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)	Not classified	- -	-	-	Based on its rat LD50 of approximately 3500 mg/kg bw (OECD Guidelines 401) (IUCLID (2000)), the substance was classified into the "Not classified" category using the JIS classification criteria (Category 5 in the United Nations classification).	FY2008	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （Sep, 2008）
1	Acute toxicity (Dermal)	Not classified	- -	-	-	Based on its rat LD50 of approximately 3200 mg/kg bw (IUCLID (2000)) and LD0 of approximately 3500 mg/kg bw (IUCLID (2000)), the substance was classified into the "Not classified" category using the JIS classification criteria (Category 5 in the United Nations classification).	FY2008	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （Sep, 2008）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases)	Not classified (Not applicable)	- -	-	-	Liquid (GHS definition)	FY2008	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （Sep, 2008）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Its LC50 for rats is approximately 14 mg/L/4h (IUCLID (2000)) and its LC50 for mice or guinea pigs is 15 mg/L/6h (IUCLID (2000)). Its saturated vapour concentration is 2.54-25.4 mg/L. Since we cannot determine if these studies were conducted as vapour exposure or mist administration exposure, classification is not possible. However, if the tests were conducted in a vapour state, its class is Category 4 and if in a mist state, its class is "Not classified".	FY2008	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （Sep, 2008）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Its LC50 for rats is approximately 14 mg/L/4h (IUCLID (2000)) and its LC50 for mice or guinea pigs is 15 mg/L/6h (IUCLID (2000)). Its saturated vapour concentration is 2.54-25.4 mg/L. Since we cannot determine if these studies were conducted as vapour exposure or mist administration exposure, classification is not possible. However, if the tests were conducted in a vapour,state its class is Category 4 and if in a mist state, its class is "Not classified".	FY2008	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （Sep, 2008）
2	Skin corrosion/irritation	Not classified	- -	-	-	Based on the information that the substance is not irritating in rabbits (IUCLID (2000)) and in humans (IUCLID (2000)), it was classified into "Not classified".	FY2008	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （Sep, 2008）
3	Serious eye damage/eye irritation	Not classified	- -	-	-	Based on the information that the substance is not eye irritant in rabbits (IUCLID (2000)), it was classified into "Not classified".	FY2008	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （Sep, 2008）
4	Respiratory sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.	FY2008	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （Sep, 2008）
4	Skin sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Maximization tests using guinea pigs found that the substance is not skin sensitizing (IUCLID (2000)). Likewise, human patch tests also found it is not skin sensitizing (IUCLID (2000)). These negative results indicate the placement of the substance into "Not classified". However, since these results were obtained using List 2 datasets, the substance was classified into "Classification not possible".	FY2008	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （Sep, 2008）
5	Germ cell mutagenicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Although in vivo cytogenetical tests (IUCLID (2000)) have been documented, no results were provided and classification cannot be carried out. Regarding in vitro mutagenicity tests, negative results were obtained in both Ames tests and CHO/HGPRT tests (IUCLID (2000)).	FY2008	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （Sep, 2008）
6	Carcinogenicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Insufficient data available. It is rated as R45 in Category 2 in the EU classification.	FY2008	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （Sep, 2008）
7	Reproductive toxicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Insufficient data available. Although, three-generation inhalation administration tests or inhalation administration tests conducted during the organogenetic period have been documented, details such as the presence or absence of the effects were not provided. Furthermore, consistency between datasets cannot be checked.	FY2008	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （Sep, 2008）
8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.	FY2008	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （Sep, 2008）
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Insufficient data available. 12-month, repeated inhalation exposure tests using rats found that NOAEL is approximately 2 mg/L (IUCLID (2000)), which is above the guidance values. However, the study was conducted using female rats only and test details cannot be verified.	FY2008	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （Sep, 2008）
10	Aspiration hazard	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available. Since the main ingredient of this substance is hydrocarbon and its kinematic viscosity value, as estimated from its range of boiling point, may be within the guidance values, the substance is likely to fall under the category of aspiration hazard.

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.
