Precautionary statement
(code)
Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Classification not possible
-
-
- -  Classification not possible due to lack of data.
 Besides, for the following health hazard classes, please also refer to 2,3-dichlorotoluene (CAS RN: 32768-54-0) and 2,4-dichlorotoluene (CAS RN: 95-73-8), which are structural isomers.
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible
-
-
- -  Classification not possible due to lack of data.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable
-
-
- -  Liquid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Classification not possible
-
-
- -  Classification not possible due to lack of data.
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.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible
-
-
- -  Classification not possible due to lack of data.
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.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible
-
-
- -  Classification not possible due to lack of data.
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible
-
-
- -  Classification not possible due to lack of data.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible
-
-
- -  In a combined repeated dose toxicity study with the reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test using rats dosed by oral route (gavage) (OECD TG 422), effects on fertility of parental animals and effects on pups were not observed at up to 300 mg/kg/day where reduced body weight gain and increased kidney weights were observed in parental animals (Safety Test (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), 2007)).
 However, classification cannot be determined only by this result because this test is a screening test. There is no other data available for the classification.
 Therefore, classification is not possible.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible
-
-
- -  Classification not possible due to lack of data.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible
-
-
- -  There is no data on humans.
 As for experimental animals, in a combined repeated dose toxicity study with the reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test using rats given by gavage (OECD TG 422), an increase in kidney weights and enlargement of the kidney were observed. This result is out of range of Category 2 (Safety Test (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), 2007)). No other data available for classification could be obtained.
 Therefore, the substance was classified as "Classification not possible" due to lack of data.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible
-
-
- -  Classification not possible due to lack of data.

11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) Category 2

H401 P273
P501
 From 48-hour EC50 = 1.1 mg/L for crustacea (Daphnia magna) (Results of Aquatic Toxicity Tests of Chemicals conducted by Ministry of the Environment in Japan (Ministry of the Environment, 2009)), it was classified in Category 2.
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) Category 2


-
H411 P273
P391
P501
 If chronic toxicity data are used, then it is classified in Category 2 due to being not rapidly degradable (Non-biodegradable, a degradation rate by BOD: 0 % (Biodegradation and Bioconcentration Results of Existing Chemical Substances under the Chemical Substances Control Law, 2008)), and 48-hour NOEC = 0.43 mg/L for algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) (Results of Aquatic Toxicity Tests of Chemicals conducted by Ministry of the Environment in Japan (Ministry of the Environment, 2009)). Besides, as for the test on algae, the 48-hour toxicity value conducted taking account of closed system test was used.
 If acute toxicity data are used for a trophic level for which chronic toxicity data are not obtained, then it is classified in Category 2 due to being not rapidly degradable (Non-biodegradable, a degradation rate by BOD: 0 % (Biodegradation and Bioconcentration Results of Existing Chemical Substances under the Chemical Substances Control Law, 2008)), and 48-hour EC50 = 1.1 mg/L for crustacea (Daphnia magna) (Results of Aquatic Toxicity Tests of Chemicals conducted by Ministry of the Environment in Japan (Ministry of the Environment, 2009)).
 It was classified in Category 2 from the above results.
12 Hazardous to the ozone layer Classification not possible
-
-
- -  No data available.
