Besides, no signs of dermal irritation are described in a test with rabbits (EU-RAR (2005)), but application time, etc, are unknown.	FY2013	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0))
3	Serious eye damage/eye irritation	Not classified	- -	-	-	It is described in EU-RAR (2005) that in a test with rabbits according to OECD TG 405, there was no irritation to rabbit eyes. It was classified as "Not classified" based on the above information.	FY2013	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0))
4	Respiratory sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Classification not possible due to lack of data.	FY2013	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0))
4	Skin sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Classification not possible due to lack of data. Besides, it is described in EU-RAR (2005) that it was weakly positive in a maximization test with guinea pigs (OECD TG 406). Furthermore, it is reported that in two maximization tests with volunteers, no sensitization was observed with a 3.2% solution.	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. As for in vivo, a negative result is reported in a micronucleus test with mice (EU-RAR (2005)). As for in vitro, it was negative in a bacterial reverse mutation test, a mouse lymphoma test with cultured mammalian cells, and a micronucleus test with cultured human-derived cells (EU-RAR (2005), HSDB (Access on October 2013), NTP DB (Access on October 2013)), and there was an equivocal result in a chromosomal aberration test with cultured mammalian cells (EU-RAR (2005), HSDB (Access on October 2013)).	FY2013	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0))
6	Carcinogenicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	There are no carcinogenicity data. It is classified in "Carc. Cat 3; R40" in EU DSD classification and "Carc.2 H351" in EU CLP classification, but the information used could not be obtained. Therefore, it was classified as "Classification not possible."	FY2013	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0))
7	Reproductive toxicity	Category 2	Warning	H361	P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501	In a developmental toxicity test with rats in the oral route (gavage), developmental toxicity (increased post-implantation resorptions, reduced fetal body weight) was observed at the dose where maternal toxicity (weight gain reduction, food consumption reduction) occurred (EU-RAR (2005)). No information on the effects on fertility was obtained. Therefore, it was classified in Category 2.	FY2013	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0))
8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Category 3 (Narcotic effects)	Warning	H336	P304+P340 P403+P233 P261 P271 P312 P405 P501	It was classified in Category 3 (narcotic effects) because hyperexcitability, depression, coma, etc. were observed in rats after gavage administration at doses (2,500-10,000 mg/kg) above the guidance value range.	FY2013	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0))
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	It is described that in a 90-day dermal exposure test with rats, weight gain reduction was observed in females at the dose (75 mg/kg/day) within the guidance value range for Category 2 (EU-RAR (2005), HSDB (Access on October 2013)), but it was not adopted as the rationale for classification because it is slight (about 10%) and a change only in one sex. Besides, in the test, anemia findings and increased liver weight were found in males and females at the dose (240 mg/kg/day) above the guidance value for Category 2 (EU-RAR (2005), HSDB (Access on October 2013)). From the above, it corresponds to "Not classified" in the dermal route. However, because there is no toxicity information on the other routes, it was classified as "Classification not possible" due to lack of data.	FY2013	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0))
10	Aspiration hazard	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Classification not possible due to lack of data.	FY2013	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0))
