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 4	Warning	H302	P301+P312 P264 P270 P330 P501	On the basis of an LD50 value of 1300 mg/kg bw for rats (EPA RED (1994)), it was classified in Category 4.	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
1	Acute toxicity (Dermal)	Not classified	- -	-	-	On the basis of an LD50 value of > 5000 mg/kg bw for rabbits (EPA RED (1994)), it was classified as "Not classified."	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases)	Not classified (Not applicable)	- -	-	-	"Solids" according to GHS definition.	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data.	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists)	Category 4	Warning	H332	P304+P340 P261 P271 P312	On the basis of an LC50 value of 5.2 mg/L in a 1-hour exposure to rats (converted to a 4-hour equivalent; 1.30 mg/L) (EPA RED (1994)), it was classified in Category 4. Besides, the test condition is considered to be dust because the test concentration is above the saturated vapour concentration (4.92E-08 mg/L).	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
2	Skin corrosion/irritation	Not classified	- -	-	-	As a result of an application of this substance (moistened by 0.5 mL of water) to six rabbits for 4 hours, all erythema showed in all animals after 30 to 60 minutes was cleared after 5 days, no edema was observed, and it was assessed as mild to slight irritant with a primary irritation index of 0.7. (HSDB (2009)) Therefore, it was classified as "Not classified" in JIS classification (Category 3 in UN GHS classification).	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
3	Serious eye damage/eye irritation	Category 2B	- Warning	H320	P305+P351+P338 P337+P313 P264	Because it was reported that moderate conjunctivitis shown in a test applied 50 mg to rabbits was cleared in 7 days (EPA RED (1994)), it was classified in Category 2B.	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
4	Respiratory sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data.	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
4	Skin sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	There is the information that a test using 20 guinea pigs reported no skin sensitization (HSDB (2009)), but it was classified as "Classification not possible" due to unknown details in test method and so on. Besides, there is the information that it is not a skin sensitizer in humans (EPA RED FACTS (1994)).	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
5	Germ cell mutagenicity	Not classified	- -	-	-	On the basis of a negative result in a micronucleus test by oral administration to mice (in vivo mutagenicity test) (EPA RED (1994)), it was classified as "Not classified." Besides, a negative result in an Ames test was reported as an in vitro test (EPA RED (1994)).	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
6	Carcinogenicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data.	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
7	Reproductive toxicity	Category 2	Warning	H361	P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501	Because an oral administration developmental toxicity test using rats reported an increased incidence of hydrocephalus, unossified sternebrae, incompletely ossified phalanges, and malaligned sternebrae in fetuses at a dose of 175 mg/kg/day where general toxicity in maternal animals including decreases in weight gain and food consumption was observed (EPA RED (1994)), it was classified in Category 2.	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Category 3 (Respiratory tract irritation)	Warning	H335	P304+P340 P403+P233 P261 P271 P312 P405 P501	From the information that an inhalation toxicity test in rats reported that the main sign was labored breathing in treatment groups of 4.7 mg/L/4h or higher and the information that it is irritating to respiratory tract (HSDB (2009)), it was classified in Category 3 (respiratory tract irritation). Besides, there is the information that oral administration at 940 to 3000 mg/kg to rats reported that the main signs were decreased activity, ataxia, dyspnea, and tremors (EPA RED (1994)).	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Because a NOEL of 1500 ppm (111 mg/kg/day) in a 13-week rat oral administration (diet) test which reported no adverse effects except decreases in weight gain and food consumption (EPA RED (1994)) is above a range of Category 2 in Guidance values, it corresponds to "Not classified" in an oral route. But it was classified as "Classification not possible" in specific target organ toxicity (repeated exposures) due to no data in other routes.	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
10	Aspiration hazard	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data.	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
