1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Not classified |
- |
- | - | Based on LD50 values of 2600 mg/kg and 4700 mg/kg for rats (BUA 10 (1987)), the substance was classified into "Not classified" in JIS Classification (correspond to Category 5 in GHS classification). | FY2009 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (March, 2009) |
1 | Acute toxicity (Dermal) | Not classified |
- |
- | - | Based on a LD50 value of >16000 mg/kg for rats (BUA 10 (1987)), the substance was classified as "Not classified". | FY2009 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (March, 2009) |

2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Not classified |
- |
- | - | Based on a result of "no irritant" in a 24-hour exposure test with rabbits (BUA 10 (1987)), the substance was classified as "Not classified". | FY2009 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (March, 2009) |
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Not classified |
- |
- | - | Based on results in rabbit test that the irritant effect was greatest one hour after treatment, reaching a value of 7 on Draize score (max. 110), there was no observable damage to the epithelium of the cornea, and after 96-hour the irritant effect was no longer observable (BUA 10 (1987)), the substance was classified as "Not classified". | FY2009 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (March, 2009) |

- |
- | - | No data available. | FY2009 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (March, 2009) |
5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data from in vivo mutagenicity tests. From in vitro mutagenicity tests, there are reports of a positive Ames test (BUA 10 (1987)), a negative Chinese hamster V79 cell gene mutation test (HGPRT test) (BUA 114 (1993)), and a negative Chinese hamster V79 cell chromosomal aberration test (BUA 114 (1993)). In addition, the substance is an existing chemical substance, for which mutagenicity was established under the provisions of Article 57-3 of the Industrial Safety and Health Law. | FY2009 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (March, 2009) |

H350 | P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501 |
[Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1) and (2), clear evidence of carcinogenicity including malignant tumors was observed in two animal species, and based on (3), this substance is a target substance in the public announcement on guidelines in order to prevent the impairment of worker's health caused by the chemical substances decided by the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare based on paragraph (3) of Article 28 of the Industrial Safety and Health Act, and emphasizing these, it was classified in Category 1B. [Evidence Data] (1) In a two-year carcinogenicity study with rats dosed by feeding, an increased incidence of hepatocellular adenomas in males and females and an increased incidence of uterine adenocarcinomas in females were observed in the treated group (Results from Carcinogenicity Studies (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, 2004)). (2) In a two-year carcinogenicity study with mice dosed by feeding, an increase in the incidence of hepatoblastoma and hepatocellular carcinoma in males and females was observed in the treated group (Results from Carcinogenicity Studies (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, 2004)). (3) This substance is a target substance in the public announcement on guidelines in order to prevent the impairment of worker's health caused by the chemical substances decided by the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare based on paragraph (3) of Article 28 of the Industrial Safety and Health Act (guidelines in order to prevent the impairment of worker's health, announcement No. 27 on February 7, 2020). (4) As for the carcinogenicity classification results by domestic and international assessment organizations, the IARC classified this substance in Group 2B (IARC 123 (2020)) and the Japan Society For Occupational Health (JSOH) classified it in Group 2B (Recommendation of Occupational Exposure Limits (2020): Classification in 2019). |

7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | No data available. | FY2009 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (March, 2009) |
8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | Although there is a report that necropsy findings such as fatty degradation of the liver with large and fine fat droplets and parenchymatous degradation of the kidneys with fine fat droplets were noted in an oral acute toxicity test with rats (LD50: 4700 mg/kg) (BUA 10 (1987)), the dose level exceeded the guidance value range. Effects at dose level near the cut-off value are not clear. Therefore, classification was not possible. | FY2009 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (March, 2009) |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | In a 28-day repeated oral dose toxicity test with rats, unspecific symptoms coupled with slightly increased liver weights occurred at the highest dose level of 200 mg/kg (90-day equivalent: 62.2 mg/kg/day) (BUA 114 (1993)). The dose level is within the guidance value range. However, classification was not possible due to lack of other data. | FY2009 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (March, 2009) |
