Since cobalt and cobalt compounds are classified as Group 1 of airway sensitizer in Recommendation of Occupational Exposure Limits (Japan Society For Occupational Health, 2016), the substance was classified in Category 1. |
4 | Skin sensitization | Category 1A |
Warning |

P302+P352
P333+P313 P362+P364 P261 P272 P280 P321 P501 |
Since cobalt and cobalt compounds are classified as Group 1 of skin sensitizer in Recommendation of Occupational Exposure Limits (Japan Society For Occupational Health, 2016), the substance was classified in Category 1A. |
5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data. |

There is no test data on this substance itself, however, cobalt and cobalt compounds were classified as Group 2B by IARC (IARC Vol.52 (1991)), A3 by ACGIH (ACGIH (7th, 2001)), R by NTP (NTP RoC (14th, 2016)) and Group 2B by the Japan Society For Occupational Health (Recommendation of Occupational Exposure Limits (2016)). Therefore, it was classified in Category 2 for this hazard class. |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - |
Classification not possible due to lack of data. As relevant information, both water-soluble cobalt compounds and inorganic cobalt compounds are classified in Category 1B, based on the experimental animal data (e.g. Cobalt carbonate CAS RN 513-79-1, Cobalt diacetate CAS RN 71-48-7, etc.). However, this substance does not correspond to either water-soluble or inorganic cobalt compounds because it is an insoluble organic cobalt compound. |
8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible |
