9 Pyrophoric liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid
10 Pyrophoric solids Not classified - - - - Even if it contacts the normal temperature air, it does not ignite spontaneously (ignition temperature >650degC (IUCLID,2000)).
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data
12 Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases Not applicable - - - - Metals or metalloids (B, Si, P, Ge, As, Se, Sn, Sb, Te, Bi, Po, At) are not included.
13 Oxidizing liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid

16 Corrosive to metals Classification not possible - - - - Test methods applicable to solid substances are not available.

HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Not classified - - - - From LD50 value >5,000 mg/kg (OECD TG 401), and >1,600 mg/kg (SIDS (1996)) of the acute oral toxicity test (OECD TG 401, GLP) employing a rat, it was classified into "Not classified".
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Not classified - - - - Based on description with LD50 value >2,000 mg/kg (SIDS (1996)) of the dermal administration test of mice, it was classified into "Not classified".
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Since it was a solid by the definition of GHS and inhalation in gas was not assumed, it was classified into "Not applicable".
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Classification not possible - - - - Since there is a description, "There was no skin irritation in the 24-hour administration study using rabbits, "IUCLID (2000) and negative results have been obtained under stricter conditions than 4 hours, it was considered as "Not classified", but classification is not possible due to insufficiency of data, because there is no data to clearly deny toxicity in the information source of List 1.
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 result as "mild" eye irritation in the standard Draize test employing rabbits (SIDS (1996)), it was classified into Category 2B.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - Classification is not possible since there is no data.
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - Classification is not possible since there is no data.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Not classified - - - - Based on the result of negative in a body cell in vivo mutagenicity test (mouse micronucleus test) (SIDS (1996)), it was classified into "Not classified".
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - Classification is not possible, because evaluation by major international evaluation institutions has not been performed and appropriate data are not available.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - In a combined repeated oral administration toxicity study and reproductive/developmental toxicity study (OECD TG 422, GLP) it is reported that "no effects on the rates of copulation, implantation, conception, delivery and natality or on the weight of the offspring were observed, and nor was any teratogenic action,"((Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare Report (1994)) but it is also reported that female rats in the administration group "showed deterioration in their systemic symptom after they started rearing and the number of rats which abandoned rearing activities increased. Some reached a moribund state and some died, suggesting a strong causal relationship between commencement of rearing and onset of toxicity." Since this study was a simple test and there is no other data, classification is not possible.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 2 (kidney, spleen, blood system) Warning H373: May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (kidney, spleen, blood system) P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
It is written in the combination test of repeated dose toxicity study and reproduction screening study in rats (OECD TG 422, GLP) that "organic changes of the kidney" by exposure were observed, and "in the lien of administered group, pigmentation, extramedullary hematopoiesis and congestion significantly increased as compared with the control group, in addition, decrease in the number of red blood cells, hemoglobin content, hematocrit, and average red corpuscle hemoglobin concentrationan, and increase in reticulocyte ratio were found, therefore, it is thought that mild hemolytic anemia is caused" (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare reports (1994)). Since these effects were found within the scope of the guidance value of Category 2, it was classified into Category 2 (kidney, lien, and blood system).
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) Category 1 Warning H400: Very toxic to aquatic life P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P391: Collect spillage.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
It was classified into Category 1 from 72 hours EbC50=0.25mg/L of the algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) (SIDS (2005)).
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 ...
Since acute toxicity was Category 1 and there were no rapid degradability (not readily degradable, the decomposition by BOD: 0% (standard test method (4 weeks)) (Existing Chemical Safety Inspections Data (1991))), it was classified into Category 1.
