HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Category 2 Danger H300: Fatal if swallowed P301+P310: IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
P321: Specific treatment (see ... on this label).
P330: Rinse mouth.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Based on the rat LD50 value of 26.5 mg/kg bw (US EPA/HPV Challenge program (2003)), the substance was classified into Category 2.
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - The rat LD50 value of > 500 mg/kg bw (US EPA/HPV Challenge program (2003)) was reported. Since the value did not provide the basis for classification, the substance was classified as "Classification not possible".
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) Category 1 Danger H330: Fatal if inhaled 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.
P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P271: Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
P284: Wear respiratory protection.
P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
P320: Specific treatment is urgent (see ... on this label).
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Based on the rat LC50 value of 0.05 mg/L/4hrs (US EPA/HPV Challenge program (2003)), the substance was classified as Category 1. According to the description of using dust generator for exposure, the criterion values for dust/mist were adopted.
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Classification not possible - - - - In the rabbit test, 24-hour occlusive application of 500 mg of the substance to the skin caused non irritating (US EPA/HPV Challenge program (2003)). However, since the data were obtained from only one test animal, the substance was classified as "Classification not possible".
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - In the rabbit test, instillation of 50 mg of the substance to the eye caused no irritating (US EPA/HPV Challenge program (2003)). However, since the data were obtained from only one test animal, the substance was classified as "Classification not possible".
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 - - - - The classification was not possible due to lack of in vivo test data. As relevant information, as for in vitro study, positive results in the Ames test were reported (US EPA/HPV Challenge program (2003)).
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
