Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Not classified
-
-
- - There are reports of 4 data of LD50 values for rats, 700 mg/kg (JECFA FAS 46 (addendum) (2001), NTP TR231 (1982)), > 1.5 g/kg (CICAD 65 (2005)), 2,275 mg/kg (fasted) and 3,200 mg/kg (feeding) (JECFA FAS 46 (addendum) (2001)), and 1 data of an LD50 value of the dihydrate for rats, 3,190 mg/kg (converted value as the anhydrate: 2,681 mg/kg) (DFGOT vol.14 (2000)). It was classified as "Not classified" (Category 5 in UN GHS classification) to which largest number (3 cases) of data corresponds.
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible
-
-
- - Classification not possible due to lack of data.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable
-
-
- - Solid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Not applicable
-
-
- - Solid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible
-
-
- - Classification not possible due to lack of data.
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Classification not possible
-
-
- - Classification not possible due to lack of data. Besides, there are reports that in a skin irritation test with rabbits, no skin irritation occurred when a 5% aqueous solution of this substance was applied for 18 hours, but that in a human patch test, 5% and 10% solutions showed skin irritation (DFGOT vol.14 (2000)).
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible
-
-
- - Classification not possible due to lack of data. Besides, there is a description that inorganic tin compounds may be irritating to the eyes (ATSDR (2005)). Because the description from ACGIH-TLV in the previous classification was information on organic tin compounds, it was deleted, and the category was changed.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible
-
-
- - Classification not possible due to lack of data.
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible
-
-
- - Classification not possible due to lack of data. Besides, there are reports that this substance showed no sensitization to rats (DFGOT vol.14 (2000)), and that it was positive in human patch tests (DFGOT vol.14 (2000)). However, these data were judged insufficient for use in the classification since the details are unknown.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible
-
-
- - The substance was classified as "Classification not possible" because it was not possible to classify a substance as "Not classified" according to the revised GHS classification guidance for the Japanese government. As for in vivo, although it was negative in a mouse bone marrow micronucleus test and weakly positive in a sister chromatid exchange test, clear dose-dependency was not confirmed (CICAD 65 (2005), NTP DB (Access on September 2014)). As for in vitro, it was positive in a chromosomal aberration test and a sister chromatid exchange test with cultured mammalian cells, and negative in a bacterial reverse mutation test and a mammalian cell gene mutation test (ATSDR (2005), CICAD 65 (2005), NTP DB (Access on September 2014)).
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible
-
-
- - There is no classification of carcinogenicity for this substance by international evaluation organizations. As the result of carcinogenicity tests with rats and mice by NTP, an increased incidence of C-cell adenoma in the thyroid was observed in male rats, being considered to be equivocal, however, NTP concluded that it is not carcinogenic (NTP TR231 (1982), CICAD 65 (2005)). There are no other carcinogenicity test data. From the above, it was classified as "Classification not possible."
7 Reproductive toxicity Not classified
-
-
- - In a three-generation reproductive toxicity test with rats dosed by the oral route (feeding), even at the highest dose (800 mg/kg/day), no effects were observed in the growth and fertility of parental animals and in the development of offspring, and no malformation was observed either. In addition, in teratogenicity tests with mice, rats and hamsters dosed by the oral route (gavage), although no parental animal toxicities were described, there is a report that no effects on implantations, fetal survival and the incidence of fetal malformations (skeletal and soft tissue) were observed (CICAD 65 (2005), ATSDR (2005)).
From the above, it was classified as "Not classified."
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 3 (Respiratory tract irritation)

Because it is described that inorganic tin compounds are irritating to the mucous membranes (ATSDR (2005)), it was classified in Category 3 (respiratory tract irritation). Besides, it is reported that short-term oral administration of this substance to rats and mice induced effects on the central nervous system such as ataxia, general depression, limb weakness and flaccid paralysis, and renal lesions characterized by swelling and discoloration of the kidney, and tubular necrosis with subsequent regeneration (CICAD 65 (2005)). Moreover, although there is a report that necrosis was observed in the liver and the spleen by a single oral administration to mice (CICAD 65 (2005)), there is no description on the doses at which these findings were observed, and on the details as to whether the findings were for dead or surviving animals, therefore, it was impossible to adopt the above as indicators for the category.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (liver, kidney), Category 2 (haemal system)

There are no findings of hazard by repeated exposure to this substance in humans. Besides, there is a description in ACGIH (7th, 2001) that exposure to inorganic tin compounds is known to cause stannosis (mild pneumoconiosis) from inhalation exposure to the dust or fume of tin oxide, and TLV Recommendation is set up to general inorganic tin compounds except tin hydride (SnH4) based on the effects on the respiratory organs (ACGIH (7th, 2001)). However, because this substance is a water-soluble compound, being unlikely to be inhaled in the form of dust or fume like insoluble tin oxide, it was considered inappropriate to assign "respiratory organs" as a target organ. Therefore, it is impossible to identify the target organs based on human data.
On the other hand, in experimental animals, numerous tests with rats, mice, or rabbits dosed by the oral route (mainly feeding) were conducted. There are also numerous tests in which no toxicological findings were observed at doses within or lower than the dose range of Category 2. Especially, in NTP studies where rats and mice were fed for 2 weeks, 13 weeks, and 2 years, only a mild effect on the gastrointestinal tract was observed at the higher dose of "Not classified" (CICAD 65 (2005), ATSDR (2005)). On another front, since the following tests results are findings indicating the target organ of this substance within or lower than the dose range of Category 2 and are listed as findings to set target organs in the evaluations by both CICAD and ATSDR, they are toxicity information available for classification. In a test in which rats were dosed by drinking water throughout their life from weaning until natural death, fatty degeneration of the liver and renal tubular vacuolization were observed within the dose range of Category 1 (equivalent to 8 mg/L: 0.7 mg/kg/day), and in a test in which rabbits were dosed by gavage for 4 months, transient anemia was observed at a ceiling dose of Category 1 (10 mg/kg/day) (CICAD 65 (2005), ATSDR (2005)). In addition, in a 13-week feeding administration test with rats, anemia (decreased hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit value) and changes in the liver tissue (proliferation in the bile duct epithelium) were observed at a ceiling dose of Category 2 (3,000 ppm (equivalent to 95 mg/kg/day)) (CICAD 65 (2005), ATSDR (2005)). Toxicity information on the experimental animals by the inhalation route was not obtained.
From the above, based on findings in experimental animals, it was classified in Category 1 (liver, kidney), Category 2 (hemal system) for this hazard class. Besides, also refer to the classification results for the related substance, stannic chloride (ID: 55; CAS RN: 7646-78-8).
