2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Category 2 |
Warning |
H315 | P302+P352 P332+P313 P362+P364 P264 P280 P321 |
From description (ICSC, 2000;CICAD, 50, 2003 ;DFGOT [as inorganic mercury compounds], vol.15, 2001 [as inorganic mercury compounds]) that the possibility indicates humans skin irritation. It thought that there was irritation and was set as Category 2. | FY2006 | GHS Classification Manual (10 Feb, 2006) |
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 2B |
Warning |
H320 | P305+P351+P338 P337+P313 P264 |
It was classified into Category 2B due to the description that it irritates to the human eye (ICSC, 2000) . | FY2006 | GHS Classification Manual (10 Feb, 2006) |
4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | No data available | FY2006 | GHS Classification Manual (10 Feb, 2006) |

Warning |
H317 | P302+P352 P333+P313 P362+P364 P261 P272 P280 P321 P501 |
Since metallic mercury and inorganic mercury compound (as Hg) were made into those with skin sensitization (MAK/BAT, 2005; DFGOT, vol.15, 2001), they were set to category 1. | FY2006 | GHS Classification Manual (10 Feb, 2006) |
5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Category 2 |
Warning |
H341 | P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501 |
In ATSDR (1999), it estimated that mercury and mercury compounds induced chromosomal abnormality to the animal somatic cell in an in vivo. So they were set to Category 2. | FY2006 | GHS Classification Manual (10 Feb, 2006) |
6 | Carcinogenicity | Not classified |
- |
- | - | As inorganic mercury compounds, since it is categorized as IARC Group 3 (IARC, 58, 1993) and ACGIH A4 (ACGIH-TLV, 2004), it was out of the Category. | FY2006 | GHS Classification Manual (10 Feb, 2006) |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Category 2 |
Warning |
H361 | P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501 |
As mercury and mercury compounds or inorganic mercuries, the effect on generating (California EPA, Proposition 65 List of Chemicals, 2005) and reproductive (ACGIH-TLV, 2004) are descrived. And it was set as Category 2. | FY2006 | GHS Classification Manual (10 Feb, 2006) |
8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 1 (kidney), Category 3 (respiratory tract irritation) |
Danger Warning |
H370 H335 |

Since as description in the humans in Priority 1 document, target organ as inorganic mercury compounds is the kidney (DFGOT, vol.15, 2001), and respiratory irritant was described as description in the humans in Priority 2 document (ICSC, 2000), it was considered as Category 1 (kidney) and Category 3 (respiratory irritant). | FY2006 | GHS Classification Manual (10 Feb, 2006) |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 1 (central nervous system, kidney) |
Danger |
H372 | P260 P264 P270 P314 P501 |
Because of the description in Priority 1 document that it affects central nervous system and kidneys of human body as inorganic mercury compounds or calomel-containing laxatives (ACGIH-TLV, 2004; EHC, 118, 1991; CICAD, 50, 2003), and of suggestion in Priority 2 document that it affects nervous system and a kidney (ICSC, 2000), it was classified into Category 1 (central nervous system, kidney). | FY2006 | GHS Classification Manual (10 Feb, 2006) |
