Warning |
H315 | P302+P352 P332+P313 P362+P364 P264 P280 P321 |
In light of reports that contact can irritate the skin and eyes (HSFS (2002)) and that it is highly irritating to skin (HSDB (2003)), the substance was classified into Category 2. | FY2007 | GHS Classification Manual (10 Feb, 2006)/Technical Guidance Document on the GHS Classification (6 Dec, 2005) |
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | Regarding this substance, it is reported that contact can irritate the skin and eyes (HSFS (2002)). However, since no other information is available, the substance was classified into the "Classification not possible" category. | FY2007 | GHS Classification Manual (10 Feb, 2006)/Technical Guidance Document on the GHS Classification (6 Dec, 2005) |

4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | It is reported that p-nitrosodimethylaniline may cause a skin allergy (HSFS (2002)) and that the substance causes skin sensitization in guinea pigs (HSDB (2003)). However, no supportive evidence was provided regarding the HSFS report, and no detailed test methods were provided regarding the HSDB report. Furthermore, the HSDB report added that the animal initially became sensitive to the compound, but 1-2 weeks later the guinea pig became insensitive to it. This statement raises the question of whether or not the substance is really sensitizing and thus we classified it into the "Classification not possible" category. | FY2007 | GHS Classification Manual (10 Feb, 2006)/Technical Guidance Document on the GHS Classification (6 Dec, 2005) |
