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)	Category 3	Danger	H301	P301+P310 P264 P270 P321 P330 P405 P501	Based on the rat LD50 value of 244 mg/kg (HSDB (2003)), the substance was classified into Category 3.	FY2010	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
1	Acute toxicity (Dermal)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.	FY2010	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases)	Not classified (Not applicable)	- -	-	-	Liquid (GHS definition)	FY2010	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	The rat LCLo value of 2 mg/L/1hr (= 406 ppm/1hr = 203 ppm/4hrs) was reported (PATTY, 5th (2001)). Since the value did not provide the basis for the classification, the classification was not possible. The toxicity value (LCLo value: 406 ppm/1hr) was lower than 90% of the saturated vapor pressure concentration (28816 ppm), the criterion values for gas were adopted.	FY2010	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.	FY2010	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	The substance was classified as Category 2 based on the documented case of "skin irritation" in rabbit test (HSDB (2003)). As relevant notes, contact with the undiluted substance caused irritation to human skin. The substance was fairly severe irritant and may cause pain and burns of second-degree after a few minutes of contact (HSDB (2003)).	FY2010	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）

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.
