HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Not classified - - - - SPECIES: Rat ENDPOINT: LD50 VALUE: > 15000 mg/kg REFERENCE SOURCE: IUCLID (2000)
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
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 Classification not possible - - - - There was description that it was non-irritant for 24-hour apply in Patch-test using the rabbit (IUCLID (2000)). But it cannot be classified since there is no information which clearly negates hazardousness in the source of Priority 1.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - Although there is description that there is no stimulativeness in the eye irritation tests of the rabbit in IUCLID (2000), there is description that an eye is stimulated as affect of the humans in HSDB (2005). And it cannot classify since data is insufficient.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - Although there was description that skin sensitization was not acknowledged with the guinea pigs of IUCLID (2000), it presupposed that it cannot classify from there being no information which negates hazard clearly in the source of Priority1.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data available
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
