6	Carcinogenicity	Not classified	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1) and (2), it was classified as "Not classified." In (2), an increase in a malignant tumor was not observed in male mice, and the possible effect of the administration was low. The evidence of carcinogenicity was not observed in male and female rats, and female mice. [Evidence Data] (1) In a 2-year combined chronic toxicity/carcinogenicity study with rats, no treatment-related increase in the incidence of neoplastic lesions was observed and no carcinogenicity was observed (Risk Assessment Report (Pesticides) (Food Safety Commission of Japan, 2009), A pesticide abstract and evaluation report (Food and Agricultural Materials Inspection Center, 2009), Japan Crop Protection Association (1991)). (2) In a 2-year combined chronic toxicity/carcinogenicity study with mice, a significant increase in the incidence frequency of hemangioendothelioma of the liver was observed in the male group at the maximum dose, but an increase of hemangiosarcoma, which was a malignant tumor, was not observed, therefore, the possibility of the effect of the administration of this substance was considered to be low (Risk Assessment Report (Pesticides) (Food Safety Commission of Japan, 2009), A pesticide abstract and evaluation report (Food and Agricultural Materials Inspection Center, 2009), Japan Crop Protection Association (1991)).	FY2020	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2019 revised edition (Ver. 2.0))
7	Reproductive toxicity	Not classified	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1) to (3), it was classified as "Not classified." [Evidence Data] (1) In a three-generation reproduction toxicity study with rats dosed by feeding (GLP), at 750 ppm, general toxic effects (an increase in water consumption, changes in the weight and tissues of the kidney and spleen, inhibition of body weight gain, etc.), and an extension of the gestation period (P and F1 female) were observed in parent animals, and a decrease in the number of newborns was observed in F1 offspring. It was reported that the decrease in the number of newborns that was observed in F1 offspring, was not observed in F2 offspring (Risk Assessment Report (Pesticides) (Food Safety Commission of Japan, 2009), A pesticide abstract and evaluation report (Food and Agricultural Materials Inspection Center, 2009), Japan Crop Protection Association (1991)). (2) It was reported that in a developmental toxicity study with rats dosed by gavage (GLP, days 6-15 of gestation), at 64 mg/kg/day, inhibition of body weight gain, a decrease in food consumption, an increase in water consumption, and hemorrhage in the uterus were observed in parent animals, and low body weight was observed in fetuses, but teratogenicity was not observed (Risk Assessment Report (Pesticides) (Food Safety Commission of Japan, 2009), A pesticide abstract and evaluation report (Food and Agricultural Materials Inspection Center, 2009), Japan Crop Protection Association (1991)). (3) It was reported that in a developmental toxicity study with rabbits dosed by gavage (GLP, days 6-19 of gestation), at 300 mg/kg/day, a low value of the fetus weight was observed in offspring, but teratogenicity was not observed (Risk Assessment Report (Pesticides) (Food Safety Commission of Japan, 2009), A pesticide abstract and evaluation report (Food and Agricultural Materials Inspection Center, 2009), Japan Crop Protection Association (1991)).

8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Category 3 (Respiratory tract irritation)	Warning	H335	P304+P340 P403+P233 P261 P271 P312 P405 P501	[Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1), the gastrointestinal tract was considered to be the target, but it was not considered to be the target organ because the symptoms were considered to be derived from mucosal irritation. Based on (2), shallow breathing and an increase in secretory responses were considered to be the effects of respiratory tract irritation, and it was classified in Category 3 (respiratory tract irritation). [Evidence Data] (1) In an acute oral toxicity test with rats, piloerection, diarrhea, loose stool, etc. were observed as symptoms in both males and females; and in females, anemia was observed, death occurred, and hemorrhage in the intestinal tract was observed by necropsy. It was reported that dead female animals were observed when the dose was 1,751 mg/kg or above (Risk Assessment Report (Pesticides) (Food Safety Commission of Japan, 2009)). (2) It was reported that in an acute inhalation (dust) toxicity test with rats (4 hours), at 1.5 mg/L (within the range for Category 2), death was not observed, and shallow breathing, inhibition of behavior, and an increase in secretory responses were observed (Risk Assessment Report (Pesticides) (Food Safety Commission of Japan, 2009)). [Reference Data, etc.] (3) It was reported that in an acute oral toxicity test with mice, at 1,000 to 5,000 mg/kg, neither death nor appearance of symptoms was observed (Risk Assessment Report (Pesticides) (Food Safety Commission of Japan, 2009)). (4) It was reported that in acute dermal toxicity tests with rats and mice, at 1,000 to 5,000 mg/kg, neither death nor appearance of symptoms was observed (Risk Assessment Report (Pesticides) (Food Safety Commission of Japan, 2009)).
