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 Not classified - - - - Considered non-pyrophoric when in contact with air at ordinary temperatures since the substance is stable to heat (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data)
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Classification not possible - - - - Test method applicable to liquid substances are not available (melting point: 48-49degC (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data), test temperature: 140degC).
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 and fluorine (but not chlorine), with the oxygen and fluorine 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 - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data on the substances with melting points of <55degC (melting point: 48-49degC (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 (1995)).
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Not classified - - - - Based on the rabbit LD50 (dermal route) value of >5,000mg/kg (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1995)).
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) Not classified - - - - Based on the rat LC50 (inhalation route) value of >5.0mg/L (4 hours), together with the absence of mortality (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1995)).
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Not classified - - - - In rabbit skin irritation tests, mild irritation was noted immediately after the application with a score of 0.2, but the effects cleared up by 24 hours (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1995)).
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Not classified - - - - In rabbit eye irritation tests, mild irritation was noted immediately after instillation with a score of 0.2, but the effects cleared up by 24 hours (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1995)).
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 employing the Maximization method (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1995)).
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 (1995)) and in vivo micronucleus tests on mouse bone marrow cells (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1995)).
6 Carcinogenicity Not classified - - - - There was no treatment-related increase in tumor incidence observed in rat and mouse carcinogenicity studies (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1995)).
7 Reproductive toxicity Not classified - - - - Based on no evidence of adverse effects on reproduction or offspring development observed in rat reproduction studies and rat/rabbit teratogenicity studies (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1995)).
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data available.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 2 (liver) Warning H373: May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (liver) 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 evidence from animal studies including "increased weights of liver and kidneys, and hepatocellular swelling," "darkening of the liver," "liver swelling," and "hepatocellular swelling" (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1995)). These effects were observed at dosing levels within the guidance value ranges for Category 2.
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 1 Warning H400: Very toxic to aquatic life P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P391: Collect spillage.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Since a potential that relevant toxicity was discovered in the water solubility (0.44mg/L(HSDB, 2004)) of this substance cannot be denied from 96-hour LC50=1.13mg/L of the fish (Carp) (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data, 1995), it was classified into Category 1.
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) Category 1 Warning H410: Very 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 1 and rapidly degrading and bio-accumulation were unknown, it was classified into Category 1.
