| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Oral） | Category 3 |
|
Danger | H301: Toxic if swallowed |
P301+P310: IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）. P330: Rinse mouth. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Based on the rat LD50 (oral route) value of 123mg/kg (RTECS (2005)). |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Dermal） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Due to the fact that the substance is "solid" according to the GHS definition and inhalation of its gas is not expected. |
| 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 | Category 3 | - | Warning | H316: Causes mild skin irritation | P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. | Based on the description in the report on rabbit skin primary irritation tests (RTECS (2005)): "Mild," though the results are not those of 4-hour application. The substance is thus considered a "mild irritant." |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 1 |
|
Danger | H318: Causes serious eye damage |
P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. |
Based on the description in the report on rabbit eye irritation tests: "Severe," suggesting that the substance is severely irritating to the eye (though only limited study detail is available). Given the absence of data on reversibility, the substance is classified into Category 1-2A, but should be placed in Category 1 from the viewpoint of safety. |
| 4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available As for the health hazards, refer to "ID106, Silver, CAS: 7440-22-4." |
| 6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available As for the health hazards, refer to "ID106, Silver, CAS: 7440-22-4." |
| 7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available As for the health hazards, refer to "ID106, Silver, CAS: 7440-22-4." |
| 8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 2 (skin, respiratory system) |
|
Warning | H373: May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (skin, respiratory system) |
P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Based on the human evidence including "argyria," and "irritation of the nose, dyspnea, hemorrhage, incrustation and nasal septum perforation" (HSDB (1998)). |
| 10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Acute） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data |
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data |
