1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Not classified |
- |
- | - | Its rat LD50 values are documented to be 4920 mg/kg (PATTY (5th, 2001)), 4600 mg/kg for male, and 3500 mg/kg for female (PATTY (5th, 2001)). In addition, 3-day LD50 values are reported to be 3016 mg/kg for male and 1823 mg/kg for female (ECETOC TR95 (2005)). Among these five documented values, one 3-day LD50 value is <= 2000 mg/kg, and other four values are above 2000 mg/kg. As such, the substance was classified into the "Not classified" category using the JIS classification criteria (Category 5 in the United Nations classification). | FY2008 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (Sep, 2008) |
1 | Acute toxicity (Dermal) | Category 4 |
Warning |
H312 | P302+P352 P362+P364 P280 P312 P321 P501 |
The rabbit LD50 values are reported to be 2010 mg/kg for male, 2220 mg/kg for female, and 1410 mg/kg (PATTY (5th, 2001)). Among these values, the value representing the highest toxicity (1410 mg/kg) was used as grounds for classifying the substance into Category 4. | FY2008 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (Sep, 2008) |

1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | No data available. Several reports stated that no death case occurred at the saturated vapour exposure. Assuming the vapour pressure to be 0.00118 mmHg at 25degC, the saturated concentration is calculated to be 1.6 ppm or 0.012 mg/L. Since this value is a very low number, it is not a useful reference for acute toxicity classification. |

- |
- | - | No data available. | FY2008 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (Sep, 2008) |
2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Not classified |
- |
- | - | A sealed application of 0.5 ml of this substance to the skin of rabbits for 4 hours resulted in the development of mild erythema and edemas that were observed for 24 hours (PATTY (5th, 2001)). Based on this report, the substance was classified into the "Not classified" category using the JIS classification criteria (Category 3 in the United Nations classification). It is also reported that an application of 4 ml of this substance for 24 hours resulted in more persisting erythema and edema as well as necrosis (PATTY (5th, 2001)). | FY2008 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (Sep, 2008) |
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 2A |
Warning |
H319 | P305+P351+P338 P337+P313 P264 P280 |
Application of this substance, 0.1 or 0.005 ml, to rabbit eyes resulted in severe corneal or conjunctival damage in all six treated animals, and complete recovery from these damage in 7 to 21 days (PATTY (5th, 2001)). Since the EU Risk Phrase for this substance is R41, and based on the test results that eye damage healed completely within 21 days, the substance was classified into Category 2A. | FY2008 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (Sep, 2008) |
4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible |

5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Not classified |
- |
- | - | Negative results have been reported in both micronucleus tests using mouse (both sexes) peripheral blood erythrocytes (PATTY (5th, 2001)) and chromosomal aberration tests using rat (both sexes) bone marrow cells (ECETOC TR95 (2005)). As there are two or more sets of negative results obtained in in vivo mutagenicity tests using somatic cells, the substance was classified into the "Not classified" category. Regarding in vitro tests, while a gene mutation test gave weak positive results (ECETOC TR95 (2005)), an Ames test (ECETOC TR95 (2005)) and sister chromatid exchange test using CHO cells both yielded negative results (PATTY (5th, 2001)). | FY2008 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (Sep, 2008) |
6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | No data available. | FY2008 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (Sep, 2008) |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | The following reports are available: according to a reliable reproduction toxicity test, the substance has no effect on fertility at the dose of 1000 mg/kg/d; most developmental toxicity tests found negative results; and the dose of 1000 mg/kg/d has toxic effects on maternal animals, but not the offspring (SIDS (accessed in February 2009)). Since we cannot verify details of these studies, classification is not possible. | FY2008 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (Sep, 2008) |
8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | No data available. | FY2008 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (Sep, 2008) |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | Rabbits were dermally exposed to doses of 100 to 1000 mg/kg nine times during an 11-day period with each application lasted for 6 hours per day. In this study, while signs of irritation were observed, no evidence of systemic toxicity was noted (PATTY (5th, 2001)). Since test details provided are insufficient, classification is not possible. | FY2008 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (Sep, 2008) |
