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.
The substance is reported to be a moderate eye irritant to humans in a test in which the application period is not provided (NTP TR 115, 1978). Based on this report, the substance was classified into Category 2A.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - There are both positive and negative test results obtained in in vitro reverse mutation tests using bacteria (HSDB, 2003; IARC 30, 1983), but there are no in vivo test results. Thus, the substance was classified into the "Classification not possible" category.
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.
