[Rationale for the Classification]
As for carcinogenicity, there is no available report in humans.
In tests conducted according to appropriate test guidelines and GLP standards, (1) and (2), clear evidence of carcinogenicity was observed in two animal species including malignant tumors. Therefore, it was classified in Category 1B.
Besides, the same test results as for the previous classification were used for the classification this time. However, the category was revised by putting importance on the fact that the substance was judged to be carcinogenic in animals in Results from Carcinogenicity Studies (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare), and that guidelines were issued by the ministry from concerns on carcinogenicity after discussions in the small committee of hazard evaluation.

[Evidence Data]
(1) In a carcinogenicity test in which rats were dosed for two years in the diet, an increased incidence of liver tumors (hepatocellular adenoma and carcinoma) was observed in both males and females (Results from Carcinogenicity Studies (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, 2006)).
(2) In a carcinogenicity test in which mice were dosed for two years in the diet, male and female an increased incidence of liver tumors (hepatocellular adenoma and carcinoma, hepatoblastoma) was observed in both males and females (Results from Carcinogenicity Studies (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, 2006)).
(3) As for classification results by domestic and international organizations, IARC classified it in Group 3 (IARC 65 (1995)), but the results of (1) and (2) were not used in its evaluation.

[Reference Data, etc.]
(4) In 78-week diet administration tests in rats and mice, increases in tumors in multiple organs in rats and an increase in hepatocellular carcinoma in mice were indicated (SIDS (2004), IARC 65 (1996), Environmental Risk Assessment for Chemical Substances vol. 15 (Ministry of the Environment, 2017)).
(5) Based on paragraph (3) of Article 28 of the Industrial Safety and Health Act, this substance is subject to 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 (Public announcement on guidelines in order to prevent the impairment of worker's health, No. 23, Oct 10, 2012).
