1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Category 3 |
Danger |
H301 | P301+P310 P264 P270 P321 P330 P405 P501 |
Based on a LD50 value of 100 mg/kg for mice (EHC 134 (1992)), the substance was classified into Category 3. There is a report of a LD50 value of 300 mg/kg for rats on HSDB (2005) in List 2. | FY2009 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (March, 2009) |

5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Category 1B |
Danger |
H340 | P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501 |
[Rationale for the Classification] Because in vivo data on this substance itself available for the classification were not obtained, information on the whole cadmium compounds (as cadmium ion, Cd2+) was used for evaluation. From (1), (2), positive reports in germ cells and somatic cells were obtained on water-soluble cadmium chloride. Because this substance is also water soluble, it is thought to have hazards similar to cadmium chloride and was classified in Category 1B. The category was revised by considering knowledge on the whole cadmium compounds and water solubility of this substance. [Evidence Data] (1) It is reported that after administration of cadmium (mainly cadmium chloride), chromosomal aberrations in mouse spermatocytes and hamster oocytes and altered gene expression in mouse spermatid occurred (ATSDR (2012), IARC 58 (1993)). (2) It is reported that as the result of administrating cadmium chloride to mice, dose-dependent increases in the incidences of micronuclei, sister chromatid exchanges, and chromosomal aberrations were observed in the peripheral blood. Moreover, it is reported that increased single strand breaks in the DNA were observed in rats after administrating cadmium chloride (EU-RAR (2007), DFGOT Vol. 22 (2006), NICNAS IMAP (Accessed Dec. 2018)). [Reference Data, etc.] (3) It is reported that increases in the incidences of micronuclei and sister chromatid exchanges in peripheral lymphocytes were shown in workers occupationally exposed to cadmium (compound not specified) and that human lymphocytes from people inhabiting cadmium-polluted areas of China were found to have increased micronuclei rates and a higher frequency of chromosomal aberrations and severe aberration types. However, conflicting knowledge is also reported (ATSDR (2012)). (4) As for in vivo, a dominant lethal test by administrating cadmium (mainly cadmium chloride) was negative (ATSDR (2012), IARC 58 (1993), DFGOT Vol. 22 (2006)). (5) As for in vitro, it is reported that a bacterial reverse mutation test, a chromosomal aberration test and a sister chromatid exchange test in cultured mammalian cells (CHO) were positive (NICNAS IMAP (Accessed Jan. 2019)). (6) Water solubility of this substance is 1,560 g/L (HSDB (2012)). (7) This substance was classified in Muta. 1B in EU CLP. |

6 | Carcinogenicity | Category 1A |
Danger |
H350 | P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501 |
Since cadmium and cadmium compounds are classified into "Group 1" in IARC (IARC 58 (1993)), "K" in NTP (NTP Roc (11th, 2004)), and into Category 1 in Japan Society For Occupational Health (JSOH), the substance was classified into Category 1A. | FY2009 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (March, 2009) |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Category 2 |
Warning |
H361 | P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501 |
There are no available data for the substance. However, for cadmium chloride, a representative cadmium compound, developmental toxicity is suggested. Therefore, the substance was classified into Category 2 since the possibility of developmental toxicity of the substance cannot be ruled out. Refer also to cadmium chloride (CAS: 10108-64-2). | FY2009 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (March, 2009) |
8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 1 (respiratory organs, gastrointestinal system) |
Danger |
H370 | P308+P311 P260 P264 P270 P321 P405 P501 |
No data for the substance is available. However, as acute effects of cadmium compounds to humans, "chemical pneumonitis and oedema after inhalation exposure, and rapid onset with severe nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain after ingestion" are characteristic symptoms (EHC 134 (1992)). Based on the data, the substance was classified into Category 1 (respiratory system, alimentary system) | FY2009 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (March, 2009) |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 1 (respiratory organs, kidney, bone) |
Danger |
H372 | P260 P264 P270 P314 P501 |
No data for the substance is available. However, as chronic effects of cadmium compounds to humans, "emphysema, renal dysfunction such as glomerular proteinuria, and which induced hypercalciuria, disturbances in rate of calcium to phosphate, hypophosphataemia, formation of renal stones, osteomalacia and osteoporosis" are characteristic (EHC 134 (1992)). Based on the information, the substance was classified into Category 1 (respiratory system, kidney, bone). | FY2009 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (March, 2009) |
