7	Reproductive toxicity	Category 1B	Danger	H360	P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501	The substance was tested in an oral administration test using the Fertility Assessment by Continuous Breeding (FACB) protocol in mice, and only four of 19 low-dose pairs delivered a litter, and no intermediate- or high-dose pairs delivered a litter. In the seven litters delivered at the low-dose, the number of live pups/litter was reduced from control values by 90%; there were insufficient live pups to calculate pup weight adjusted for body weight. The control and high-dose mice were cross-mated, the groups that contained either treated males, or treated females, gave birth to no live young, while 61% of cohabited control pairs bore live young (NTP RACB84048 (1995)). In addition, using rats, when mating males received 2 g/kg with untreated females at 3, 6, and 10 weeks after exposure, a significant reduction in pregnancies and live pups and a significant increase in preimplantation loss (HSDB (2003)) was noted. Based on the above, the substance was classified into Category 1B.	FY2008	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （Sep, 2008）

9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.	FY2008	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （Sep, 2008）
10	Aspiration hazard	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.	FY2008	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （Sep, 2008）

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.
