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)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Classification not possible due to lack of data. As relevant information, LD50 values are 5790 mg/kg (RTECS (2003)) and 1800 mg/kg (GESTIS (access on Nov. 2009)) for rats.	FY2009	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （March, 2009）
1	Acute toxicity (Dermal)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.	FY2009	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （March, 2009）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases)	Not classified (Not applicable)	- -	-	-	Solid (GHS definition)	FY2009	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （March, 2009）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.	FY2009	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （March, 2009）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.	FY2009	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （March, 2009）
2	Skin corrosion/irritation	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Classification not possible due to lack of data. Although there is a report that when a 80% water-based paste was applied on the skin of rabbits, violet residues of the test substance were found after 24-hour and after 1 week. There were no signs of inflammation (GESTIS (access on Nov. 2009)). The original literature can not be confirmed and experimental details are not clear.	FY2009	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （March, 2009）
3	Serious eye damage/eye irritation	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Classification not possible due to lack of data. There is a result of "mild" irritating in a Draize test where 500 mg was applied to the skin of rabbits for 24-hour (RTECS (2003)). As information in a document in List 3, there is a report that application of 50 mg of substance into the conjunctival sac of rabbits resulted in slight irritation (reddening). Although the effect was noticeable after 1-hour and also after 24-hour (GESTIS (access on Nov. 2009)), the details are not clear.	FY2009	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （March, 2009）
4	Respiratory sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.	FY2009	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （March, 2009）
4	Skin sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.	FY2009	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （March, 2009）
5	Germ cell mutagenicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Classification not possible due to lack of data from in vivo mutagenicity tests. From in vitro mutagenicity tests, there are reports of a positive Ames test and a positive CHL cell chromosomal aberration test (Mutagenicity Test Data of Existing Chemical Substances based on the toxicity investigation system of the Industrial Safety and Health Law (1996)). In addition, the substance is an existing chemical substance, for which mutagenicity was established under the provisions of Article 57-3 of the Industrial Safety and Health Law	FY2009	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （March, 2009）
6	Carcinogenicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.	FY2009	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （March, 2009）

9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Classification not possible due to lack of data. As information in a document in List 3, there is a report of changes to the hemogram and functional changes to the liver and kidneys following oral administration to rats at 125 mg/kg for 30 days (GESTIS (access on Nov. 2009)), however, the details are not clear. Additionally, it was reported that as a consequence of repeated exposure of factory workers who handled anthraquinone and its derivatives, only irritation to the airways, functional changes to the nervous system and gastrointestinal complaints were reported, however signs of an incipient toxic pneumofibrosis were diagnosed by x-ray after long-term exposure (GESTIS (access on Nov. 2009)), however, the original literature can not be confirmed and the details are not clear.

NOTE:

GHS Classification Result by the Japanese Government is intended to provide a reference for preparing a GHS label or SDS for users. To include the same classification result in a label or SDS for Japan is NOT mandatory.
Users can cite or copy this classification result when preparing a GHS label or SDS. Please be aware, however, that the responsibility for a label or SDS prepared by citing or copying this classification result lies with users.
This GHS classification was conducted based on the information sources and the guidance for classification and judgement which are described in the GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government etc. Using other literature, test results etc. as evidence and including different content from this classification result in a label or SDS are allowed.
Hazard statement and precautionary statement will show by hovering the mouse cursor over a code in the column of "Hazard statement" and "Precautionary statement," respectively. In the excel file, both the codes and statements are provided.
A blank or "-" in the column of "Classification" denotes that a classification for the hazard class was not conducted in the year.
An asterisk “*” in the column of “Classification” denotes that “Not classified (or No applicable)” and/or “Classification not possible” is applicable. Details are described in the column of “Rationale for the classification”. If no English translation is available for “Rationale for the classification,” please refer to the Japanese version of the results.
