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)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
1	Acute toxicity (Dermal)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases)	Not classified (Not applicable)	- -	-	-	Solid (GHS definition)	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
2	Skin corrosion/irritation	Category 3	- Warning	-	-	There is no data of this product. But the water-soluble barium compounds are supposed to indicate skin irritation (ACGIH-TLV (2006)). Since there is description that each of barium (107 EHC (J), 1990) and cyanide (61 CICAD (J), 2004) indicate mild skin irritations, it was set to Category 3.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
3	Serious eye damage/eye irritation	Category 2A	Warning	H319	P305+P351+P338 P337+P313 P264 P280	There is no this product data. But in ACGIH-TLV (2006), the water-soluble barium compounds irritates to the eye. There are the descriptions that barium (107 EHC (J), 1990) shows severe eye irritation, cyanide (61 CICAD (J), 2004) shows slight eye irritation, and platinum compound (125 EHC (J), 1991) shows eye irritation. From the above information, it is difficult to be subdivide, and it was classified into Category 2A-2B.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
4	Respiratory sensitization	Category 1	Danger	H334	P304+P340 P342+P311 P261 P284 P501	Although there was no data for this substance, water-soluble platinum salt was classified as Category 1 according to Japan Society for Occupational Health advice (2005). Since platinum was indicated as the respiratory allergic substance by the Japanese Society of Occupational Allergy meeting, we classified it to be Category 1.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
4	Skin sensitization	Category 1	Warning	H317	P302+P352 P333+P313 P362+P364 P261 P272 P280 P321 P501	Although there is no data of this substance, water-soluble platinum salt is classified into 1 according to Association of Industrial Health (2005). Since platinum was used as the skin sensitization by the Japanese Society of Occupational Allergy, it was set to Category 1.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
5	Germ cell mutagenicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Without data. In addition, in CICAD (J)61 (2004) and PIM G003 (WHO/ICPS, 1997), it is supposed that there is no mutagenic in a cyanide.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
6	Carcinogenicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	There is no data about this product. A water-soluble barium compounds (ACGIH-TLV, 2006) are equivalent to out of Category (A4), but the carcinogenicity evaluation of platinum salts is not sufficient (EHC (J), 125, 1991). So it cannot be classified due to insufficient data.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
7	Reproductive toxicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	There is no this product data, and although the description that "cyanide induces adverse effect against development only by the given dose or concentration which has toxicity in dam clearly" exists in CICAD (J) 61(2004). Since data is insufficient, it cannot be classified.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Category 1 (cardiovascular system, respiratory system, central nervous system, skeletal muscle)	Danger	H370	P308+P311 P260 P264 P270 P321 P405 P501	There are no data for this substance. But the cardio-vascular system, respiratory system and central nervous system are listed as the target organs of the acute toxicity of the cyanide (CICAD (J), 61, 2004), and the cardio-vascular system and skeletal muscle as the target organs of the aqueous barium compound (possibly the effect of hypokalemia). The substance was classified as Category 1 (cardio-vascular system, respiratory system, central nervous system, skeletal muscle) because each source reference is a Priority 1 document.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Category 1 (central nervous system)	Danger	H372	P260 P264 P270 P314 P501	Although there was no data about this product, we classified it into Category 1(central nervous system) based on the description that repeated exposure of cyanide affects the central nervous systems (CICAD(J)61 (2004; Priority 1 document)).	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
10	Aspiration hazard	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）

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”.
