1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) | Not classified |
- |
- | - | Its rat LC50 value of 8000 ppm/4h (56 mg/L) (IUCLID (2000)) falls under the "Not classified" category. Since its saturated vapour concentration is <= 0.34*10^6 ppm (2398 mg/L), the test is assumed to have been conducted in vapour with almost no included mists. | FY2008 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (Sep, 2008) |

The substance was found: to be corrosive in the tests using rabbits that were treated for 10 minutes (IUCLID (2000)); to be corrosive by an application of 0.5 ml for 10 minutes (IUCLID (2000)); to cause mild to moderate erythema and edema in Draize tests using rabbits that were treated for 3 minutes (IUCLID (2000)); to cause severe irritation in other Draize tests using rabbits that were treated with 500 mg for 24 hours (IUCLID (2000)). Based on these results, the substance was classified into Category 1. | FY2008 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (Sep, 2008) |
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 1 |
Danger |
H318 | P305+P351+P338 P280 P310 |
The substance was found to cause severe burns on the cornea and lids in rabbit tests, and moderate irritation in Draize tests using rabbits that were treated with 20 mg for 24 hours (IUCLID (2000)). In addition, its classification for skin irritation and corrosion is Category 1. Based on this information, the substance was classified into Category 1. | FY2008 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (Sep, 2008) |

- | - | No data available. | FY2008 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (Sep, 2008) |
5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | Classification is not possible due to lack of information such as results from in vivo mutagenicity tests and in vitro mutagenicity tests using several indices. Also, Ames tests and mouse lymphoma assays (both are in vitro mutagenicity tests) resulted in a negative outcome (IUCLID (2000)). | FY2008 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (Sep, 2008) |

8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 2 (respiratory system) |
Warning |
H371 | P308+P311 P260 P264 P270 P405 P501 |
Six plant workers who were exposed to the substance developed lung injury (IUCLID (2000)). In addition, the substance is documented to contribute to the development of RADS (reactive airway dysfunction syndrome) (HSDB(2002)). These reports indicate that the substance is to be placed in Category 1; however, since they are based on List 2 data, it was classified into Category 2 (respiratory system). | FY2008 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (Sep, 2008) |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | No data available. | FY2008 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (Sep, 2008) |
10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | The substance was classified into "Classification not possible" due to lack of sufficient information for classification. | FY2008 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (Sep, 2008) |
