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 ... |
Four rat LD50 values of 1916 - 2455, 1378 - 1968, 2400 - 2600 and 1000 - 1340 mg/kg bw were reported (all compliant to OECD TG 401) (IUCLID (2000)). Two of them correspond to Category 4, one corresponds to "Not classified" in the JIS classification, and the other one corresponds to Category 4 or "Not classified" in the JIS classification. The substance was classified as Category 4, selecting the category to which the greater part of them were equivalent. | |
1 | Acute toxicity (Dermal) | Category 4 | Warning | H312: Harmful in contact with skin |
P302+P352: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P312: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. P322: Specific treatment (see ... on this label). P363: Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.

Based on the rat LD50 value of approximately 1280 mg/kg bw (OECD TG 402) (IUCLID (2000)), the substance was classified into Category 4. | |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Liquid (GHS definition) |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Category 1 | Danger | H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage |
P301+P330+P331: IF SWALLOWED: Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. P303+P361+P353: IF ON SKIN (or hair): Remove/Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower. P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. P304+P340: IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.

The substance was classified as Category 1 based on the documented case of "corrosive" resulted from the rabbit test (OECD TG 404, GLP-compliant) (IUCLID (2000)). As relevant notes, in other rabbit test, corrosive effects were also reported (IUCLID (2000)). | |
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 1 | Danger | H318: Causes serious eye damage |
P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. |
The substance was classified as Category 1 as a skin corrosive substance in the classification for skin irritation. And it was also classified as "H319 (serious eye irritation)" in CLP/GHS (EC-JRC (ESIS) (Access on Sep. 2010)). And in the datum from the "List 3" information source designated in the GHS classification guidance for the Japanese government, severe irritation was reported in the Draize test using rabbits (RTECS (2009)). Based on the information mentioned above, the substance was classified as Category 1. As relevant notes, in the rabbit test, slight irritation was reported, but no details were provided (IUCLID (2000)). | |
4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | In the skin sensitization test (Buehler test, OECD TG 406) using guinea pig, no sensitizing results were reported (IUCLID (2000)). However, since it was the datum from the "List 2" information source designated in the GHS classification guidance for the Japanese government and there was no information about ratios of sensitized animals, the substance was classified as "Classification not possible". |
5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
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 | - | - | - | - | In the 14-day dermal toxicity study in rats, the treatment was discontinued after 4 days at the high dose of 1.0 mL/kg/day due to very severe skin response consisting of extensive eschar formation and ulceration. Treatment with the substance at the low dose of 0.1 mL/kg/day (converted dose level as that of 90-day study: approx. 15 mg/kg/day) produced mild skin irritating response and decreased body weights, but no clinical effects were observed. At necropsy, no difference was seen between treatment and control animals in any of the tissues apart from the treated areas of skin (IUCLID (2000)). However, since the dose tested was within the range of the guidance values and no data were available for the other routes, the substance was classified as "Classification not possible". |
10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
