1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Not classified |
- |
- | - | It was classified as "Not classified" based on LD50 for rats of 4,384 mg/kg (EPA Pesticides (1995)), 4,396 mg/kg (EHC 103 (1990)), 4,710 mg/kg (EHC 103 (1990), PATTY (6th, 2012), SIDS (2002)), 5,000 mg/kg (Environmental Risk Assessment for Chemical Substances vol. 6 (Ministry of the Environment, 2008)), 5,045 mg/kg (Environmental Risk Assessment for Chemical Substances vol. 6 (Ministry of the Environment, 2008)), 5,280 mg/kg (EHC 103 (1990), SIDS (2002)), 5,300 mg/kg (PATTY (6th, 2012)), 5,480 mg/kg (EHC 103 (1990), PATTY (6th, 2012)), 5,500 mg/kg (EHC 103 (1990), SIDS (2002)), and 5,840 mg/kg (PATTY (6th, 2012), SIDS (2002)). By adding the information in EPA Pesticides (1995), PATTY (6th, 2012), Environmental Risk Assessment for Chemical Substances vol. 6 (Ministry of the Environment, 2008) obtained in this investigation, the classification was changed from Category 5 to "Not classified" according to the Classification JIS. |

1 | Acute toxicity (Dermal) | Not classified |
- |
- | - | It was classified as "Not classified" based on LD50 of 12,870 mg/kg for rabbits (EHC 103 (1990), PATTY (6th, 2012), SIDS (2002)). Besides, because the precedence of literature was changed, data in PATTY (6th, 2012) obtained in this investigation were used for the rationale. | FY2013 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0)) |

1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) | Not classified |
- |
- | - | It was classified as "Not classified" based on LC50 (4 hours) for rats of 68.5 mg/L (27,908 ppmV) (EPA Pesticides (1995)) and 72.6 mg/L (29,512 ppmV) (EHC 103 (1990), SIDS (2002)). Besides, because the LC50 values were lower than 90% of the saturated vapour pressure concentration (53,762 ppmV (25 deg C)), a reference value in the unit of ppmV as a vapour without mist was applied for the classification. Besides, data in EPA Pesticides (1995) obtained in this investigation were used for the rationale. Data from reliable information sources obtained in this investigation were used. | FY2013 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0)) |

2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Not classified |
- |
- | - | It is reported in EHC 103 (1990), PATTY (6th, 2012), ECETOC TR66 (1995) that there was no or slight irritation in skin irritation tests with rabbits, but it is reported in EHC 103 (1990) that no irritation was shown in humans in skin application tests in volunteers or for the treatment of alcoholics, therefore it was thought to be minimally or slightly irritating. Therefore, it was classified as "Not classified" (Category 3 in UN GHS classification) in JIS classification. | FY2013 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0)) |

5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data. As for in vivo, negative results are reported in a micronucleus test with mouse bone marrow cells (SIDS (2002)) and a chromosomal aberration test with rat bone marrow cells (EHC 103 (1990)), which are somatic cell mutagenicity tests. As for in vitro, there are no data in a chromosomal aberration test, and it was negative in a bacterial reverse mutation test (SIDS (2002), EHC 103 (1990)) and an hgprt gene mutation test with cultured mammalian cells (SIDS (2002)). Besides, it is described in IARC 71 (1999), Environmental Risk Assessment for Chemical Substances vol. 6 (Ministry of the Environment, 2008) that it is not mutagenic. The category was changed according to the revised GHS classification guidance for the Japanese government. | FY2013 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0)) |
6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | It was classified as "Classification not possible" because it is classified in Group 3 in IARC 71 (1999) and A4 in ACGIH (7th, 2001). The category was changed according to the revised GHS classification guidance for the Japanese government. | FY2013 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0)) |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Category 2 |
Warning |
H361 | P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501 |
It is described that no reproductive or developmental toxicity was observed in a two-generation test with rats by oral administration (IARC 71 (1999), EHC 103 (1990)), but the details of the data are unknown. It is described that in a relatively new two-generation test with rats by oral administration, reduced mating index in paternal animals and lower values of body weights and increased mortality in offspring after birth were found at the dose where parent animals showed general toxicity effects (increased weights of the liver and kidney accompanied by histological changes) (PATTY (6th, 2012), SIDS (2002)). It is difficult to consider reduced mating index in paternal animals and adverse effects in neonates to be secondary/non-specific effects of general toxicity in parent animals. Furthermore, in a developmental toxicity test in which pregnant rats were orally administered, only slight effects (lower values of body weights, skeletal variations) were seen in fetuses, and there were no malformations, but reproductive toxicity effects such as failure of implantation and fully resorbed litters were observed at the dose where maternal toxicity (unsteady gait, narcotization, decreased food consumption and body weight gain) was found (PATTY (6th, 2012)). As a result, it was classified in Category 2 according to the GHS classification guidance for the Japanese government. | FY2013 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0)) |

