3	Serious eye damage/eye irritation	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Classification not possible due to lack of data.	FY2016	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1))
4	Respiratory sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Classification not possible due to lack of data.	FY2016	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1))
4	Skin sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Classification not possible due to lack of data.	FY2016	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1))
5	Germ cell mutagenicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	As for in vivo, a micronucleus test using mouse peripheral blood was negative (NTP TR583 (2015), HSDB (Access on June 2016)). As for in vitro, bacterial reverse mutation tests were positive (NTP TR583 (2015), HSDB (Access on June 2016)). From the above, it was classified as "Classification not possible" according to the GHS classification guidance for the Japanese Government.	FY2016	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1))
6	Carcinogenicity	Category 1B	Danger	H350	P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501	In 2-year carcinogenicity studies in rats and mice administered by drinking water, increased incidences of malignant mesothelioma and tumors in the oral cavity (oral mucosa and tongue), large intestine, brain, skin, and mammary gland were observed in rats. In mice, an increased incidence of tumors in the liver and Harderian gland was observed. From the above, it was concluded that there was clear evidence of carcinogenic activity in both sexes in rats and mice (NTP TR 583 (2015)). There are no classifications by other organizations, however, the substance was classified in Category 1B because tumors in multi-organs in two species of experimental animals had been observed.	FY2016	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1))
7	Reproductive toxicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Classification not possible due to lack of data.	FY2016	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1))
8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Classification not possible due to lack of data.	FY2016	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1))
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Category 2 (liver, reproductive organs (male), hematopoietic system)	Warning	H373	P260 P314 P501	There is no relevant information on humans. 　As for experimental animals, in a 104-week repeated dose toxicity study using rats given by drinking water, effects on the hematopoietic system (angiectasis and hyperplasia in the bone marrow, hematopoietic cell proliferation in the liver and spleen) were reported at 250 to 1000 mg/L (converted guidance value: 11 to 57 mg/kg/day), which is within the range of Category 2 (NTP TR 583 (2015)). Also in a 105-week repeated dose toxicity study using mice given by drinking water, effects on the liver (eosinophilic focus and atypical focus of cellular alteration (i.e., eosinophilic cell focus and mixed cell focus), effects on the testis (atrophy) and effects on the epididymis (atrophy, epithelium degeneration) were reported at 250 to 500 mg/L (converted guidance value: 17 to 52 mg/kg/day), which is equivalent to Category 2 (NTP TR 583 (2015)). Moreover, in a 14-week repeated dose toxicity study using rats given by drinking water, effects on the testis (decreased testis weight and sperm motility) were reported at 72 mg/kg/day, which is equivalent to Category 2 (NTP TR 583 (2015)). Therefore, the substance was classified in Category 2 (liver, genetic organs (men), hematopoietic system).

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.
