HEALTH HAZARDS

Hazard class		Classification	Symbol	Signal word	Hazard statement	Precautionary statement	Rationale for the classification
1	Acute toxicity （Oral）	Category 4		Warning	H302: Harmful if swallowed	P301+P312: IF SWALLOWED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. P330: Rinse mouth. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...	It was set as Category 4 based on Rat LD50 value = 404mg/kg (DFGOT vol.5 (1993)) and 405mg/kg (CERI Hazard Data (2002)).
1	Acute toxicity （Dermal）	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
1	Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases）	Not applicable	-	-	-	-	Solid (GHS definition)
1	Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours）	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
1	Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists）	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
2	Skin corrosion/irritation	Not classified	-	-	-	-	Based on the description that there is no skin irritation on humans ACGIH (7th, 2001), it was classified as out of Category.
3	Serious eye damage/eye irritation	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
4	Respiratory sensitization	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
4	Skin sensitization	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
5	Germ cell mutagenicity	Category 2		Warning	H341: Suspected of causing genetic defects	P308+P313: IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention. P201: Obtain special instructions before use. P202: Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. P281: Use personal protective equipment as required. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...	Although there are no data from in vivo mutagenicity tests using germ cells nor from genotoxicity tests (BUA 26 (1988), RTECS (Access on Oct 2005)), the substance was classified as Category 2 because the in vivo micronucleus test in rats and mice is positive.
6	Carcinogenicity	Category 2		Warning	H351: Suspected of causing cancer	P308+P313: IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention. P201: Obtain special instructions before use. P202: Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. P281: Use personal protective equipment as required. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...	It is classified into the category 2 in EU (EU ANNEX I (2005)). But it is classified into A3 according to both IARC (IARC (2005)) and Japan Society for Occupational Health (2005), into A3 according to ACGIH (7th, 2001), and was classified into R according to NTP (2004). So it was set as Category 2.
7	Reproductive toxicity	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	Classification not possible due to lack of data
8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	Insufficient data available.
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	Classification not possible due to lack of data
10	Aspiration hazard	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

Hazard class		Classification	Symbol	Signal word	Hazard statement	Precautionary statement	Rationale for the classification
11	Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Acute）	Category 2	-	-	H401: Toxic to aquatic life	P273: Avoid release to the environment. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...	It was classified into Category 2 from 48-hour EC50=4.5mg/L of Crustacea (Daphnia magna) (MOE eco-toxicity tests of chemicals, 2000).
11	Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term）	Category 2		-	H411: Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects	P273: Avoid release to the environment. P391: Collect spillage. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...	Classified into Category 2, since acute toxicity was Category 2 and not rapidly degrading (BOD: 3% (existing chemical safety inspections data)), though less bio-accumulative (BCF=83 (existing chemical safety inspections data)).
