4	Skin sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
5	Germ cell mutagenicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data. In addition, in ATSDR (draft, 2005), there is the description that lead induces chromosome aberration to humans, and the inorganic lead compound is classified into the germ cell mutagenicities 3A (equivalent to GHS Category 1B-2) according to MAK/BAT (2005).	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
6	Carcinogenicity	Category 1B	Danger	H350	P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501	There is no data of this product. But as a lead compound, it is equivalent to Category1B (inorganic lead compounds, Group 2A ) in IARC87 (2004), equivalent to Category1B-2 (Reasonably anticipated to be human carcinogens) in NTPRoC (11th, 2005), and equivalent to Category 2 (respectively B-2, A3, 2B) in IRIS (1993), ACGIH-TLV (2005), and Occupational Health Society advice (2005).Therefore, it was set as Category 1B according to Group 2A of IARC87 (2004).

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.
