---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Not classified |
- |
- | - | Based on the rat LD50 value of 4970 mg/kg (ECETOC TR No.95 (2005)), the substance was classified as "Not classified" in the JIS classification (corresponding to Category 5 in the UN-GHS classification). | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
1 | Acute toxicity (Dermal) | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | Insufficient data were available. As relevant information, as for the data from the "List 3" information source designated in the GHS classification guidance for the Japanese government, the rabbit LD50 value of 6700 microL/kg (6070 mg/kg) was documented (RTECS (2008)). | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |

3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 2A |
Warning |
H319 | P305+P351+P338 P337+P313 P264 P280 |
The substance was classified as Category 2A based on the documented case of "moderate irritation" (ECETOC TR 95 (2005)) resulted from the test in which 50 mg of the test substance was instilled to the rabbits' eyes. | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |

5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | The classification was not possible due to lack of in vivo test data. As relevant information, as for in vitro study, negative results were reported in the Ames test (NTB DB (Access on July 2010)). | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible |

- | - | No data available. | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | In the oral administration study using rabbits during the organogenetic period, clinical signs of dams were observed with most severity in the high dose group (400 mg/kg) . However, there was no effect of treatment on embryo viability. The incidences of resorption and fetal deaths were similar among the treatment group, and there was no influence in other developmental indices either. In addition, embryo/fetal morphogenesis was not observably altered in the findings of external, visceral and skeletal examinations of fetuses (NTP TER 87060 (1987)). In addition, in the oral administered study using mice during the organogenetic period, mortality of dams increased with the rise of the dosage, but there were no effects of treatment on developmental indices. The incidence of major malformations was low in all groups and was not dose dependent (NTP TER 86059 (1987)). As stated above, there were no adverse effects on development of offspring, however, effects on sexual functions and fertility of parental animal were unknown, therefore the substance was classified as "Classification not possible". | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | No data available. | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | In the 17-day inhalation study in mice exposed to saturated vapors at 400 ppm/17hrs/day (converted concentration as that of 90-day study with 6hrs/day exposure basis: 0.844 mg/L/6hrs), restlessness was observed as the only clinical sign in spite of no remarkable findings at necropsy (ECETOC TR95 (2005)). However no further information was provided, and the classification was not possible due to lack of sufficient data. As relevant information, as the results of the studies administered to pregnant animals during the organogenetic period, signs of toxicity such as ataxia, coma, dyspnea appeared in the rabbits treated at 400 mg/kg/day for 14 days (converted dose level as that of 90-day study: 62.2 mg/kg/day) (NTP TER 87060 (1987)), and in the mice study, highly sensitive of the function of central nervous system occurred and clinical signs such as ataxia, coma and lethargy were observed in most of the animals treated at 300 - 4500 mg/kg/day for 10 days (converted dose level as that of 90-day study: 33.3 mg/kg/day or higher) (NTP TER 86059 (1987)). Although these results suggested the effect on central nervous system, these were not adopted as the basis of classification because these studies was conducted using pregnant animals and with short-term treatment period. | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |

- |
- | - | Classified as "Not classified" from its 96h-LC50 > 100 mg/L for fish (Alburnus alburnus) and crustacea (Nitocra spinipes) (HSDB, 2007). | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment Long term (Chronic) | Not classified |
