Based on the description in the report on the rabbit skin irritation tests (CERI Hazard Data 2001-50 (2002)): "Moderate skin irritation" (though the results are not those of 4-hour application). | |
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 | - | - | - | - | The substance is considered non-sensitizing based on the description in the report on a Maximization test (CERI Hazard Data 2001-50 (2002)): "Application of 2% vaseline base induced no sensitization in 33 human volunteers." However, classification is not possible, with only one set of data showing "negative" available. |
5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Based on the absence of data on in vivo mutagenicity/genotoxicity tests and no strong positive data on mutagenicity tests in vitro (several indices), described in CERI Hazard Data 2001-50 (2002). |
6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Insufficient data available |

It was classified into Category 2 from 96 hours LC50=2200microg/L of the fish (Fathead Minnows) (MOE Risk Assessment vol. 3, 2004). |
11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Since there was rapidly degrading (the decomposition by BOD: 88.1%(salicylic acid (decomposition product)) (Existing Chemical Safety Inspections Data)) and the bio-accumulation was low (log Kow=1.81(PHYSPROP Database (2005))), it was claasified into Not classified. |
