PHYSICAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Explosives Not applicable - - - - Containing no chemical groups with explosive properties
2 Flammable gases (including chemically unstable gases) Not applicable - - - - Classified as "solid" according to GHS definition
3 Aerosols Not applicable - - - - Not aerosol products
4 Oxidizing gases Not applicable - - - - Classified as "solid" according to GHS definition
5 Gases under pressure Not applicable - - - - Classified as "solid" according to GHS definition
6 Flammable liquids Not applicable - - - - Classified as "solid" according to GHS definition
7 Flammable solids Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data
8 Self-reactive substances and mixtures Not applicable - - - - Containing no chemical groups with explosive or self-reactive properties
9 Pyrophoric liquids Not applicable - - - - Classified as "solid" according to GHS definition
10 Pyrophoric solids Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Classification not possible - - - - Test method applicable to liquid substances are not available (melting point: 125.8-147.1degC (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data), test temperature: 140degC). The substances with melting point of >140degC cannot be classified due to lack of data.
12 Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases Not applicable - - - - Containing no metals or metalloids (B, Si, P, Ge, As, Se, Sn, Sb, Te, Bi, Po, At)
13 Oxidizing liquids Not applicable - - - - Classified as "solid" according to GHS definition
14 Oxidizing solids Not applicable - - - - Organic compounds containing oxygen (but not fluorine and chlorine), with the oxygen bound to carbon and hydrogen (but not to other elements)
15 Organic peroxides Not applicable - - - - Organic compounds containing no "-O-O-" structure
16 Corrosive to metals Classification not possible - - - - Test methods applicable to solid substances with melting point of >55degC are not available (melting point: 125.8-147.1degC (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data)).

HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Not classified - - - - Based on the rat LD50 (oral route) value of >5,000mg/kg (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1984)).
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Not classified - - - - Based on the rat LD50 (dermal roue) value of >5,000mg/kg (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1984)).
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Due to the fact that the substance is a solid according to the GHS criteria 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 - - - - Classification cannot be determined, though the available rat inhalation study reported the LC50 value of >0.55mg/L (4 hours) (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1984)).
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Not classified - - - - Based on no evidence of irritation in rabbit skin irritation tests (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1984)).
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Not classified - - - - Based on the evidence of mild irritation with a Draize score of <=1, which cleared at 72 hours, observed in rabbit eye irritation tests (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1984)).
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
4 Skin sensitization Not classified - - - - No skin sensitizing potential was found in guinea pig sensitization tests (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1984)).
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Not classified - - - - Based on negative data in in vitro reverse mutation tests, in vitro chromosome aberration tests (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1984)) and in vivo micronucleus tests on mouse bone marrow cells (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1984)).
6 Carcinogenicity Not classified - - - - There was no treatment-related increase in tumor incidence observed in rat and mouse carcinogenicity studies (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1984)).
7 Reproductive toxicity Category 2 Warning H361: Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child 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 ...
Based on the evidence of delayed ossification in the pups, reduced female fertility, increased incidence of resorptions/fetal malformation at doses causing a reduction in parental body weight gain observed in rat/rabbit teratogenicity studies (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1984)).
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data available.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data available.
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 96 hours LC50=3.5mg/L of the fish (Carp) (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data, 2004).
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 ...
Although acute toxicity was Category 2 and the bio-accumulation potential was low (BCF=203(Agricultural Chemical Registration Data, 1979)), since there was no rapidly degrading (BIOWIN()), it was classified into Category 2.
