Since the saturated vapor pressure concentration of this product is 12300ppm, it is thought that all inhalation tests were done with vapor. It was classified as Category 2 based on rat LC 50 with 1 hour exposure test = 500ppm (equivalent of LC50 = 249ppm in 4-hour exposure) (ACGIH (7th, 2001)). |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Category 1A-1C |
|
Danger | H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage |
P301+P330+P331: IF SWALLOWED: Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. P303+P361+P353: IF ON SKIN （or hair）: Remove/Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower. P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. P304+P340: IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.

Corrosivity and severe irritation on animals are described (IUCLID (2000)). It was classified as Category 1A-1C based on the fact that severe skin irritations is indicated also on humans (ACGIH (2001), HSDB (2005)) and that it is classified as EU-R35. |

This product is a skin corrosive substance. It was set as Category 1 based on what is indicated that caustics and severe irritation are indicated by the animal (IUCLID (2000)), and there is severe irritation also in humans (HSDB (2005), PATTY (5th, 2001)). |
| 4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | It was decided that the substance could not be classified by the technical guidelines. Because there are no results from in vivo mutagenicity tests, and only the data from the in vitro mutagenicity test (the bacterial reverse mutation test only) (IUCLID (2000)) are reported. |
| 6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 1 (respiratory system) |
|
Danger | H370: Causes damage to organs (respiratory system) |
P307+P311: IF exposed: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Based on the description that difficulty breathings and lung edemas are observed in humans (ACGIH (7th, 2001)), and that the strong respiratory tract irritation is reported (ACGIH (7th, 2001), HSDB (2005)), it was classified into Category 1 (respiratory system) |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
