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)	Not classified	- -	-	-	It was classified as "Not classified" in the Classification JIS (corresponding to Category 5 in UN GHS classification) based on an LD50 value of 3,730 mg/kg for rats (USEPA/HPV (2005), corresponding to List 1).	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
1	Acute toxicity (Dermal)	Not classified	- -	-	-	It was classified as "Not classified" because it is reported that there were no deaths after administration of 2,000 mg/kg bw to rabbits, and an LD50 value was > 2,000 mg/kg (USEPA/HPV (2005)).	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases)	Not classified (Not applicable)	- -	-	-	Liquid (normal temperatures) (At 1013 mbar/20 deg C: liquid (GESTIS (Access on Aug. 2012)))	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
2	Skin corrosion/irritation	Category 2	Warning	H315	P302+P352 P332+P313 P362+P364 P264 P280 P321	It was classified in Category 2 because it is described that it is a severe skin irritant in humans (HSDB (2012)), and there is a report on List 3 knowledge that it was severely irritating in a Draize test in which 100 mg was applied to the rabbit skin for 24 hours (RTECS (2011)).	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
3	Serious eye damage/eye irritation	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.	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	Category 1	Warning	H317	P302+P352 P333+P313 P362+P364 P261 P272 P280 P321 P501	It was classified in Category 1 because it is listed as a contact allergen in Contact Dermatitis (Frosch) (5th, 2011) (corresponding to List 1). Besides, this substance was given Sh as a sensitizer in DFG classification in Germany (MAK/BAT (2011)). And as for humans, allergic reactions often occurred after the use of a cream containing this substance and alpha-amylcinnamic alcohol, and chronic recalcitrant eczema was observed in markedly sensitive cases among people who reacted to this substance (HSDB (2012)).	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
5	Germ cell mutagenicity	Not classified	- -	-	-	It was classified as "Not classified" because it is reported that it was negative in an in vivo micronucleus test with mouse bone marrow (in vivo somatic cell mutagenicity test) (USEPA/HPV (2005)). Besides, as for in vitro tests, there is a report on a negative result in an Ames test (USEPA/HPV (2005)).	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	- -	-	-	No data available.	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Because there were no deaths or evidence of toxicity after dermal administration of 2,000 mg/kg bw to rabbits (USEPA/HPV (2005)), it corresponds to "Not classified" in the dermal route. And only depression and porphyrin-like deposits around the eye and nose are described as findings in an oral administration test with rats, and an LD50 value was reported to be 3,730 mg/kg (USEPA/HPV (2005)), but the details are unknown. Furthermore, because of no data in inhalation administration, it was classified as "Classification not possible" for specific target organ toxicity (single exposure).	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	In a 14-week diet administration toxicity test with rats, liver and kidney weights increased in the high dose group at 4,000 ppm (males 287.3 mg/kg, females 320.3 mg/kg), but these were not associated with related histopathological changes, and no differences from the control group were seen in food consumption, hematological measurements, serum analyses, urine tests, and other test items (USEPA/HPV (2005)). From the results, the high dose of 4,000 ppm where effects were found exceeded the guidance value range, therefore it corresponds to "Not classified" in the oral route. However, because effects in the other routes (inhalation, dermal) are unknown due to no data, it was classified as "Classification not possible" for specific target organ toxicity (repeated exposure).	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）

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 2 due to being not rapidly degradable (readily biodegradable, BOD 51% (Biodegradation and Bioconcentration Results of Existing Chemical Substances under the Chemical Substances Control Law, 1981)), and 21-day NOEC = 0.014 mg/L for crustacea (Daphnia magna) (Results of Aquatic Toxicity Tests of Chemicals conducted by Environment Agency in Japan (Environment Agency, 1999)). 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 (readily biodegradable, BOD: 51% (Biodegradation and Bioconcentration Results of Existing Chemical Substances under the Chemical Substances Control Law, 1981)), and 96-hour LC50 = 0.91 mg/L for fish (Oryzias latipes) (Results of Aquatic Toxicity Tests of Chemicals conducted by Environment Agency in Japan (Environment Agency, 1999)).
