Danger |
H330 | P304+P340 P403+P233 P260 P271 P284 P310 P320 P405 P501 |
It was classified in Category 2 based on a report on an LC50 value (4 hours) of 878 mg/m3 (= 159 ppmV) for rats (SIDS (2005)). Besides, because the LC50 value is lower than 90% of the saturated vapour pressure concentration (146,100 ppmV), and it is described as a test with vapour, a reference value in the unit of ppmV was applied as a vapour with little mist. | FY2013 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0)) |

It is described in SIDS (2005) that it can be concluded that this substance is corrosive to the skin based on the chemical nature of the substance itself and based on information on its hydrolysis products. Furthermore, this substance is classified "C; R34" in EU DSD classification and "Skin Corr. 1B H314" in EU CLP classification. Based on the above information, it was classified in Category 1. | FY2013 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0)) |
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 1 |
Danger |
H318 | P305+P351+P338 P280 P310 |
It is described in SIDS (2005) that it can be concluded that this substance is corrosive to the eyes based on the chemical nature of the substance itself and based on information regarding its hydrolysis products. Furthermore, it is described in HSDB (Access on October 2013) that the vapour of this substance is extremely irritating to the eyes. Based on the above information, it was classified in Category 1. | FY2013 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0)) |

5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | It was classified as "Classification not possible" because it was not possible to classify a substance as "Not classified" according to the revised GHS classification guidance for the Japanese government. There are no in vivo data on this substance. As for in vitro, it was negative in a bacterial reverse mutation test, and there are no other in vitro data. This substance generates hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid by hydrolysis. A drop in pH is known to cause chromosomal aberrations and DNA damage. This substance enters the body and hydrolyzes to form acids, which decrease pH and may cause cytotoxicity and irritation/corrosion, and chromosomal aberrations and DNA damage at the local site of exposure. However, it is unlikely that systemic changes in pH would occur that are sufficient in magnitude to induce this effect in tissues or organs which are distant from the site exposed to this substance (SIDS (2005)). Furthermore, at low and non-irritating concentrations, chloride anion and sulfate anion are not mutagenic. From the above, although in vivo and in vitro test data are lacking, it does not prevent this substance from being assessed to be not genotoxic from the viewpoint of the chemical nature of the substance mentioned above (SIDS (2005)). | FY2013 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0)) |
6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | There are no carcinogenicity test data on this substance (SIDS (2005)). Besides, hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid, the hydrolysis products of this substance, gave no clear indications for an increased tumor incidence in experimental animals by lifetime exposure (SIDS (2005)). On the other hand, as for humans, epidemiological studies suggested a relationship between exposure to strong inorganic acid mists containing sulfuric acid and an increased incidence of laryngeal cancer. It is concluded in IARC (1992) that occupational exposure to strong-inorganic-acid mists containing sulfuric acid is carcinogenic to humans (Group 1). Because there is no carcinogenicity information directly related to this substance, it was classified as "Classification not possible." | FY2013 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0)) |

8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 1 (respiratory organs) |
Danger |
H370 | P308+P311 P260 P264 P270 P321 P405 P501 |
In humans, irritation of the respiratory tract and pulmonary edema are reported after exposure to this substance (SIDS (2005)). Furthermore, in a test with rats exposed to the vapour of this substance by inhalation, reddish exudates from the nose, reduced body weights, etc. are reported within the range for Category 1 (0.04-1.5 mg/L). From the above results, it was classified in Category 1 (respiratory organs). | FY2013 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0)) |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 1 (respiratory organs) |
Danger |
H372 | P260 P264 P270 P314 P501 |
In a test with rats exposed to the vapour of this substance for 14 days by inhalation, death (males 2/10 animals), necrotic bronchopneumonia, purulent rhinitis, and atrophy in the thymus were observed at the concentration (110 mg/m3 (converted guidance value: 0.012 mg/L/6 hours/day)) within the guidance value range for Category 1 (SIDS (2005), IUCLID (2000), HSDB (Access on October 2013)). Death and atrophy in the thymus were thought to be caused by severe effects on the respiratory organs, and it was classified in Category 1 (respiratory organs). | FY2013 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0)) |
