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 LD50 values of 735 mg/kg, 1823 mg/kg (IUCLID (2000)) and 1670 mg/kg (HSDB (2003)) for rats, the substance was classified into Category 4.
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Not classified - - - - Based on LD50 values of >5000 mg/kg bw for rats (IUCLID (2000)) and >2000 mg/kg bw for rabbits (IUCLID (2000)), the substance was classified as "Not classified".
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) Not classified - - - - Based on a LC50 value of >50 mg/L/1h (12.5 mg/L/4h) for rats (IUCLID (2000)), the substance was classified as "Not classified" in JIS Classification (correspond to Category 5 or "Not classified" in GHS classification). Since the LC50 value (50 mg/L) was higher than saturated vapour pressure concentration (1.7E-13 mg/L), the test was considered to be conducted for dusts.
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.
In a rabbit test by application to the skin for 24-hour, the test substance was determined to be a non-irritant to intact skin and a moderate to moderately severe irritant to abraded skin (HSDB (2003)). Additionally, it was reported that the substance was "moderate irritating" in another rabbit test (Draize test) (IUCLID (2000)). Based on these results and a report that application to wet skin or application of the solution can cause "severe irritation" (SITTIG (5th, 2008)), the substance was classified into Category 2.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 2A Warning H319: Causes serious 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.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
Application into the conjunctival sac of rabbits at a dose level of 10 mg showed dull irises and corneas, and erythema sufficient to make individual blood vessels not easily discernible within 1-hour. Iris congestion remained until the 7th day. The test substance was determined to be a moderately severe irritant. Additionally, the substance is classified into Xi; R36/37 in EU classification (EU-Annex I (access on Sep. 2009)). Based on these information, 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 - - - - A negative result is reported in a bone marrow chromosomal aberration test (in vivo somatic cell mutagenicity test) where rats were orally administered a related substance, monosodium cyanurate (IUCLID (2000)). However in vivo data for this substance is absent. Therefore, classification was not possible. As relevant information, from in vitro mutagenicity tests, there is a report of a negative Ames test (NTP DB (access on Sep. 2009)).
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - Although there is a report that no fetal toxicity was observed when mice were administered orally during organogenesis period (teratogenic (12th, 2007)), classification was not possible due to lack of data for effects on sexual function and fertility of parental animals.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 2 (systemic toxicity), Category 3 (respiratory tract irritation) Warning H371: May cause damage to organs (systemic toxicity)
H335: May cause respiratory irritation (respiratory tract irritation)
P309+P311: IF exposed or if you feel unwell: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
P304+P340: IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
P403+P233: Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed.
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.
In a rat acute oral toxicity test (dosage 1450 - 1925 mg/kg, LD50 = 1670 mg/kg), clinical signs including emaciation, weakness, lethargy, diarrhea and necropsy findings such as irritation of the gastrointestinal tract, tissue edema, and liver and kidney congestion were observed (HSDB (2003)). In a rabbit acute oral toxicity test (dosage: 1000 - 3000 mg/kg, minimal lethal dose: 2500 mg/kg), clinical signs including prostration, coma, salivation, lacrimation, labored breathing. Necropsy findings such as liver dysfunction, irritation of the digestive tract, and lung congestion were noted (HSDB (2003)). Based on a report that the oral toxicity is apparently due to corrosive action on the stomach (HSDB (2003)), these findings are considered to be systemic toxicity caused by the strong irritation to the digestive tract. Since death occurred at dose levels within the guidance value range for Category 2 and the affected organ cannot be identified, the substance was classified into Category 2 (systemic toxicity). In addition, based on reports of irritating to the upper respiratory tract, irritating to respiratory system or some bronchospasm as signs in human exposure (HSDB (2003)), the substance was classified into Category 3 (respiratory tract irritation).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
