2	Skin corrosion/irritation	Not classified	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] It was classified as "Not classified" from (1). [Evidence Data] (1) There was no report of a primary skin irritation test with rabbits, but as a result of a 21-day subacute dermal toxicity test with rabbits, this substance (purity 80.0%) was judged as not a skin irritant (EPA Pesticides RED (1998)).	FY2020	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2019 revised edition (Ver. 2.0))
3	Serious eye damage/eye irritation	Category 2B	- Warning	H320	P305+P351+P338 P337+P313 P264	[Rationale for the Classification] It was classified in Category 2B from (1) in accordance with the GHS classification guidance for the Japanese government.

FY2020	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2019 revised edition (Ver. 2.0))
5	Germ cell mutagenicity	Not classified	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1) to (4), it was classified as "Not classified." [Evidence Data] (1) In a chromosomal aberration test with the bone marrow cells of rats (dosed once by gavage, up to 500 mg/kg), negative results were reported (EPA Pesticides RED (1998), Japan Crop Protection Association (1991)). (2) In a bacterial reverse mutation test, negative results were reported (Japan Crop Protection Association (1991), Patty (6th, 2012)).

6	Carcinogenicity	Not classified	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1) to (3), it was classified as "Not classified." [Evidence Data] (1) As for the classification results by domestic and international organizations, EPA classified this substance in Group E (Evidence of Non-Carcinogenicity for Humans) (EPA Annual Cancer Report 2018 (Accessed Sep. 2020): Classification in 1994). (2) In a two-year chronic toxicity study with rats dosed by feeding, no carcinogenicity was observed at doses up to 7,500 ppm (EPA Pesticides RED (1989), Patty (6th, 2012)). (3) In a two-year combined chronic toxicity/carcinogenicity study with mice dosed by feeding, an increased incidence of lung neoplasms (adenomas and adenocarcinomas) was observed at or above the lowest dose of 50 ppm. However, the increased incidence was not dose-related and it was within the background data (EPA Pesticides RED (1989), Japan Crop Protection Association (1991), Patty (6th, 2012)).	FY2020	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2019 revised edition (Ver. 2.0))
7	Reproductive toxicity	Category 2	Warning	H361	P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501	[Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1), it was classified in Category 2. [Evidence Data] (1) It was reported that in a developmental toxicity study with rats dosed by feeding, at 1,250 ppm, reduced body weight gain was observed in parental animals and a decreased number of live fetuses/liter (due to pre- and post-implantation losses of embryos/fetuses) was observed in pups (EPA Pesticides RED (1989), Japan Crop Protection Association (1991)). [Reference Data, etc.] (2) It was reported that in a three-generation reproduction toxicity study with rats dosed by feeding, no reproductive toxicity was observed (EPA Pesticides RED (1989)). (3) It was reported that in a developmental toxicity study with rabbits dosed by gavage, at 600 mg/kg/day, which was the lethal dosage of parental animals (in 18 rabbits, five died and two were sacrificed in extremis), lower body weight and delayed ossification of live fetuses were observed in pups (EPA Pesticides RED (1989), Japan Crop Protection Association (1991)).	FY2020	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2019 revised edition (Ver. 2.0))
8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1) and (2), it was considered to be classified as "Not classified" in the oral and dermal routes, while based on (3), no category could be identified in the inhalation route. Therefore, classification was not possible due to lack of data. [Evidence Data] (1) It was reported that in an acute oral toxicity test with rats, no toxic symptoms were observed and LD50 was > 5,000 mg/kg (EPA Pesticides RED (1989), HSDB (Accessed Sep. 2020)). (2) It was reported that in an acute dermal toxicity test with rabbits, no toxic symptoms were observed and LD50 was > 5,000 mg/kg (EPA Pesticides RED (1989), Patty (2012), HSDB (Accessed Sep. 2020)). (3) It was reported that in an acute (dust) inhalation toxicity test with rats, no toxic symptoms were observed and LD50 was > 4.4 mg/L (EPA Pesticides RED (1989)).	FY2020	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2019 revised edition (Ver. 2.0))
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1) to (4), it was considered to be classified as "Not classified" in the oral route, but there was no information on toxicity in the dermal and inhalation routes. Therefore, classification was not possible due to lack of data. [Evidence Data] (1) It was reported that in a 90-day oral toxicity test with rats dosed by feeding, liver effects (increases in absolute and relative weight, vacuolation and hypertrophy of hepatocytes) were observed at 5000 ppm (25 mg/kg/day, in the range corresponding to "Not classified") (EPA Pesticides RED (1989), Patty (2012), HSDB (Accessed Sep. 2020)). (2) It was reported that in a two-year chronic toxicity study with dogs dosed by feeding, an increase in relative thyroid weight, a slight increase in liver weight, and an increase in ALP were observed at 250 ppm (6.25 mg/kg/day, within the range for Category 1) (EPA Pesticides RED (1989), Patty (2012), HSDB (Accessed Sep. 2020), IRIS (1987)). (3) It was reported that in a two-year combined chronic toxicity/carcinogenicity study with rats dosed by feeding, an increase in relative liver weight and slight centrilobular hepatocyte hypertrophy were observed at 1,500 ppm (58 mg/kg/day (males), 83 mg/kg/day (females), within the range for Category 2); and centrilobular hepatocyte hypertrophy with fatty changes and an increase in biliary hyperplasia were observed at 7,500 ppm (308 mg/kg/day (males), 484 mg/kg/day (females), in the range corresponding to "Not classified") (EPA Pesticides RED (1989)). (4) It was reported that in a two-year combined chronic toxicity/carcinogenicity study with mice dosed by feeding, an increase in liver weight and hepatocellular hypertrophy were observed at 1,250 ppm (187.5 mg/kg/day, in the range corresponding to "Not classified") (Patty (2012), HSDB (Accessed Sep. 2020)).

11	Hazardous to the aquatic environment Short term (Acute)	Category 1	Warning	H400	P273 P391 P501	It was classified in Category 1 from 14-day EC50 = 0.14 mg/L for aquatic plants (Lemna gibba) (EPA RED, 1998).	FY2020	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2019 revised edition (Ver. 2.0))
11	Hazardous to the aquatic environment Long term (Chronic)	Category 1	Warning	H410	P273 P391 P501	If chronic toxicity data are used, then it is classified in Category 1 because it is not rapidly degradable (BIOWIN) and due to 14-day NOEC = 0.065 mg/L for aquatic plants (Lemna gibba) (EPA RED, 1998). If acute toxicity data are used for a trophic level for which chronic toxicity data are not obtained, then it is classified in Category 3 because it is not rapidly degradable (BIOWIN) and due to 96-hour LC50 = 56.4 mg/L for crustacea (Palaemonetes vulgaris) (EPA RED, 1998). By drawing a comparison between the above results, it was classified in Category 1.	FY2020	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2019 revised edition (Ver. 2.0))
