FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
3	Serious eye damage/eye irritation	Category 1	Danger	H318	P305+P351+P338 P280 P310	There are no available data on eye test results, but because it was classified as being corrosive to the skin (Category 1), it was classified in Category 1.	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
4	Respiratory sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
4	Skin sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
5	Germ cell mutagenicity	Not classified	- -	-	-	It was classified as "Not classified" based on a negative result in a chromosomal aberration test with bone marrow cells after oral administration to mice (in vivo somatic cell mutagenicity test) (EU-RAR (2008)). Besides, as for in vitro tests, it is reported that it was negative in all of an Ames test, a mouse lymphoma test (OECD TG 476), a chromosomal aberration test with CHO cells, and an HPRT test with CHO cells (EU-RAR (2008)).	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
6	Carcinogenicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
7	Reproductive toxicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	In developmental toxicity tests by oral administration to pregnant rats and rabbits during the organogenesis period, no embryotoxicity or teratogenicity was observed in either animal species even at the doses where maternal animals showed toxic signs and reduced weight gain, and this substance did not affect the development of offspring (EU-RAR (2008)). However, because effects on sexual function and fertility are unknown due to no data, it was classified as "Classification not possible."	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Category 2 (systemic)	Warning	H371	P308+P311 P260 P264 P270 P405 P501	In an acute oral toxicity test with rats (200, 500, 1,000, 2,000 mg/kg bw), clinical signs of hypokinesia, sedation, dyspnea, and abdominal swelling were observed, but no abnormalities were found at necropsy, and an LD50 value of 1,689 mg/kg was reported (EU-RAR (2008)). The specific doses where the signs occurred are unknown, and the target organ could not be determined from the signs, however, because the LD50 value was within the guidance value range for Category 2, it was classified in Category 2 (systemic toxicity).	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	In a 28-day repeated oral administration test with rats (OECD TG 407), biochemical test findings of an increase in total bilirubin, a slight increase in urea nitrogen, and slight increases in the activities of ASAT and ALAT, liver enzymes, were observed in addition to reduced weight gain, impairment of motility, and changes in blood tests such as an increase in hematocrit value at 50 mg/kg/day (converted guidance value: 15.5 mg/kg/day), but no histopathological findings of toxicological significance related to these changes were obtained (EU-RAR (2008)). And because there are no data around the upper limit of the guidance value range, higher than the above dose, it was classified as "Classification not possible" due to lack of data. Besides, in a 14-day repeated dermal administration test with rats, repeated administration of higher doses was difficult because it is a corrosive substance, and no systemic effects were found at the dose tested (converted guidance value, 3.5 mg/kg/day) (EU-RAR (2008)).	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
10	Aspiration hazard	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）

11	Hazardous to the aquatic environment Short term (Acute)	Category 1	Warning	H400	P273 P391 P501	It was classified in Category 1 from 96-hour LC50 = 0.11 mg/L for fish (Pimephales promelas) (EU-RAR, 2008).	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
11	Hazardous to the aquatic environment Long term (Chronic)	Category 1	Warning	H410	P273 P391 P501	If chronic toxicity data are used, then it is classified in Category 1 due to being not rapidly degradable (not readily degradable, a degradation rate by BOD: -3, -5, -5% (Biodegradation and Bioconcentration Results of Existing Chemical Substances under the Chemical Substances Control Law, 2008)), and 21-day NOEC = 0.013 mg/L for crustacea (Daphnia magna) (EU-RAR, 2008). If acute toxicity data are used for a trophic level for which chronic toxicity data are not obtained, then it is classified in Category 1 due to being not rapidly degradable (not readily degradable, a degradation rate by BOD: -3, -5, -5% (Biodegradation and Bioconcentration Results of Existing Chemical Substances under the Chemical Substances Control Law, 2008)), and 96-hour LC50 = 0.11 mg/L for fish (Pimephales promelas) (EU-RAR, 2008). From the above results, it was classified in Category 1.	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
