H334 | P304+P340 P342+P311 P261 P284 P501 |
The Japan Society for Occupational Health (JSOH) classified chromium as occupational sensitizers to the airway Group 2 (Recommendation of Occupational Exposure Limits (Japan Society For Occupational Health (JSOH), 2013)). This substance was not specified in this classification, but it was thought that chromium compounds were included. Therefore, this substance, a chromium compound, was also thought to cause respiratory sensitization, and it was classified in Category 1. | FY2013 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0)) |

Warning |
H317 | P302+P352 P333+P313 P362+P364 P261 P272 P280 P321 P501 |
The Japan Society for Occupational Health (JSOH) classified chromium as occupational skin sensitizers Group 1 (Recommendation of Occupational Exposure Limits (Japan Society For Occupational Health (JSOH), 2013)). This substance was not specified in this classification, but it was thought that chromium compounds were included. Therefore, this substance, a chromium compound, was also thought to cause skin sensitization, and it was classified in Category 1. | FY2013 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0)) |
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, it was negative in a micronucleus test with mouse bone marrow cells (ATSDR (2012), CICAD 76 (2009)) and negative in a DNA damage test (alkaline elution method) with rat kidney (CICAD 76 (2009)). As for in vitro, many bacterial reverse mutation tests were negative, and negative and positive results were mixed in chromosomal aberration tests with cultured mammalian cells and human lymphocytes (CICAD 76 (2009), IARC (1999), ATSDR (2012)). And it was negative in a gene mutation test with cultured cells (CICAD 76 (2009), ATSDR (2012)) and positive in a micronucleus test with cultured human cells (CICAD 76 (2009)). | FY2013 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0)) |
6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | It was classified as "Classification not possible" because it is classified in A4 (as chromium metal and Cr (III) compound) in ACGIH (1994), D (as chromium (III), insoluble salts) in EPA (1998), and Group 3 (as chromium (III)) in IARC (1990). The category was changed according to the GHS classification guidance for the Japanese government. | FY2013 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0)) |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data. Besides, in a test in which male rats were orally dosed (drinking water) and effects on male fertility and copulation behavior were investigated, decreases in body weight, absolute testis weight, the absolute and relative weight of the seminal vesicle, and the absolute and relative weight of the preputial gland were observed in males, and as for copulation behavior, an increase in the post-ejaculation latency, a decrease in the number of males ejaculating, and decreased aggressivity were found (CICAD 76 (2009), ATSDR (2012)). However, it is reported that no effects on the number of pregnant females, the number of implantations, and the number of viable fetuses were seen. There is no information on developmental toxicity. Therefore, it was classified as "Classification not possible" due to lack of data. | FY2013 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0)) |

11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment Short term (Acute) | Category 3 |
- |
H402 | P273 P501 |
It was classified in Category 3 from 24-hour EC50 = 22 mg-Cr/L (equivalent to 67 mg-CrCl3/L) for crustacea (Daphnia magna) (CICADs 76, 2009). | FY2013 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0)) |
11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment Long term (Chronic) | Category 3 |
- |
H412 | P273 P501 |
If chronic toxicity data are used, then it is classified as "Not classified" due to 21-day NOEC = 0.7 mg-Cr/L (equivalent to 2.1 mg-CrCl3/L) for crustacea (Daphnia magna) (CICADs 76, 2009; Environmental Risk Assessment for Chemical Substances Vol. 8 (Ministry of the Environment, 2010)), despite unknown behavior of the metal compound, this substance in water. If acute toxicity data are used for a trophic level for which chronic toxicity data are not obtained, then it is classified in Category 3 due to 96-hour LC50 = 31.5 mg/L (equivalent to 96 mg-CrCl3/L) for fish (Fundulus heteroclitus) (CICADs 76, 2009), despite unknown behavior of the metal compound, this substance in water. By drawing a comparison between the above results, it was classified in Category 3. |
