Among the values of an rat inhalation administration test which are >0.75mg/L/4H ( >3mg/L/1H) (HSDB, 2003; RTECS, 1997) and 0.007mg/L/4H (7.0microg/L/4H) (HSDB, 2003), the lower value of 0.007mg/L/4H were adopted. And it was set as Category 1.

3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - No data available
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Not classified - - - - Since it was negative in the chromosome aberration test in the bone marrow and spermatocyte using mice and rabbits (HSDB, 2003), it is classified as the out of the Category. In addition, also in the in vitro mutagenicity test (a cell tests for gene mutation, an Ames test), it is considered as negative (HSDB, 2003).

Since malformation and variation of the ureter were seen at the dose which maternal toxicity not occur in rat teratogenicity studies (HSDB, 2003), it was set as Category 1B. In addition, adequate assessment was impossible because of the toxicity in rabbit teratogenicity studies (HSDB, 2003).
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 1 (blood system), Category 2 (gastrointestinal tract) Danger
Warning
H370: Causes damage to organs (blood system)
H371: May cause damage to organs (gastrointestinal tract)
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.

P309+P311: IF exposed or if you feel unwell: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
It was considered as Category 1 (blood systems) and Category 2 (gastrointestinal) based on the description of the significant fall of blood coagulationby on 20mg of oral administration to humans (EHC 175, 1995) and the product is anticoagulant (PDS 62, 1985), the factor in the death in humans was bleeding of the gastrointestinal tract (HSDB, 2003).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (blood system) Danger H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (blood 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 significant increase in blood coagulation time was observed in the range of guidance value of Category 1, and the death by anticoagulation was observed with higher dose in a rat repeated oral administration test (HSDB, 2003), it was classified into Category 1 (blood systems).
