"Solids" according to GHS definition. |
| 7 | Flammable solids | Not classified | - | - | - |
It was classified as "Not classified" from the information that it is a non-combustible solid (GESTIS (Access on June. 2011)). |
| 8 | Self-reactive substances and mixtures | Not applicable | - | - | - |
There are no chemical groups present in the molecule associated with explosive or self-reactive properties. |

| 10 | Pyrophoric solids | Not classified | - | - | - |
It was classified as "Not classified" from the information that it is a non-combustible solid (GESTIS (Access on June. 2011)). |
| 11 | Self-heating substances and mixtures | Not classified | - | - | - |
It was classified as "Not classified" from the information that it is a non-combustible solid (GESTIS (Access on June. 2011)). |
| 12 | Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases | Not classified | - | - | - |
It contains a metal (Pt), but it is conceivable that it is stable as an aqueous solution from water solubility data (53 g/100 g (16 degrees C) (CRC (91st, 2010)). Therefore, it was classified as "Not classified." |

| 14 | Oxidizing solids | Classification not possible | - | - | - |
An inorganic compound that contains chlorine has no data. |

Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Oral） | Category 2 |
 |
H300 |
P301+P310 P264 P270 P321 P330 P405 P501 |
It was classified in Category 2 from a reported LD50 value of 20 to 50 mg/kg for rats (EHC 125 (1991)). Besides, it is classified in T; R25 in EU classification (EC-JRC (ESIS) (Access on July. 2011)). |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Dermal） | Classification not possible | - | - | - |
No data. |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） | Not applicable | - | - | - |
It is a solid at normal temperatures. (Merck (14th, 2006)) |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours） | Classification not possible | - | - | - |
No data. |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists） | Classification not possible | - | - | - |
No data. |
| 2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Not classified | - | - | - |
Because a skin irritation test using rabbits (US Federal Register 1973 Skin Test) reported it is "mild irritant" from a primary irritation index of 0.5 (EHC 125 (1991)), it was classified as "Not classified" in JIS classification (Category 3 in UN GHS classification). |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 2 |
 |
H319 |
P305+P351+P338 P337+P313 P264 P280 |
From an "irritant" result in an eye irritation test using rabbits (US Federal Register 1973 Eye Test) (EHC 125 (1991)), it was classified in Category 2. It is classified in Xi; R41 in EU classification (EC-JRC (ESIS) (Access on July 2011)). Besides, there is the information that a soluble platinum compound is corrosive to eyes (Netherlands evaluation document (2008), corresponding to List 2). |
| 4 | Respiratory sensitization | Category 1A |
 |
H334 |
P304+P341 P342+P311 P261 P285 P501 |
Platinum itself or its compound is designated as a sensitizing substance (respiratory tract; Group 1) in Japan Society for Occupational Health (Journal of Occupational Health, Vol.52 (2010)). In addition, it was reported that severe deficits in pulmonary function in comparison with a control group were observed at a concentration of 200 micro g/m3 by a provocation treatment 2 weeks after biweekly inhalation exposure (an induction period) to monkeys for 12 weeks (EHC 125 (1991)), furthermore, an acute asthmatic seizure occurred in guinea pigs by an inhalation exposure to this substance (PATTY (5th, 2001)). From the above, it was classified in Category 1A. Besides, this substance is classified in R42/43 in EU classification (EC-JRC (ESIS) (Access on July 2011)). |
| 4 | Skin sensitization | Category 1A |
|
H317 |
P302+P352 P333+P313 P261 P272 P280 P321 P363 P501 |
In auricular lymph node test in mice (ANA method), numbers of auricular lymph node cells increased four times, and proliferating cell ratio in auricular lymph node cells in dosed groups increased more than 20 times. (Netherlands evaluation document (2008)) In a local lymph node test in mice (LLNA method), a total number of lymph node cells in a high concentration group (2.5%) increased about three times, and an average SI value was 2.6 +/- 1.0. (Netherlands evaluation document (2008)) It was classified in Category 1A because platinum itself or its compound is designated as a sensitizing substance (skin; Group 1) in Japan Society for Occupational Health (Journal of Occupational Health, Vol.52 (2010)) despite the SI value of less than 3 in the LLNA method. Besides, it is classified in R42/43 in EU classification (EC-JRC (ESIS) (Access on July 2011)). |
| 5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - |
No data. |
| 6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - |
No data. |
| 7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - |
No data. |
| 8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 3 （Respiratory tract irritation） |
|
H335 |
P304+P340 P403+P233 P261 P271 P312 P405 P501 |
It was classified in Category 3 (respiratory tract irritation) because it was reported that a result of an inhalation test to dust of this substance in a cynomolgus monkey showed that this substance is a primary irritant to respiratory tract causing bronchoconstriction (Netherlands evaluation document (2008)). |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - |
No data. |
| 10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - |
No data. |
