---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Not classified |
- |
- | - | It was classified as "Not classified" because it is reported that administration of 5 mL/kg bw to rats caused no death, and an LD50 value was > 5 mL/kg bw (4,700 mg/kg bw) (ECETOC TR95 vol. II (2005)). | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
1 | Acute toxicity (Dermal) | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | No data available. | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) | Not classified (Not applicable) |
- |
- | - | Liquid (GHS definition) | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | There is a report on an LC50 value of > 6.99 mg/L/4 hours (1150 ppm) for rats (ECETOC TR95 vol. II (2005)), but because the category cannot be determined, the classification is not possible. Besides, because the exposure concentration was lower than 90% of the saturated vapour pressure concentration (12.27 mg/L), a reference value of gas was applied as a vapour with little mist. | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | No data available. | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Not classified |
- |
- | - | It is reported that it had a low potential of irritancy in a test with rabbits (OECD TG404, GLP) (ECETOC TR95 vol. II (2005)). And it is described that the test results showed slight erythema in two out of three animals and slight edema in one, but it could not be evidence to classify this substance as an irritant (IUCLID (2000)). Therefore, it was classified as "Not classified" in the Classification JIS (corresponding to Category 3 in UN GHS classification). | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 2B |
Warning |
H320 | P305+P351+P338 P337+P313 P264 |
In a test with rabbits (OECD TG405, GLP), there was hyperemia of the conjunctiva initially and slight irritation, but the symptoms disappeared by day 2, and there were no effects on the cornea or iris (ECETOC TR95 vol. II (2005)). And in another report of the test, it is described that the mean scores, parameters per site, were not high enough to classify it in R36 of the EU Risk Phrase, but positive responses were seen in all three animals, and as a result, it was judged as slightly irritating (IUCLID (2000)). Therefore, it was classified in Category 2B. | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | No data available. | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | It is reported that there was no evidence of delayed contact hypersensitivity in a maximization test guinea pigs (GLP-compliant) (ECETOC TR95 vol. II (2005)), and it was not sensitizing (IUCLID (2000)), but it is List 2 data, and the positive rate is unknown. Therefore, it was classified as "Classification not possible." | FY2012 | 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, as for in vitro tests, it is reported that it was negative in both an Ames test and a chromosomal aberration test with CHO cells of Chinese hamsters (ECETOC TR95 vol. II (2005)). | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | No data available. | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | No data available. | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | After oral administration of 4700 mg/kg far above the guidance value range to rats, non-specific signs of lethargy, salivation, and pallor of the extremities were observed, and all the animals returned to normal by day 4 (ECETOC TR95 vol. II (2005)). Therefore, it corresponds to "Not classified" in the oral route. On the other hand, as for inhalation administration, 4-hour exposure to 6.99 mg/L (vapour) caused no death, and the only effects were irritation of the eye and nose (ECETOC TR95 vol. II (2005)), but effects at the upper limit of the guidance value range (20 mg/L) are unknown due to no data, so the classification is not possible. Furthermore, because of no data on dermal administration, it was classified as "Classification not possible" for specific target organ toxicity (single exposure). | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | In a 28-day repeated inhalation exposure test with rats (vapour: 6 hours/day, 5 days/week: OECD TG412, GLP), the only effect was a reduced response to external stimuli observed at or above 292 ppm (converted guidance value: 0.551 mg/L), but there was no evidence of toxicity at necropsy and histopathological examination at the end of the test, and no adverse effects were shown even at 1,176 ppm (converted guidance value: 2.24 mg/L) above the guidance value range (ECETOC TR95 vol. II (2005)). Therefore, it corresponds to "Not classified" in the inhalation route, but effects in the other routes (oral, dermal) are unknown due to no data, so it was classified as "Classification not possible" for specific target organ toxicity (repeated exposure). | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |

11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment Short term (Acute) | Not classified |
- |
- | - | It was classified as "Not classified" because toxicity values are > 100 mg/L for both crustacea and fish (IUCLID, 2000). | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment Long term (Chronic) | Not classified |
- |
- | - | Reliable chronic toxicity data were not obtained. It was classified as "Not classified" because it is not water-insoluble (water solubility: 95000 mg/L, NITE, 2012), and it corresponds to "Not classified" in acute toxicity for crustacea and fish (IUCLID, 2000). | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
12 | Hazardous to the ozone layer | Classification not possible |
