1	Acute toxicity (Dermal)	Not classified	- -	-	-	On the basis of an LD50 value of > 2000 mg/kg for rabbits (SIAP (2000)), it was classified as "Not classified" in JIS classification (equivalent to Category 5 in UN GHS classification or "Not classified").	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases)	Not classified (Not applicable)	- -	-	-	"Liquids" according to GHS definition.	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）

Besides, it was considered to be a test by mist because the LC50 value (1.62 mg/L) was higher than the saturated vapour pressure concentration (0.0166 mg/L).	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）

This GHS classification was conducted based on the information sources and the guidance for classification and judgement which are described in the GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government etc. Using other literature, test results etc. as evidence and including different content from this classification result in a label or SDS are allowed.
Hazard statement and precautionary statement will show by hovering the mouse cursor over a code in the column of "Hazard statement" and "Precautionary statement," respectively. In the excel file, both the codes and statements are provided.
A blank or "-" in the column of "Classification" denotes that a classification for the hazard class was not conducted in the year.
An asterisk “*” in the column of “Classification” denotes that “Not classified (or No applicable)” and/or “Classification not possible” is applicable. Details are described in the column of “Rationale for the classification”. If no English translation is available for “Rationale for the classification,” please refer to the Japanese version of the results.
