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

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: 86.3-88.2degC (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 (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: 86.3-88.2degC (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 (1988)).
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Not classified - - - - Based on the rat LD50 (dermal route) value of >5,000mg/kg (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1988)).
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 >6.52mg/L (4 hours), together with the absence of mortality (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1988)).
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Not classified - - - - Based on no evidence of irritation observed in rabbit skin irritation tests (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1988)).
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Not classified - - - - Based on the evidence of conjunctival injection with a score of 1 at 1 hour after instillation; 0.2 at 24 hours; the effects cleared up by 72 hours in all affected animals (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1988)).
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 (1988)).
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Not classified - - - - Based on negative data in in vitro assays (reverse mutation tests, chromosome aberration tests and DNA repair tests) and mouse in vivo micronucleus tests (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1988, 2004)).
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - Based on a judgment made by experts in the absence of existing classification, though some data are available on carcinogenicity studies in rats and mice.
7 Reproductive toxicity Not classified - - - - Based on no evidence of adverse effects on reproduction or offspring development observed in rat 2-generation reproduction studies and rat/rabbit teratogenicity studies (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1988)).
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data available In a rat inhalation study, one test animal exhibited accumulation of whitish foamy fluid in the trachea, and dark reddening and edematous changes of the lung.
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 1 Warning H400: Very toxic to aquatic life P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P391: Collect spillage.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
It was classified into Category 1 from 72 hours EbC50=0.0977mg/L of the algae (Green Algae) (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data, 2004).
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 there was no rapidly degrading (BIOWIN), and since there wasbio-accumulation (log Kow=5.18 (PHYSPROP Database, 2005)), it was classified into Category 1.
