IARC evaluations in DOHSBase
DOHSBase helps you to track the substances covered by European and National regulations for carcinogens (registration and substitution obligation, labeling). One of the sources used are the IARC evaluations (www.IARC.fr), in addition to the ECHA harmonized CLP Classifications (CLH), the ECHA notifications for Carc.Cat 1/2, the assessments translated to GHS H350/H351 by ACGIH and the Dutch Health Council. You can find these assessments in the ‘Hazard Statements’ tab in the Classification and GHS fields, IARC’s substantiation for classification is in the ‘Limits and Documents’ tab.
Addition of IARC substantiations in new DOHSBase update
In the latest DOHSBase update, the underpinnings of the IARC classifications, of IARC monographs volume 117 to 130, have been added as PDFs.
The available substantiations of the IARC evaluations can be found in the overview at the limits as follows:
1. After searching for a particular substance, go to the “Limit Values and Documents” tab.
2. Then click on the ‘More….’ button, and scroll down to find the line with the IARC data.
3. Then click on this line, and a pop-up with the IARC classification will appear, including a link to the source and substantiation (pdf).
