1	Acute toxicity (Dermal)	Category 3	Danger	H311	P302+P352 P361+P364 P280 P312 P321 P405 P501	Based on the datum that its LD50 = 400 mg/kg (HSDB (2003)) for rabbits, the substance was classified into Category 3.	FY2008	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （Sep, 2008）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases)	Not classified (Not applicable)	- -	-	-	Liquid (GHS definition)	FY2008	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （Sep, 2008）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available. As relevant information, a datum that its LCLo = 125 ppm/4h (RTECS (2005)) has been documented.	FY2008	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （Sep, 2008）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.	FY2008	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （Sep, 2008）
2	Skin corrosion/irritation	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	As an effect to humans, the substance has been documented to be "irritating to skin" (HSDB (2003)). However, since the document does not provide sufficient data for classification, classification is not possible. As relevant information, the substance is rated in R34 in EU classification.	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	Since the substance has been documented to be rated 10 on a scale of 1 to 10 in a Draize test in which it was tested on the eyes of rabbits (HSDB (2003)) and to be irritating to human eyes (HSDB (2003)), it was classified into Category 1.	FY2008	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （Sep, 2008）

NOTE:

GHS Classification Result by the Japanese Government is intended to provide a reference for preparing a GHS label or SDS for users. To include the same classification result in a label or SDS for Japan is NOT mandatory.
Users can cite or copy this classification result when preparing a GHS label or SDS. Please be aware, however, that the responsibility for a label or SDS prepared by citing or copying this classification result lies with users.
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.
