HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity （Oral） Category 3 Danger H301: Toxic if swallowed P301+P310: IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）.
P330: Rinse mouth.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		Rat LD50 value=208mg/kg (RTECS (Access on Aug 2005), IUCLID(2000), HSDB (Access on Jun 2005)) and 254mg/kg (IUCLID(2000)). Based on the data above, the lowest value was adopted for category
1 Acute toxicity （Dermal） Classification not possible - - - - Since there are only data of rabbit dermal LD50 <340mg/kg (IUCLID (2000)) and data is insufficient, it cannot be classified.
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 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.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）.
P363: Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		It was set as Category 1A-1C from description that caustic is indicated to the skin of the humans (ICSC (J) (2002) and IUCLID (2000)), that it is a caustic substances (HSFS (1999)), and that skin caustic is admitted by the test using the rabbit (IUCLID (2000), HSDB (Access on Jun 2005)).
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 1 Danger H318: Causes serious eye damage P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. 		There is the description that causticity was indicated to the eye (ICSC (J) (2002)), on the description that it was a caustic substance (HSFS (1999)), and on the descriptions that the burn injury was caused by eye contact in occupational exposure examples( IUCLID (2000) and HSDB (Access on Jun 2005)). So we classified it as Category 1.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Not classified - - - - There is a negative result by the micronucleus test (performing sector is unknown) which used the mouse, which is the in vivo mutagenicity test (IUCLID (2000)). So it carried out the outside of Category.
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - Since it is not evaluated in the institution indicated in the technical indicator, it cannot be classified.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 2 (respiratory system) Warning H371: May cause damage to organs (respiratory system) P309+P311: IF exposed or if you feel unwell: 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.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		There is a report of the substance showing corrosive properties to airways in ICSC (J) (2002). It also shows corrosive properties to skin and eyes, so it was judged that the target organ was respiratory organs to classify the substance as Category 2.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

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 48-hour LC50=550microg/L of Crustacea (Water flea) (AQUIRE, 2003).
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term） Not classified - - - - Toxicity factor is considered to be strong base as aqueous solution, but toxic effect is eased by the buffer action in the environmental water.
