1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Category 4 |
Warning |
H302 | P301+P312 P264 P270 P330 P501 |
Based on the rat LD50 value of 493 mg/kg (PATTY, 5th (2001)), the substance was classified as Category 4. | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
1 | Acute toxicity (Dermal) | Not classified |
- |
- | - | Based on the report that the administration of 2000 mg/kg to rats caused no mortality and LD50 value was > 2000 mg/kg bw (HSDB (2006)), the substance was classified as "Not classified". | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) | Not classified (Not applicable) |
- |
- | - | Liquid (GHS definition) | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |

Danger |
H330 | P304+P340 P403+P233 P260 P271 P284 P310 P320 P405 P501 |
Based on the mouse 4-hour LC50 value of 178 ppm (PATTY, 5th (2001)), the substance was classified as Category 2. Although the rat LC50 value of > 235 ppm/4hrs was reported (PATTY, 5th (2001)), the category can not be specified from this data. The test concentration (178 ppm) was lower than 90% of the saturated vapor pressure concentration (543 ppm), the criterion values for gas were adopted. | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |

- |
- | - | In the rabbit test, 4-hour application of 0.5 mL of test substance to skin caused very slight erythema in 1 of 3 animals and slight erythema and slight edema were noted in second animals, and very slight to slight erythema in the third rabbit (HSDB (2006)). These symptoms were all reversible within 8 days, and it was concluded that this substance was not irritated. Therefore, the substance was classified as "Not classified". | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Not classified |
- |
