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)	Category 4	Warning	H302	P301+P312 P264 P270 P330 P501	It was classified in Category 4 because the higher hazard category in two LD50 values [2250 mg/kg and 1042 mg/kg] (HSDB（2002）), which correspond to Category 4 and to "Not classified" in JIS classification, was adopted.	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
1	Acute toxicity (Dermal)	Category 3	Danger	H311	P302+P352 P361+P364 P280 P312 P321 P405 P501	On the basis of an LD50 value of 974 mg/kg bw for rats (HSDB (2002)), it was classified in Category 3.	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases)	Not classified (Not applicable)	- -	-	-	"Solids" according to GHS definition.	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	The classification is not possible because the category can not be determined only from data in which no mortality in 8-hour inhalation exposure to saturated vapour was reported (HSDB (2002)). Besides, an LC50 value is estimated at > 5.39 mg/L from 5.39 mg/L which is a converted concentration to a 4-hour equivalent in 8-hour exposure to the saturated vapour pressure concentration (3.81 mg/L).	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data.	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
2	Skin corrosion/irritation	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Due to lack of data, the classification is not possible, though a test which is not in accordance with the guideline reports that daily application (an unknown application period) of the test substance to the rabbit and guinea pig skins produced mild primary irritation in both animals (HSDB (2002)).	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
3	Serious eye damage/eye irritation	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Due to lack of data, the classification is not possible, though a test that is not in accordance with the guideline reports that 15-day application of 0.1 mL to rabbit and guinea pig eyes produced some irritation with erythema, from which both animals completely recovered in 7 to 14 days with no permanent corneal damage.	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
4	Respiratory sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data.	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
4	Skin sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Lack of data. The classification is not possible only from a result on a skin sensitization test which reports an indication of skin sensitization in 7 of 55 subjects (a positive rate: 12.7 % (7/55)) (HSDB (2002)).	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）

8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Lack of data. Besides, this substance affects a central nervous system, and HSDB says that the toxic clinical symptoms after administration to rats and mice were similar to CNS depressants (HSDB (2002)).	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data.	FY2011	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）

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.
