1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data. From findings in a combined repeated dose toxicity study with the reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test using rats given by gavage (OECD TG 422) (JECDB (Access on July 2016), Environmental Risk Assessment for Chemical Substances Vol. 7 (Ministry of the Environment, 2009)), LD50 value is thought to be > 1,000 mg/kg, which value is equivalent to Category 4 or "Not classified." However, it is not possible to classify the substance only from this information. Besides, as for the following items of health hazards, please refer to the classification of 2,3-dichlorotoluene (CAS: 32768-54-0) and 2,4-dichlorotoluene (CAS: 95-73-8) both of which are structural isomers of this substance. |

H361 | P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501 |
In a combined repeated dose toxicity study with the reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test using rats given by gavage (OECD TG 422), poor lactation in the dam and decrease in viability index of newborns were found at doses (300 mg/kg/day or higher), where a decrease in locomotor activity and suppression of body weight gain in parent animals were found (JECDB (Access on July 2016); Environmental Risk Assessment for Chemical Substances Vol. 7 (Ministry of the Environment, 2009)). From above information, according to the criteria of the GHS classification guidance for the Japanese government, the substance was classified in Category 2 for this hazard class. | FY2016 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1)) |

9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible |

- | - | No data available for humans. For experimental animals, in a combined repeated dose toxicity study with the reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test using rats given by gavage (OECD TG 422), centrilobular hypertrophy and ground glass appearance of hepatocytes, vacuolar and fatty degeneration in the proximal kidney tubules etc. were found. These findings were observed out of Category 2 (JECDB (Access on July 2016); Environmental Risk Assessment for Chemical Substances Vol. 7 (Ministry of the Environment, 2009)). There was no other information available for classification. Therefore, the substance was classified as "Classification not possible" due to lack of data. |

11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment Short term (Acute) | Category 1 |
Warning |
H400 | P273 P391 P501 |
From 48-hour EC50 = 0.38 mg/L for crustacea (Daphnia magna) (Results of Aquatic Toxicity Tests of Chemicals conducted by Ministry of the Environment in Japan (Ministry of the Environment, 2006)), it was classified in Category 1. | FY2016 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1)) |
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 2 due to being not rapidly degradable (Non-biodegradable, a degradation rate by BOD: 0% (Biodegradation and Bioconcentration Results of Existing Chemical Substances under the Chemical Substances Control Law, 1996)), and 72-hour NOEC = 0.37 mg/L for algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) (Results of Aquatic Toxicity Tests of Chemicals conducted by Ministry of the Environment in Japan (Ministry of the Environment), 2006). Besides, 21-day NOEC = 0.32 mg/L for crustacea (Daphnia magna) is reported (Results of Aquatic Toxicity Tests of Chemicals conducted by Ministry of the Environment in Japan (Ministry of the Environment, 2006)), but test substance exposure concentration used was concentration set which is lower than the water solubility. Because a toxicity value is estimated to become lower when calculated by measured concentration, the data on Daphnia magna was not adopted at the judgment of the expert. 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 (Non-biodegradable, a degradation rate by BOD: 0% (Biodegradation and Bioconcentration Results of Existing Chemical Substances under the Chemical Substances Control Law, 1996)), and 48-hour EC50 = 0.38 mg/L for crustacea (Daphnia magna) (Results of Aquatic Toxicity Tests of Chemicals conducted by Ministry of the Environment in Japan (Ministry of the Environment, 2006)). It was classified in Category 1 by drawing a comparison between the above results. |
