Rat LD50 values = 446mg/kg , and rabbit LD50 value = 2422mg/kg (RTECS2005 and HSDB2005). Based on the lower rat LD50 value, it was set as Category 2.
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 - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Category 2 Warning H315: Causes skin irritation P302+P352: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water.
P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P321: Specific treatment (see ... on this label).
P362: Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.
There is description that the skin was not stimulated by 0.01mg/kg exposure to humans (EHC 15 (1980)). But from description that the skin irritation responses were acknowledged by single sprays to the sheep (ACGIH (7th, 2001)), and description that the skin reactions were acknowledged by repeated skin exposure to the rabbit (EHC 15 (1980)). So it was judged that there was skin irritation and it was set as Category 2.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 2A-2B Warning H319: Causes serious 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.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
There was no data of the test which applied directly to the eye of the animal. But based on the description that eye irritations were acknowledged by single spray to the goat (ACGIH (7th, 2001), EHC 15 (1980)), it was set as Category 2A-2B.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data
4 Skin sensitization Not classified - - - - We classified it as Out Of Category based on the description that no reaction was acknowledged in the skin sensitivity test for the human in EHC 15 (1980).
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
6 Carcinogenicity Not classified - - - - Not classified because of "A4" (ACGIH, 7th, 2001)
7 Reproductive toxicity Not classified - - - - It was considered as out of Category based on the description that effect was not observed in the reproductive function, fertility or development of children in the rat three-generation reproductive test, and in the 8-16 days pregnant rabbit administration test (ACGIH (7th, 2001) and EHC 15 (1980)) .

From description in EHC 15 (1980) and ACGIH (7th, 2001) that central nervous systems depressions and watery diarrheas were seen with the given dose of the guidance value range of Category 1 in the infusion test into the sheep rumen, it was set as Category 1 (a central nervous systems, a gastrointestinal). Moreover, it was set as Category 3 (respiratory irritant) from description in HSFS (2002) and SITTIG (4th, 2002) that the nose and throat are stimulated.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (gastrointestinal tract, kidney, liver) Danger H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (gastrointestinal tract, kidney, 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 the inflammation of digestive tracts, nephropathy and liver cholangitis in the 19-days oral study using the rat, and nephropathy and cholangitis in the 90-days feeding oral administration tests using a rat were observed with the dosage in the Category 1 guidance value range respectively (EHC 15 (1980)), it was classified into Category 1 all, since digestive tracts, kidney and liver are considered as the target organs.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available
