But based on the descriptions that it stimulated the eyes or it may have stimulated the eyes in ICSC (J) (2002), HSFS (2000), and SITTIG (4th, 2002), we classified it as Category 2A-2B.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
4	Respiratory sensitization	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）

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.
