1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Category 4 |
Warning |
H302 | P301+P312 P264 P270 P330 P501 |
Based on the mouse LD50 value of 887 mg/kg bw (RTECS (2006), original literature: TOERD9 Toxicological European Research.1, 23, (1978)), the substance was classified as Category 4. | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
1 | Acute toxicity (Dermal) | Classification not possible |

- | - | No data available. | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | The classification was not possible due to insufficient data available. As relevant notes, it was reported that the acute symptom (pain and itching of the skin) was complained by workers of the automotive maintenance shop who were exposed to the powder of the substance for about 30 minutes. The symptom disappeared in 63% of workers within 4 hours and for all within 24 hours. The symptom was transit irritation, and no aftereffect was noted (HSDB (2002), The EFSA Journal 263 (2005)). Based on the documents, the substance was considered to have skin irritation, but there was not sufficient information for the classification. | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | The classification was not possible due to insufficient data available. As relevant notes, it was reported that the acute symptoms (burning of the eyes and excessive lacrimation) were complained by workers of the automotive maintenance shop who were exposed to the powder of the substance for about 30 minutes. The symptoms disappeared in 63% of workers within 4 hours and for all within 24 hours. Symptoms were transit irritation, and no aftereffect was noted (HSDB (2002), The EFSA Journal 263 (2005)). Based on the documents, the substance was considered to have eye irritation, but there was not sufficient information for the classification. | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |

- | - | No data available. | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | The classification was not possible due to lack of in vivo test data. As relevant information, as for in vitro studies, negative and positive results in the Ames test, positive results in the chromosome aberration test using fibroblast cells from muntjac were reported. However, the positive results of the Ames test were reported to be caused by the impurities (The EFSA Journal 263 (2005)). | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | The classification was concluded as "Classification not possible" based on the criterion of "Group 3" in the carcinogenicity assessment by the IARC (IARC 16 (1978). As relevant information, in the long-term (approximately 2-year) oral and dermal administration studies in rats and mice, no evidence of carcinogenicity of the substance was reported (IARC 16 (1978)). | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | The classification was not possible due to lack of sufficient data. As relevant information, there were multiple reports that the teratogenicity was not observed in mouse, rat, rabbit, dog (HSDB (2002), Birth Defects, 3rd (2000), Teratogenic, 12th (2007)). However, the effects on sexual functions and fertility of parental animals were unknown. | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 3 (Respiratory tract irritation) |
Warning |
H335 | P304+P340 P403+P233 P261 P271 P312 P405 P501 |
It was reported that workers of automobile maintenance shop who were exposed to the powder of the substance for about 30 minutes complained about acute symptoms containing nasal burning, chest pain and/or constriction, cough, dyspnea, burning of the throat, or heartburn (HSDB (2002), The EFSA Journal 263 (2005)). Based on the information, the substance was classified as Category 3 (respiratory tract irritation). | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | In the 18-week feeding study in rats (dose levels: 0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0 or 2.0%: 100, 250, 500, 1000 mg/kg/day), liver damage was observed in the highest dose group (IARC 16 (1987)). The doses tested were those equivalent to "Not classified" category, so the classification was not possible from these data only. In conclusion, the substance was judged as "Classification not possible" due to lack of sufficient data. | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |

11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment Short term (Acute) | Category 3 |
- |
H402 | P273 P501 |
Classified into Category 3 from its 48h-LC50 = 22.9 mg/L for crustacea (Daphnia magna) (AQUIRE, 2011). | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment Long term (Chronic) | Category 3 |
- |
H412 | P273 P501 |
Classified into Category 3 since its acute toxicity is Category 3 and it is not rapidly degradable (Non-biodegradable, BOD degradation rate: 0% (Biodegradation and Bioconcentration of Existing Chemical Substances under the Chemical Substances Control Law, 1987)). | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
12 | Hazardous to the ozone layer | Classification not possible |
