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)	-	- Warning	-	-	Category 5 based on SPECIES: Rat; ENDPOINT: LD50;VALUE:3900 mg/kg; REFERENCE SOURCE: ACGIH (7th, 2001)	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
1	Acute toxicity (Dermal)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases)	Not classified (Not applicable)	- -	-	-	Solid (GHS definition)	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
2	Skin corrosion/irritation	Category 3	- Warning	-	-	Animal studies show no skin irritation (ACGIH (7th, 2001), HSDB (2005)) or slight reaction with repeated administration (HSDB (2005), TOXCENTER (2005)). There are statements that there was no skin irritation (HSDB (2005), HSFS (2001)) and that skin is irritated (ACGIH (7th, 2001), HSDB (2005)) on humans. Based on the above information, skin irritativeness was thought to be weak, and it was classified as Category 3.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
3	Serious eye damage/eye irritation	Category 2A	Warning	H319	P305+P351+P338 P337+P313 P264 P280	It was set as Category 2A-2B based on the statement that redness, pain and irritation were produced in an eye of humans (HSDB (2005), ICSC (2004), HSFS (2001)).	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
4	Respiratory sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
4	Skin sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
5	Germ cell mutagenicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	We found a negative result by in vitro mutagenicity examination (reverse mutation test using bacteria) (TOXCENTER (2005)), however, we found no in vivo data, therefore we could not classify it for the insufficiecy of data.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
6	Carcinogenicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
7	Reproductive toxicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Since although there is a description that in 3 generation reproduction toxicity test, it is not observed reproduction toxicity at dose below 25mg/kg/day (converted from the concentration of 500 ppm in feeding administration) (IRIS (2002)) and there is no toxicity in histopathological and at indexies of reproduction and lactation with dose below 25mg/kg/day (TOXCENTER (2005)), a possibility of reproductive toxicity in the feeding administration of higher concentrations than 500 ppm cannot be denied, it was deemed unable to be classified since data was insufficient.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Category 3 (respiratory tract irritation, narcotic effects)	Warning	H335 H336	P304+P340 P403+P233 P261 P271 P312 P405 P501	It was set as Category 3 (respiratory irritation, anesthesia action) based on the statement that there is respiratory irritation in humans (HSFS (2001), HSDB (2005)), and the statement of the anesthesia action in a mouse (RTECS (2005)).	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Not classified	- -	-	-	Since in the rats oral administrations test, toxic effects was not admitted over 250 mg/kg/day or the upper limit of the guidance value range of Cagegory 2 (10-100 mg/kg/day) (ACGIH (7th, 2001), HSDB (2005)), it was classified to as the outside of Category.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
10	Aspiration hazard	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available	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.
