It was set as Category 2 based on the lower value (127mg/kg)(from rat dermal LD50 = 1600mg/kg and rabbit dermal LD50 = 127mg/kg (JMPR 827, 1991;CICAD 13, 1999)).

It was slight response in tests for rabbit skin irritation (JMPR 827, 1991). But it was set as category 2 since the moderate irritation was indicated in the human epidemiological findings (CICAD 13, 1999).
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.
From the statement that the eye of a rabbit (JMPR 827, 1991) and a guinea pig (RTECS, 2005) is stimulated strongly, and the statement that the human eye is stimulated strongly (ICSC, 2005), it was set as Category 2A-2B. In addition, the detailed categorization is difficult.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
4 Skin sensitization Not classified - - - - Since it was negative (CICAD 13, 1999) in guinea pig skin sensitization test (Buehler method and maximization method), an allergic reaction was not admitted in the human patch test (CICAD 13, 1999), it considered as the outside of Category.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Not classified - - - - There is the negativity in the rat dominant fatality test, a mouse bone marrow small core test, and a Chinese hamster marrow chromosome aberration test (JMPR 827, 1991; CICAD 13, 1999), and there is the conclusion of "Triphenyl tin compound does not indicate genotoxicity" in CICAD 13 (1999) as a result of evaluation of a series of triphenyl tin compound. So it is classified as the out of the Category. In addition, although an Ames test indicates negative, the positivety is also seen in the mouse lymphoma test or the in vitro chromosome aberration test (JMPR 827, 1991). Moreover, although the positivity in an in vivo mouse peripheral blood small core test and an in vitro small core test is reported these days (RTECS, 2004). But all of the grade of the reaction were weak and dose responses was not clear in in vivo, either, the weights of hazards to humans was judged to be a not high.
6 Carcinogenicity Not classified - - - - Some tumor discoveries were acknowledged in the carcinogenic tests using mouse and rats. But the WHO experts group didn't consider them significant into, and concluded that there is no carcinogenic in triphenyl tin (CICAD 13, 1999). Moreover, the organotin compounds was set to A4 (not classified with a the human carcinogen) in ACGIH (ACGIH-TLV, 2005). Therefore, it carried out the outside of category.
7 Reproductive toxicity Category 2 Warning H361: Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child P308+P313: IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention.
P201: Obtain special instructions before use.
P202: Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood.
P281: Use personal protective equipment as required.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Since influences on reproduction or generating (embryo absorption, hydrocephalus, etc.) were seen in rat or the hamster in the dose which indicates maternal toxicity (CICAD 13, 1999), it was set as Category2.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 1 (central nervous system), Category 3 (respiratory tract irritation) Danger
Warning
H370: Causes damage to organs (central nervous system)
H335: May cause respiratory irritation (respiratory tract irritation)
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 ...
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.
Since in single time oral administrations to animals, central nervous systems condition, such as vomiting, a tremor, and a deep sleep, is observed in within the range of guidance value in Category 1 (CICAD 13, 1999), and human central nervous systems may have been affected in ICSC (2005), it was considered as Category 1 (central nervous systems). Moreover, it was considered as Category 3 (respiratory irritant) from description (ICSC, 2005) that a respiratory tracts is stimulated.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (immune system) Danger H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (immune system) 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 ...
Since in a mouse and a rat, decrease of immune cell numbers and decrease in immunoglobulin concentration are observed in the guidance concentration range of Category 1(CICAD 13, 1999) and triphenyl tin compounds may affect an immune system and may impair that function (CICAD 13, 1999), it was classified into Category 1 (immune systems).
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available

It was classified into Category 1 from 96-hour LC50=7.1microg/L (water oxidization triphenyltin concentration equivalent: 7.4microg/L) of fishes (Fathead minnows) (CICAD13, 1999).
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) Category 1 Warning H410: Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P391: Collect spillage.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Classified into Category 1, since acute toxicity is Category 1,not rapidly degrading (BOD: 0% (existing chemical substances safety inspections data)), and bioaccumulative (BCF=7100 (existing chemical substances safety inspections data)).
