HEALTH HAZARDS

Hazard class		Classification	Pictogram Signal word	Hazard statement (code)	Precautionary statement (code)	Rationale for the classification	Classification year (FY)	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government
1	Acute toxicity (Oral)	Category 5	- Warning	-	-	Category 5 based on SPECIES: Rat; ENDPOINT: LD50; VALUE: :2830mg/kg (ACGIH 7th, 2001; DFGOT vol.1, 1992) and 2130mg/kg (NTP TR 362, 1989)	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
1	Acute toxicity (Dermal)	Category 3	Danger	H311	P302+P352 P361+P364 P280 P312 P321 P405 P501	It was set as Category 3 based on rabbit LD50 value: 680mg/kg (ACGIH 7th, 2001, DFGOT vol.1, 1992, NTP TR 362, 1989).	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases)	Not classified (Not applicable)	- -	-	-	Liquid (GHS definition)	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	In preparation. Check the Japanese version.	FY2022	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2019 revised edition (Ver. 2.1))
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists)	Category 4	Warning	H332	P304+P340 P261 P271 P312	In preparation. Check the Japanese version.	FY2022	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2019 revised edition (Ver. 2.1))
2	Skin corrosion/irritation	Category 2	Warning	H315	P302+P352 P332+P313 P362+P364 P264 P280 P321	Based on the descriptions that edema and erythema were observed in the rabbit skin application test (ACGIH (7th, 2001) and NTP TR 362 (1989)) and that severe irritation was observed in Draize test on rabbits (PATTY (4th, 1994)), it was classified as Category 2 .	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
3	Serious eye damage/eye irritation	Category 2A	Warning	H319	P305+P351+P338 P337+P313 P264 P280	It was set as Category 2A from description that severe irritation (highly irritating) was accepted in the test applied to the eye of the rabbit of ACGIH (7th, 2001).	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
4	Respiratory sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
4	Skin sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	ACGIH (7th, 2001), PATTY (4th, 1994), and IARC 60 (1994) describe one case of allergic contact dermatitis, which do not fit the criteria since they all describe the same case. We therefore classified this as uncategorizable because of insufficient data.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
5	Germ cell mutagenicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	There are no results from in vivo tests. Although there are positive results from the chromosome aberration test and the gene mutation test using mammalian cultured cells and the bacterial reverse mutation test (ACGIH 7th, 2001, DFGOT vol.1, 1992, IARC 60, 1994, NTP DB, 2005), after reviewing the original document, the in vitro mutagenicity test were strongly positive for several parameters. So it was decided that the substance could not be classified.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
6	Carcinogenicity	Category 1B	Danger	H350	P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501	In preparation. Check the Japanese version.	FY2022	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2019 revised edition (Ver. 2.1))
7	Reproductive toxicity	Category 1B	Danger	H360	P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501	In preparation. Check the Japanese version.	FY2022	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2019 revised edition (Ver. 2.1))
8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Category 3 (narcotic effects, respiratory tract irritation)	Warning	H336 H335	P304+P340 P403+P233 P261 P271 P312 P405 P501	Due to the description that respiratory irritant was observed in the inhalation exposure test using the rat in ACGIH (7th, 2001), it was classified into Category 3 (respiratory irritant). Moreover, due to the description that loss of activity and staggering gaits were observed in the oral single dose and dermal administration studies using rat and mouse in NTP TR 362 (1989). So it is judged that it has anesthetic actions, therefore, it was classified in to Category 3 (anesthetic action).	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Category 2 (reproductive organs (female))	Warning	H373	P260 P314 P501	In preparation. Check the Japanese version.	FY2022	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2019 revised edition (Ver. 2.1))

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.
