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	- -	-	-	Although there is the data of rat which LD>1g/kg (RTECS (2004)), it is an estimate in LD. Since there is no other data, and data is insufficient, it cannot be classified.	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	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
3	Serious eye damage/eye irritation	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）

4	Skin sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
5	Germ cell mutagenicity	Category 2	Warning	H341	P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501	There is no this product data. But it is supposed that a lead (inorganic lead compound) induces human chromosome aberration in ATSDR (draft, 2005), and it is classified with 3A as inorganic lead compounds in MAK/BAT (2004). So it is set as Category 2.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
6	Carcinogenicity	Category 1B	Danger	H350	P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501	IARC87 (2004) is equivalent to Category 1B (Group 2A) as a lead compounds, NTP RoC (11th, 2005) is equivalent to Category 1B-2 (Reasonably anticipated to be human carcinogens), IRIS (1993), ACGIH-TLV (2004), and industrial hygene academic recommendation (2004) were equivalent to Category 2 (respectively B-2, A3, 2B). In view of safety, it was considered as Category 1B according to Group 2A of IARC87 (2004).	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
7	Reproductive toxicity	Category 1A	Danger	H360	P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501	Although there is no data of this product, in ACGIH-TLV (2004) of Priority 1 document, ATSDR (draft, 2005), etc., it is supposed that reproductive toxicity is indicated to humans in the lead (inorganic lead compound). This product is water solubles, and blood levels might become high by exposure. And it was considered as Category 1A according to expert opinion.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Although there are reports of effects on the central nervous system in HSFS (1999), there are no supporting data, so the substance cannot be classified due to insufficient data.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Category 1 (central nervous system, blood, kidney)	Danger	H372	P260 P264 P270 P314 P501	In ACGIH-TLV (2004; Priority 1 document), it is supposed that it has effect on the central nervous system, blood, and the kidney in repeated exposure of lead and inorganic lead compounds. Since there was the similar description in HSFS (1999; Priority 2 document), we classified it into Category 1 (the central nervous system, blood, kidney).	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
10	Aspiration hazard	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）

NOTE:

GHS Classification Result by the Japanese Government is intended to provide a reference for preparing a GHS label or SDS for users. To include the same classification result in a label or SDS for Japan is NOT mandatory.
Users can cite or copy this classification result when preparing a GHS label or SDS. Please be aware, however, that the responsibility for a label or SDS prepared by citing or copying this classification result lies with users.
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.
