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 2	Danger	H300	P301+P310 P264 P270 P321 P330 P405 P501	Based on a LD50 value of 20.7 mg/kg for rats (HSDB (2003)), the substance was classified into Category 2.	FY2009	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （March, 2009）
1	Acute toxicity (Dermal)	Not classified	- -	-	-	Based on a LD50 value of 3160 - 5010 mg/kg for rabbits (HSDB (2003)), the substance was classified as "Not classified" in JIS Classification (correspond to Category 5 in GHS classification).	FY2009	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （March, 2009）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases)	Not classified (Not applicable)	- -	-	-	Liquid (GHS definition)	FY2009	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （March, 2009）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours)	Category 3	Danger	H331	P304+P340 P403+P233 P261 P271 P311 P321 P405 P501	Based on a LC50 value of approx. 2.45 mg/L/4h (604 ppmV) for rats (HSDB (2003)), the substance was classified into Category 3. Since saturated vapour pressure concentration is 10644 ppm, the test was considered to be conducted for vapour with almost no included mists and classification criteria for gas was adopted.

Necropsy of lethalities revealed hemorrhagic lungs, liver discoloration, and gastrointestinal inflammation (HSDB (2003)). In a rat acute vapour inhalation toxicity test, lung congestion was observed on necropsy for both survivors and lethalities at dose levels of 1.95 - 2.77 mg/L within the guidance value range for Category 1 (HSDB (2003)). Although the substance correspond to Category 1 based on guidance value range, the substance was classified into Category 2 (respiratory system) because of information in List 2 and non-meeting Decision criteria 1b 3).

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.
