[Evidence Data] (1) This substance is considered to be an irritant of the eyes, mucous membranes, and skin. Splashes of this substance into the eyes will produce prompt and severe damage. Skin contact can produce chemical burns and irritation if not removed immediately (ACGIH (7th, 2001)). (2) This substance is strongly irritating to the eyes, nose, and throat (PATTY (6th, 2012)). [Reference Data, etc.] (3) A corrosive reaction was observed after 24 hours in a test in which 25 microL of this substance was applied to the auricles of rabbits (REACH registration dossier (Access on August 2019)). (4) It was classified as "Skin Corr. 1A (H314)" in the EU CLP classification (EU CLP classification (Access on August 2019)).

[Evidence Data] (1) This substance is considered to be an irritant of the eyes, mucous membranes, and skin. Splashes of this substance into the eyes will produce prompt and severe damage. Skin contact can produce chemical burns and irritation if not removed immediately (ACGIH (7th, 2001)). (2) This substance is corrosive and irritating to the eyes, nose and throat (HSDB (Access on July 2019)). (3) This substance is strongly irritating to the eyes, nose, and throat (PATTY (6th, 2012)). (4) The vapor of this substance is irritating to the eyes and mucous membranes (OEL Documentations (Japan Society For Occupational Health (JSOH), 1976)). (5) This substance was classified as "Skin Corrosion (Category 1)."	FY2019	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1))
4	Respiratory sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Classification not possible due to lack of data.	FY2019	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1))
4	Skin sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Classification not possible due to lack of data.	FY2019	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1))
5	Germ cell mutagenicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] There are no in vivo data. Therefore, classification was not possible due to lack of data. [Evidence Data] (1) As for in vitro, there was a report on a negative result in a bacterial reverse mutation test (REACH registration dossier (Access on August 2019)).

8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Category 3 (Respiratory tract irritation)	Warning	H335	P304+P340 P403+P233 P261 P271 P312 P405 P501	[Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1) and (2), it was classified in Category 3 (respiratory tract irritation). Information on pulmonary edema in humans on which the previous classification was based was not adopted because it was derived from ICSC, the information source in List 3. The category was changed from the previous classification by the use of new information sources. [Evidence Data] (1) As a result of the ability of this substance to release hydrochloric acid (CAS RN 7647-01-0) on contact with moisture in the respiratory tract by inhalation, it is considered to be an upper respiratory tract irritant. Also, under some conditions, this substance itself might reach the lungs (ACGIH (7th, 2001), HSDB (Access on July 2017)). (2) The vapors of this substance are irritating to the eyes, nose, and throat and affect breathing (HSDB (Access on July 2019)).
