5	Germ cell mutagenicity	Not classified	- -	-	-	There is a negative result by the dominant lethal test using a mouse (JMPR404 (1977)), and other in vivo data not being found. So it carried out the outside of Category according to classification guidelines. In addition, weak positive finding is accepted in the Salmonella test (JMPR584 (1982)).	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
6	Carcinogenicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	By the experiment using rat, it is suggested that this product has tumor promotions activity (HSDB (2004)), but there is no data of the carcinogenicity of this product, and data is insufficient. Therefore, it cannot be classified.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
7	Reproductive toxicity	Not classified	- -	-	-	In the teratogenicity study or three-generation reproduction studies using rats or rabbits, effects was not seen in reproductive potential and development, in partly, the slight effect on bone was seen (JMPR584 (1982), JMPR404 (1977)).
