---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Not classified |
- |
- | - | It was classified as "Not classified" based on an LD50 value of > 5,000 mg/kg for rats (IARC 32 (1983)). | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |

2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | It is reported that it was not irritating in a test in which a 10% suspension of this substance in 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose was applied to the rabbit skin (Draize Test) (IUCLID (2000)), but it was insufficient because exposure time and application amount are unknown, and the application concentration (10%) was low. Therefore, it was classified as "Classification not possible" due to lack of data. | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | It is reported that it was not irritating in an eye irritation test with rabbits (Draize Test) (IUCLID (2000)), but application amount and application concentration are unknown. Therefore, it was classified as "Classification not possible" due to lack of data. | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | No data available. | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | No data available. | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | The classification is not possible due to no in vivo test data. Besides, as for in vitro tests, there is a report on a negative result in an Ames test (IARC 32 (1983), NTP DB (1990)). | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
6 | Carcinogenicity | Category 2 |
Warning |
H351 | P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501 |
It was classified in Category 2 because IARC classified it in Group 2B for carcinogenicity (Agents Classified by the IARC Monographs, Volumes 1–105 (2012)). Besides, in a 96-week diet administration test with mice, in the treated groups, there is a report on significant increases in the incidences of neoplastic nodules and hepatocellular carcinoma in the liver, the occurrence of papilloma in the forestomach, which was not observed in the control group, and a significant increase in the incidence of squamous cell carcinoma (in the high dose group) (IARC 32 (1983)). | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | In a combined repeated dose toxicity study with the reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test by oral administration to rats (OECD TG422, GLP), in the groups of 200 and 1,000 mg/kg, there were lower values in body weights or weight gain in males and females, no treatment-related effects were observed in reproductive parameters such as copulation index, fertility index, and delivery index in parent animals, and no treatment-related changes were found in parameters of the development of offspring such as the number of pups born, the number of live pups born, live birth index, and viability index on day 4 of lactation (Safety Test (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI, 2009)), corresponding to List 2). Therefore, it was judged that there were no adverse effects on sexual function and fertility, but data on effects on the development of offspring including teratogenicity are insufficient. Therefore, it was classified as "Classification not possible." | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | No data available. | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 2 (liver) |
Warning |
H373 | P260 P314 P501 |
In a combined repeated dose toxicity study with the reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test by oral administration to rats (OECD TG422, GLP), lower values in albumin and total protein in females in the groups of 200 and 1,000 mg/kg, and higher values in ALT and lower values in blood glucose in males in the 1,000 mg/kg group were observed, and as for organ weights, higher values in relative liver weights in males in the groups of 200 and 1,000 mg/kg, and higher values in relative kidney weights in males in the 1,000 mg/kg group were found. Histopathological examination revealed centrilobular hepatocellular hypertrophy of the liver in males in the groups of 200 and 1,000 mg/kg, tubular dilatation and regeneration epithelium in the kidney in males and females in the 1,000 mg/kg group, and increased hyaline droplets in the proximal tubules in males in the 1,000 mg/kg group (Safety Test (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI, 2009))). From the above, toxicity was seen in the liver and kidney as a result of repeated administration, and kidney toxicity was at 1,000 mg/kg/day (converted guidance value: 467 mg/kg) above the guidance value range. However, because liver toxicity was observed at or above 200 mg/kg/day (converted guidance value: 93 mg/kg) corresponding to the guidance values for Category 2, it was classified in Category 2 (liver). | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |

11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment Short term (Acute) | Not classified |
- |
- | - | It was classified as "Not classified" because acute toxicity is not reported for algae, crustacea, and fish at concentrations close to water solubility (Results of Aquatic Toxicity Tests of Chemicals conducted by Ministry of the Environment in Japan (Ministry of the Environment, 2003)). | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment Long term (Chronic) | Category 1 |
Warning |
H410 | P273 P391 P501 |
If chronic toxicity data are used, then it is classified in Category 1 due to being not rapidly degradable (BOD 0% (Biodegradation and Bioconcentration Results of Existing Chemical Substances under the Chemical Substances Control Law, 1977)), and 72-hour NOEC = 0.067 mg/L for algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) (Results of Aquatic Toxicity Tests of Chemicals conducted by Ministry of the Environment in Japan (Ministry of the Environment, 2008)). If acute toxicity data are used for a trophic level for which chronic toxicity data are not obtained, then it is classified as "Not classified" because it is not rapidly degradable (BOD 0% (Biodegradation and Bioconcentration Results of Existing Chemical Substances under the Chemical Substances Control Law, 1977)), and acute toxicity is not reported for algae, crustacea, and fish at concentrations close to water solubility (Results of Aquatic Toxicity Tests of Chemicals conducted by Ministry of the Environment in Japan (Ministry of the Environment, 2003)). By drawing a comparison between the above results, it was classified in Category 1. |
