| 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. |

P285: In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Due to the fact that nickel compounds are classified into "Respiratory Sensitizing Substances: Group 2" according to the Recommendation on Occupational Exposure Limits for Chemical Substances (Japan Society for Occupational Health (2005)) (though not specifying nickel sulfate). |
| 4 | Skin sensitization | Category 1 |
|

| 8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available The acute toxicity of nickel compounds manifests in humans as "nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, headache" (ECETOC TR33 (1989)). |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available Chronic exposure to nickel and its compounds may produce respiratory irritation and degeneration in humans even at doses close to occupational exposure limits. Prolonged exposure to high concentrations is likely to result in the fibroid lung (ECETOC TR33 (1989)). |
| 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） | 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 hours LC50=0.461mg/L(Nickel Nitrate Equivalent: 1.435mg/L) of the crustacea (Moina) (CERI/NITE Hazard Assessment Report (preliminary version), 2006). |
| 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 ... |
Since acute toxicity was Category 2 and it was a metallic compound and an underwater action and bio-accumulation were unknown, it was classified into Category 2. |
