supplier of the grade you actually buy issues it, so two suppliers of 4,4'-(4-iminocyclohexa… issue two different sheets. That is why there is no single authoritative SDS for a substance to download — what there is, is the job of collecting the sheets for the products you hold and keeping them current as suppliers revise them.

04 · Precautionary statements

4,4'-(4-iminocyclohexa-2,5-die… precautionary statements

CLP Annex VI assigns 4 precautionary statements to 4,4'-(4-iminocyclohexa-2,5…. They are grouped the way a label groups them: what to do before handling, what to do when something has already happened, how to store it and how to dispose of it.

Response

What to do once exposure, spillage or fire has already happened.

05 · Names in the regulation

4,4'-(4-iminocyclohexa-2,5-die… name in 23 EU languages

CLP Annex VI Part 3 is published in every language edition of the regulation, and the identification column is written out in each of them. Nothing below is translated by us: each line is the name as that edition prints it. Under Art. 18(2) the substance name from Annex VI is a lawful product identifier, so this is the wording to put on a label going to that market — and where the cell lists several designations, any one of them qualifies.

4,4'-(4-iminocyclohexa-2,5-die… carcinogenicity classification

IARC classification Group 2B — Possibly carcinogenic to humans
IARC monographs Volume 57: (1993) Occupational Exposures of Hairdressers and Barbers and Personal Use of Hair Colourants; Some Hair Dyes, Cosmetic Colourants, Industrial Dyestuffs and Aromatic Amines; Volume 99: (2010) Some Aromatic Amines, Organic Dyes, and Related Exposures

Under the conditions of these 2-year feed studies, there was clear evidence of carcinogenicity of C.I. Basic Red 9monohydrochloride for male and female F344/N rats and for male and female B6C3F1 mice. In male rats, C.I. Basic Red 9 monohydrochloride caused squamous cell carcinomas, trichoepitheliomas and sebaceous adenomas of the skin,subcutaneous fibromas, thyroid gland follicular cell adenomas and follicular cell carcinomas, Zymbal gland carcinomas, and hepatocellular carcinomas. In female rats, C.I. Basic Red 9 monohydrochloride caused subcutaneous fibromas, thyroid gland follicular cell adenomas or carcinomas(combined), and Zymbal gland carcinomas. In male mice, C.I. Basic Red 9monohydrochloride caused hepatocellular carcinomas. In female mice, C.I.Basic Red 9 monohydrochloride caused hepatocellular carcinomas and adrenal gland pheochromocytomas or malignant pheochromocytomas (combined). Exposure to C.I.Basic Red 9 monohydrochloride also may have been related to increased incidences of mammary gland tumors in female rats and hematopoietic system tumors in female mice.

Classification of carcinogenicity: 1) evidence in humans: inadequate; 2) evidence in animals: sufficient. Overall summary evaluation of carcinogenic risk to humans is Group 2B: The agent is possibly carcinogenic to humans.

C.I. Basic Red 9 Monohydrochloride: reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.

An IARC group and a CLP classification answer different questions. IARC judges whether the evidence for cancer in humans is strong enough; CLP Annex VI is the legally binding EU classification. A substance can carry one and not the other.
