HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity （Oral） Category 4 Warning H302: Harmful if swallowed P301+P312: IF SWALLOWED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
P330: Rinse mouth.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		Based on the rat LD50 (oral route) value of 2,000mg/kg (EHC 152 (1994)).
1 Acute toxicity （Dermal） Not classified - - - - Based on the rabbit LD50 (dermal route) value of >10,000mg/kg (EHC 152 (1994)).
1 Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） Not applicable - - - - Due to the fact that the substance is a solid according to the GHS definition and inhalation of its gas is not expected.
1 Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours） Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists） Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible because the available rat LC50 (inhalation of dust) value of >0.96mg/L (IARC 41 (1987)) is that of the technical mixture and not a fixed value.
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. 		Based on the description in the report on dermal studies in rabbits (EHC 152 (1994)): The technical mixtures tested "induced moderate erythematous and slight edematous response."
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 2B - Warning H320: Causes 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. 		Based on the description in the report on rabbit eye irritation tests (EHC 152 (1994)): The technical mixtures tested "produced corneal effects, conjunctival redness and swelling, and a copious discharge. The reactions disappeared within 4 hours."
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
4 Skin sensitization Not classified - - - - Based on two sets of data from guinea pig skin sensitization studies showing no sensitization potential (EHC 152 (1994)). The technical mixtures are thus unlikely to produce weaker responses.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
6 Carcinogenicity Category 2 Warning H351: Suspected of causing cancer 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 ... 		Due to the fact that the substance is classified as Category R (Polybrominated Biphenyls) by NTP (2005), Category 2B (Polybrominated biphenyls) by IARC (1987) and Category 2B (Polybrominated Biphenyls) by the Japan Society for Occupational Health (2005).
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 ... 		Based on the evidence of abdominal wall dehiscences and skeletal anomalies in the offspring observed in rat teratogenicity studies, described in PATTY (4th, 2000) and EHC 152 (1994) (though no data are available regarding parental toxicity).
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data available
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data available
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available
