Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Based on a LD50 value of 3.2 - 6.4 g/kg for rats (PATTY (5th, 2001)), the substance was classified into "Not classified" in JIS Classification (correspond to Category 5 or "Not classified" in GHS classification). |
1 | Acute toxicity (Dermal) | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Based on a LD50 value of 18000 mg/kg for rabbits (IUCLID (2000)), the substance was classified as "Not classified". |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Liquid (GHS definition) |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) | Category 4 | Warning | H332: Harmful if inhaled |
P304+P340: IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P271: Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. P312: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. |
Based on a LC50 value of 4000 ppm/8h (5656 ppm/4h) for rats (IUCLID (2000)), the substance was classified into Category 4. Since the LC50 value (4000 ppm/8h) was lower than 90% of saturated vapour pressure concentration (5078 ppm), the classification criteria for gas was adopted. | |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Based on a result of "not irritating" in a rabbit test (OECD TG404 (GLP)) (IUCLID (2000)), the substance was classified as "Not classified". |
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Based on a result of "not irritating" in a rabbit test (OECD TG405) where corneal opacity, iritis, conjunctivae redness and chemosis scores were 0, 0, 1.44 and 1.00, respectively, (IUCLID (2000)), the substance was classified as "Not classified". |
4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
4 | Skin sensitization | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Based on a result of not sensitizing (positive ratio: 0%, 0/20 animals) in a guinea pig maximization test (OECD TG406 (GLP)) (IUCLID (2000)) and information that no skin sensitization was noted in a maximization test on 26 volunteers (IUCLID (2000)), the substance was classified as "Not classified". |
5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data from in vivo mutagenicity tests. From in vitro mutagenicity tests, there is a report of a negative Ames test (IUCLID (2000)). |
