P264 P270 P330 P501 |
Based on a report of an LD50 value of 382 mg/kg (DFGOT Vol. 3 (1992), PATTY (6th, 2012)) for rats, it was classified in Category 4. |

H311 |
P302+P352
P361+P364 P280 P312 P321 P405 P501 |
There are reports of LD50 values for rats of 0.5-1.0 mL/kg (530-1,060 mg/kg) and 1.13-1.43 mL/kg (1,198-1,516 mg/kg) (both in HSDB (Access on June 2017)). One case corresponds to Category 3 or Category 4, and the other case corresponds to Category 4. By adopting the category with higher hazard, it was classified in Category 3. |

P261 P271 P312 |
Based on reports of LC50 values of 200 ppm (1.24 mg/L) (DFGOT Vol. 3 (1992)) and 220 ppm (1.36 mg/L) (PATTY (6th, 2012)) in 4-hour inhalation exposure tests with rats, it was classified in Category 4. Besides, because the LC50 values are higher than the saturated vapor pressure concentration (4.35 ppm), the reference value in the unit of mg/L as mist was applied. |

As for skin sensitization tests with rabbits, there is a report that severe irritation and damages were found (DFGOT Vol. 3 (1992)), and a description that severe irritation or corrosivity were observed (PATTY (6th, 2012)), therefore, it was classified in Category 1. Besides, this substance was classified as "Skin Corr. 1B" in EU CLP classification (ECHA CL Inventory (Access on June 2017)). |
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 1 |
Danger |
H318 |
P305+P351+P338
P280 P310 |
Since this substance was classified in Category 1 for skin corrosivity/irritation, it was classified in Category 1. Besides, as for eye irritation tests with rabbits, there is a report that severe irritation and damage were shown (DFGOT Vol. 3 (1992)), a description that it was irritating to the eyes (PATTY (6th, 2012)), and a report that redness and pains caused by severe deep burns occurred (HSDB (Access on June 2017)). |

- | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data. |
4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data. Besides, although there was a description that this substance was known as a skin sensitizer (HSDB (Access on June 2017)), it was not adopted because the details of the test method and so on were unknown. |
5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | It 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, a dominant lethal test with mice and a micronucleus test with the peripheral blood of mice were negative (NTP DB (Access on July 2017), HSDB (Access on June 2017)). As for in vitro, bacterial reverse mutation tests were positive (SIAP (2008), NTP DB (Access on July 2017), HSDB (Access on June 2017)). |

P308+P311
P260 P264 P270 P405 P501 |
There is no information on single exposure to this substance in humans. As for experimental animals, there is a report that in a 4-hour single inhalation exposure test with rats, at necropsy, severe inflammation of the trachea and lungs was observed (PATTY (6th, 2012)). Although there is no detailed description of the dose, since the LC50 value was reported as 220 ppm (1.36 mg/L) within the guidance value range of the mist for Category 2, it is thought that the effect was observed at the dose in the range for Category 2. Therefore, it was classified in Category 2 (respiratory organs). |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 1 (respiratory organs, haemal system) |
Danger |
H372 |
P260
P264 P270 P314 P501 |
No information on humans is available. As for experimental animals, in a 3-month inhalation toxicity test (6 hours/day, 5 days/week) with rats, deaths were observed at 124 mg/m3 (converted guidance value: 0.017 mg/L), which was within the guidance value range (mist) for Category 1, and surviving animals were urgently slaughtered on the 12th day of exposure. In the same group, symptoms of irritation of the eyes and nose, dyspnea, suppression of body weight gain, decreases in the erythrocyte count, hemoglobin level and leukocyte count, ulcers and inflammation of the cornea, nasal turbinate, and stomach, atrophy of the thymus, depletion of lymphatic system tissues of the germinal centers of the lymph nodules and spleen, and decreased lipid content of the liver were observed (Environmental Risk Assessment for Chemical Substances Vol.9, Tentative Hazard Assessment Sheet (Ministry of the Environment, 2011)). From the above, effects on the haemal system in addition to irritation of the eyes, respiratory organs and gastrointestinal tract were observed. However, among these, the effect on the eyes corresponded to the hazard class for eye irritation, and the effect on the gastrointestinal tract was considered that to be due to ingestion or stress considered to be possibly due to ingestion or stress, thus, they were not included in the target organs. Therefore, it was classified in Category 1 (respiratory organs, haemal system). Besides, the classification was changed from the previous one since a new information source was adopted. |

From 72-hour EC50 (rate method) = 3.1 mg/L for algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) (OECD SIDS: 2008), it was classified in Category 2. |

P273
P391 P501 |
If chronic toxicity data are used, then it is classified in Category 2 due to being not rapidly degradable (BioWin), and 72-hour NOEC (rate method) = 1.0 mg/L for algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) (OECD SIDS: 2008). 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 (BioWin), and 96-hour LC50 = 3.9 mg/L for fish (Oncorhynchus mykiss) (OECD SIDS: 2008). From the above results, it was classified in Category 2. |
