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 the rat LD50 (oral route) value of >5,000mg/kg (RTECS (2006) and IUCLID (2000)).	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
1	Acute toxicity (Dermal)	Not classified	- -	-	-	Based on the rat LD50 (dermal route) value of > 5,000mg/kg (RTECS (2006) and IUCLID (2000)).	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases)	Not classified (Not applicable)	- -	-	-	Due to the fact that the substance is a solid according to the GHS criteria and inhalation of its gas is not expected.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Insufficient data available	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Insufficient data available	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
2	Skin corrosion/irritation	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No evidence of irritation was observed in a rabbit skin irritation test (though the results are not those of 4 hour application) (IUCLID (2000)). Although the substance could be "Not classified" based solely on the results of the above study, "Classification not possible" should be appropriate since the study is assigned a priority rating of 2 and no other data are available to provide additional or supporting evidence.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
3	Serious eye damage/eye irritation	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No evidence of irritation was observed in a rabbit eye irritation test (IUCLID (2000)). Although the substance could be "Not classified" based solely on the results of the above study, "Classification not possible" should be appropriate since the study is assigned a priority rating of 2 and no other data are available to provide additional or supporting evidence.	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）
5	Germ cell mutagenicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Classification not possible due to the insufficiency of data (details are not available on the protocols of in vivo studies).	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
6	Carcinogenicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Classification not possible based on a judgment made by experts in the absence of existing classification, though IUCLID (2000) presents some toxicity data.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
7	Reproductive toxicity	Category 2	Warning	H361	P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501	Based on the evidence of adverse effects on offspring development (fetal death and muscle skeletal anomalies), described in IUCLID (2000) and RTECS (2006) (though no data are available regarding parental toxicity).	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Classification not possible due to the insufficiency of data.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）

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.
