8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Classification not possible due to lack of data. It was impossible to confirm the description in ACGIH-TLV (2006) that inorganic tin compounds are irritating to the respiratory tract, which is evidence of respiratory tract irritation in the previous classification. Therefore, the classification result was changed.	FY2019	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1))
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Category 1 (lung), Category 2 (liver, blood system)	Danger Warning	H372 H373	P260 P264 P270 P314 P501	[Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1) and (2), effects on human lungs may occur by inhalation exposure to metallic tin and inorganic tin compounds, and based on (3), effects on the liver and blood system were observed within the range of Category 2 by oral administration to rats, therefore, it was classified in Category 1 (lung), Category 2 (liver, blood system). [Evidence Data] (1) Inhalation exposure to the dust and fume of tin (oxide) is recognized to result in stannosis (mild pneumoconiosis) (ACGIH (7th, 2019)). (2) The ACGIH recommends Threshold Limit Values in the workplace (TLV-TWA of 2 mg/m3 as inhalable particulate matter) for elemental tin, tin oxides and tin inorganic compounds (excluding tin hydride and indium tin oxide) in order to prevent stannosis (ACGIH (7th, 2019)). (3) In a 4-week feeding study with rats, decreased hemoglobin and hematocrit, bile duct hyperplasia and homogenous hepatocyte cytoplasm were observed at or above 86 mg/kg/day (converted guidance value: 27 mg/kg/day, within the range of Category 2) (ATSDR (2005), CICAD 65 (2005), EHC 15 (1980), de Groot et al. (1973)).	FY2019	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1))
10	Aspiration hazard	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Classification not possible due to lack of data.	FY2019	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1))
