Because the oral LD50 values in rats are 127-234mg/kg (CICAD 14, 1999) or 92-194mg/kg (DFGOT 1, 1991), the substance was classified as Category 3.

It was set as Category 3 from rat dermal LD50 = 605mg/kg (ACGIH 7th, 2001;DFGOT 1, 1991).

Based on rat inhalation LC50 value 65mg/m3/4H (= 0.065mg/L/4H) (DFGOT 1 (1991); CICAD 14 (1999); ATSDR (2005)), it was set as Category 2.
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.
Since severe irritation was indicated in the Draize's examination using human and rabbit skin (RTECS, 2004) and it was considered as the powerful skin stimulativeness substance (CICAD 14, 1999), it was set as Category 2.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 2A 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.
Since severe irritation was indicated in the Draize Test using a rabbit eye (RTECS, 2004), and it was considered as the strong eye stimulativeness substance (CICAD 14, 1999; ICSC, 1998), it was set as Category 2A.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - While it was negative (CICAD 14, 1999) in guinea pig skin sensitization test ( Magnussen-Kligman method) and there were findings that allergic was not accepted in humans (ATSDR, 2005), since the contact sensitizing activity was acknowledged in the mouse in recent years, it was presupposed from (ATSDR, 2005; CICAD 14, 1999) that it cannot classify.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Not classified - - - - It carried out the outside of Category. Based on the mouse small core test from the negative (ATSDR, 2005;CICAD 14, 1999) , and negative in the Ames test an in vitro mutagenicity test and the cell gene mutation test. So it is classified as the out of the Category. In addition, it is considered as the positive by levels of cytotoxicity concentration in the in vitro chromosome aberration test (CICAD 14, 1999), and the weak reaction occurs by part of mouse small core test. But it is synthetically estimated as negativity (ATSDR, 2005; CICAD 14, 1999).
6 Carcinogenicity Not classified - - - - The endocrine systems oncogeny was slightly seen in the rat about this product. But it was negative in the mouse (CICAD 14, 1999), and classified into D (it cannot classify into human carcinogenicity) (IRIS, 2002), or I (evidence is inadequate for humans carcinogenicity evaluation) (ATSDR, 2005) according to EPA. Moreover, the organotin compounds was classified into A4 (it cannot classify into a the human carcinogens) in ACGIH. Therefore, it was carried out the outside of category according to the guideline.
7 Reproductive toxicity Not classified - - - - Although the slight influences on reproductive developments, such as an fetus weight fall, ossification variation, and the number fetus of one mother, were admitted. They were dosage which effect on the maternal toxicity and immune system (IRIS, 2002; CICAD 14, 1999). And since the this product was not considered to be a reproductive developmental toxicity substances (CICAD 14, 1999), it was set as the outside of Category.
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 ...
Since there was knowledge which indicates respiratory irritant to humans (CICAD 14, 1999), it was considered as Category 3 (respiratory irritant). In addition, unlike other organotin compounds, about this product, effect is not observed in a nervous systems (CICAD 14, 1999).
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 the key virulence trait of this product is the influence on immune systems based on the knowledge acquired by animal studies(thymus dependence immune dysfunction) (CICAD 14, 1999), and since this knowledge is accepted in the guidance value of Category 1, it was classified into Category 1 (immune system).
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available

It was classified into Category 1 from 96-hour LC50=1.5microg/L of fishes (King salmon) (EHC116, 1990).
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: 2% (existing chemical substances safety inspections data)), and bioaccumulative (BCF=12100 (existing chemical substances safety inspections data)).