From descriptions in SIDS (2002), EHC 103 (1990), Environmental Risk Assessment for Chemical Substances vol. 6 (Ministry of the Environment, 2008), acute poisoning symptoms of this substance in humans include central nervous system depression (lethargy, coma, respiratory depression, etc.), irritation of the gastrointestinal tract (nausea, vomiting), effects on the circulatory system such as hypotension, hypothermia, and arrhythmia, and adverse effects occur in the whole body. And inhalation exposure irritates the nose and throat (cough, pharyngeal pain) (EHC 103 (1990), Environmental Risk Assessment for Chemical Substances vol. 6 (Ministry of the Environment, 2008)), therefore it is irritating to the respiratory tract. From the above, it was classified in Category 1 (central nervous system, systemic toxicity), Category 3 (respiratory tract irritation). Besides, Category 1 (kidney) was adopted in the previous classification, but data for the rationale is a case report in humans from the information source in List 3, and its source was old, which was not adopted in multiple information sources in List 1 and 2. Therefore, the kidney was judged to be inappropriate as the target organ and was removed. | FY2013 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0)) |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 1 (blood system), Category 2 (respiratory organs, liver, spleen) |
Danger Warning |
H372 H373 |
P260 P264 P270 P314 P501 |
It is described that in a 4-month inhalation test with rats exposed to the vapour of this substance, a decrease in the white blood cell count was observed at or above 100 mg/m3 (converted guidance value concentration: 0.067 mg/L/6 hours), and pathological effects were found in the respiratory organs (lung, bronchus), liver, and spleen in the group of 500 mg/m3 (converted guidance value concentration: 0.33 mg/L/6 hours) (EHC 103 (1990)). Therefore, the target organs were judged to be the blood system, respiratory system, liver, and spleen, Category 1 was given to the blood, and Category 2 was assigned for the respiratory system, liver, and spleen. Besides, in animal tests in the inhalation or oral route, narcotic effects and effects on the blood system were seen at the doses above guidance values for Category 2 (SIDS (2002), PATTY (6th, 2012)). | FY2013 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0)) |

11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment Short term (Acute) | Not classified |
- |
- | - | It was classified as "Not classified" from 72-hour ErC50 > 1000 mg/L for algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata), 48-hour EC50 > 1000 mg/L for crustacea (Daphnia magna), and 96-hour LC50 > 100 mg/L for fish (Oryzias latipes) (all from Results of Aquatic Toxicity Tests of Chemicals conducted by Environment Agency in Japan (Environment Agency, 1997)). | FY2013 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0)) |
11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment Long term (Chronic) | Not classified |
- |
- | - | If chronic toxicity data are used, then it is classified as "Not classified" due to rapid degradability (a degradation rate by BOD: 86% (Biodegradation and Bioconcentration Results of Existing Chemical Substances under the Chemical Substances Control Law, 1993)), and 21-day NOEC > 100 mg/L for crustacea (Daphnia magna) (Results of Aquatic Toxicity Tests of Chemicals conducted by Environment Agency in Japan (Environment Agency) (1997), Environmental Risk Assessment for Chemical Substances Vol. 6 (Ministry of the Environment, 2008)). If acute toxicity data are used for a trophic level for which chronic toxicity data are not obtained, then it is classified as "Not classified" because it was classified as "Not classified" in acute toxicity, and it is not water-insoluble (In water, infinitely soluble at 25 deg C, HSDB, 2013). From the above results, it was classified as "Not classified." |
