1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Category 4 Warning H302: Harmful if swallowed P301+P312: IF SWALLOWED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.

It was set as Category 4 from the two descriptions. One is that 100% fatal dose by the single oral administration in the guinea pig of HSDB (2005) was 1800mg/kg, and the other is the dose of 100% survival was 400mg/kg.
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. From description that the skin was stimulated slightly (ICSC (J) (2001)), and description that the skin might be stimulated (HSFS (2001)), it was judged that skin irritation was slight and was set as Category 3.
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.
There is the description that that the eyes are stimulated slightly (ICSC (J)(2001)), and the description that the eyes may be stimulated (HSFS (2001)). As judging that eye irritations were slight and 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 - - - - No data available
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data available.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (liver) Danger H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (liver) 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.
P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Based on the description that in humans evidence of exposure, hepatotoxicity was observed (CICAD 34 (2001), ACGIH (7th, 2001), DFGOT (vol.3, 1999) and PATTY (4th, 1994)), and the description that in the inhalation exposure test using the rat, the effects on the liver were observed with the dosage in the Category 1 guidance value range (ACGIH (7th, 2001) and DFGOT (vol.3, 1999)), it was classified into Category 1 (liver).
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available
