For the subgroup 'Diarylide Pigments' of the Aromatic Azo and Benzidine-based Substance Grouping, the screening assessment is specific to five substances (Pigment Yellow 12, Pigment Yellow 13, Pigment Yellow 83, Pigment Yellow 176 and CPAOBP). Two substances in this subgroup, BPAOPB (CAS RN 7147-42-4) and Pigment Brown 22 (CAS RN 29398-96-7), have been previously assessed by the Government of Canada under the Challenge Initiative of the Chemicals Management Plan. Pigment Brown 22 is not included in this draft screening assessment, as no new information was received since its assessment in 2010 and because it does not inform the assessment of the five diarylide yellow pigments. BPAOPB is used as an analogue in this screening assessment report due to its structural similarity to the five diarylide yellow pigments. Information related to BPAOPB is used to inform this draft screening assessment report.

Five subgroups are included in this draft screening assessment report; Benzidine-based Acid Dyes (10 substances), Benzidine-based Direct Dyes (25 substances), Benzidine-based Precursors (2 substances), Benzidine-baseed Cationic Indicators (2 substances), and Benzidine derivatives (5 substances). Two substances related to this subgroup, Acid Red 111 (CAS RN 6358-57-2) and Direct Black 38 (CAS RN 1937-37-7), have been previously assessed under the Challenge Initiative of the Chemical Management Plan. It was then concluded that both Acid Red 111 and Direct Black 38 did not pose a risk to the environment or to human health as set out in section 64 of CEPA 1999. These conclusions remain unchanged. Information related to these substances was used to inform this draft screening assessment report.
