Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Oral） | Category 4 |  |
H302 |
P301+P312 P264 P270 P330 P501 |
On the basis of an LD50 value of ca. 2000 mg/kg for rats (OECD TG 401) (IUCLID (2000)), it was classified in Category 4. |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Dermal） | Not classified | - | - | - | On the basis of an LD50 value of > 4640 mg/kg for rabbits (RTECS (2006), the original literature: National Technical Information Service. OTS0571153), it was classified as "Not classified" in JIS classification (corresponding to Category 5 or "Not classified" in UN GHS classification). |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） | Not applicable | - | - | - | "Solids" according to GHS definition. |
| 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 | Category 1 |  |
H314 |
P301+P330+P331 P303+P361+P353 P305+P351+P338 P304+P340 P260 P264 P280 P310 P321 P363 P405 P501 |
On the basis of an aqueous solution of this substance with a pH of 12 (10 g/L (20 degrees C)), it was classified in Category 1. |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 1 | |
H318 |
P305+P351+P338 P280 P310 |
On the basis of an aqueous solution of this substance with a pH of 12 (10 g/L (20 degrees C)), it was classified in Category 1. Besides, "Moderate" irritation, which is reported in a Draize test using rabbits (RTECS (2006)), is from List 3 information and unknown details. |

Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Acute） | Not classified | - | - | - | From 96-hour LC50 = 750 mg/L (AQUIRE, 2012) for fish (Gambusia affinis), it was classified as "Not classified." |
