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	- -	-	-	On the basis of 4 LD50 values for rats (4370 mg/kg, 2510 mg/kg, 2890 mg/kg and 2800-3000 mg/kg) (all PATTY (5th, 2001)), it was classified as "Not classified" in JIS classification (Category 5 in UN GHS classification).	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
1	Acute toxicity (Dermal)	Not classified	- -	-	-	On the basis of 4 LD50 values for rabbits (3550 mg/kg, 3810 mg/kg, 2820 mg/kg, 4370 mg/kg) (all PATTY (5th, 2001)), it was classified as "Not classified" in JIS classification (Category 5 in UN GHS classification).	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases)	Not classified (Not applicable)	- -	-	-	"Liquids" according to GHS definition.	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No mortality in rats both in an 8-hour exposure to saturated vapour pressure concentration (11.7 mg/L) (converted to a 4-hour exposure equivalent value: 16.5 mg/L) and in 6-hour exposure to saturated vapour pressure concentration (10.8 mg/L) (converted to a 4-hour exposure equivalent value: 13.2 mg/L) were reported. (PATTY (5th, 2001) Because the category cannot be determined from the reports, it was classified as "Classification not possible."	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data.	FY2011	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	On the basis that occlusive applications of 0.5 mL for 4 hours to rabbit skins produced mild to moderate erythema and edema in 4 out of 6 animals, but no necrosis or ulceration (PATTY (5th, 2001)), it was classified in Category 2. Besides, another test of an occlusive application to rabbits for 24 hours reports slightly irritant (ECETOC TR 95 (2005)), and another reports that severe irritation with persistent fissuring, desquamation, ulceration, and necrosis appeared under more rigorous conditions (PATTY (5th, 2001)).	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
3	Serious eye damage/eye irritation	Category 2A	Warning	H319	P305+P351+P338 P337+P313 P264 P280	Because a reversing time is over 7-day in a test which reported that instillation of 0.005 to 0.1 mL into rabbit eyes caused severe conjunctivitis and a mild diffuse corneal injury which required 3 to 14 days for complete recovery (PATTY (5th, 2001)), it was classified in Category 2A. Besides, another test using rabbits reported that a moderate to severe irritation, a moderate corneal injury, and slight iritis observed reversed within a week (HSDB (2002)).	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
4	Respiratory sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data.	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
4	Skin sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data.	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
5	Germ cell mutagenicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	The classification is not possible due to no in vivo test data. Besides, negatives in an Ames test and a chromosomal aberration test using rat lymphocyte are reported as in vitro tests (ECETOC TR 95 (2005)).	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
6	Carcinogenicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data.	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
7	Reproductive toxicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	In an inhalation test exposed to pregnant rats during an organogenetic period, only observed symptoms of periocular encrustation, microscopic evidence of a corneal ulcer in maternal animals, and poor ossification of proximal phalanges of the hind limb in fetuses, but no maternal or fetal toxicity were reported. (ECETOC TR 95 (2005)) In an inhalation test exposed to pregnant rabbits during an organogenetic period, symptoms of hypoactivity, ataxia, prostration, and emaciation, and a high degree of mortality (27.3%) in a high dose group, but no effects on pregnancy and fetal parameters were observed. (ECETOC TR 95 (2005)) However, it was classified as "Classification not possible" due to lack of data, because there are no data on adverse effects on sexual function and fertility caused by exposures prior to mating.	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Category 3 (Narcotic effects)	Warning	H336	P304+P340 P403+P233 P261 P271 P312 P405 P501	On the basis that anesthetization without mortality in an 8-hour inhalation exposure to rats, CNS depression by oral administration of high dose to rats, and comatose within 15 to 30 minutes of dermal application to rabbits were observed (all PATTY (5th, 2001)), it was classified in Category 3 (narcotic effects).	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	In an inhalation test exposed to two strains of rats (SD and Fisher 344) for 6 hours a day for 14 weeks, the female Fischer 344 rats showed decreased weight gains in a high concentration group (300 ppm), but both strains showed no difference from a control group in weights, food and water consumption, no abnormalities in necropsy, and no exposure-related changes in a pathological test. (ECETOC TR 95 (2005)). Three hundred ppm (1.475 mg/L) in the high concentration group, which is above the upper limit in Guidance value (1 mg/L), corresponds to "Not classified" in inhalation exposure, however, effects in other administration routes (oral, dermal) are unknown due to no data. Therefore, it was classified as "Classification not possible" in specific target organ toxicity (repeated exposures).	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
10	Aspiration hazard	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data.	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
