3 Aerosols Not applicable - - - - Not aerosol products
4 Oxidizing gases Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
5 Gases under pressure Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
6 Flammable liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
7 Flammable solids Classification not possible - - - - No data available
8 Self-reactive substances and mixtures Type G - - - - Not the transportation prohibition substance and not included in UNRTDG No. 3221 to 3241, though it contains unsaturated bonds as chemical groups associated with self-reactive properties present and Fe-C bonds as chemical groups with explosive properties present.
9 Pyrophoric liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)

P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
P330: Rinse mouth.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
SPECIES: Rat ENDPOINT: LD50 VALUE: 1320 mg/kg REFERENCE SOURCE: PATTY (5th, 2001)
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Category 3 - Warning H316: Causes mild skin irritation P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. It was classified as Category 3 from the statement of skin irritation on humans (PATTY (5th, 2001)).
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 2B - Warning H320: Causes eye irritation P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
P337+P313: If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
Based on the statement of the eye irritations to humans, it was set as Category 2B.
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 - - - - Although there were the negative statements (PATTY (5th, 2001)) for the in vitro tests of Ames test and the sister chromatid exchange tests, we did not have in vivo data. Therefore we could not classify it.
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - There is a statement that cancer was acknowledged at the injection site in the test using rats by intramuscular injections (PATTY (5th, 2001)) and that carcinogenesis is not acknowledged by the oral administration (capsule) to dogs (HSDB (2005)). But there is no report of evaluation organizations, such as IARC. Therefore, it cannot be classified.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - Although there is a statement of testicular hyperplasia in dog administration test for six-month (ACGIH (2001)), it cannot be classified due to insufficient data.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 3 (Respiratory tract irritation) Warning H335: May cause respiratory irritation (respiratory tract irritation) P304+P340: IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
P403+P233: Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed.
P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P271: Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
P312: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
It is classified into Category 3 (respiratory irritation) from the statement of respiratory irritation to humans (PATTY (5th, 2001)).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 2 (nasal cavity) Warning H373: May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (nasal cavity) 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 ...
There is no report in human. It was classified into Category 2 (nasal cavity) from the statement that necrotic inflammation, atypical, and reproduction were acknowledged in the nose within the guidance value of Category 2 in the inhalation exposure test of a rat and a mouse (PATTY (5th, 2001)).
