5	Germ cell mutagenicity	Category 2	Warning	H341	P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501	[Rationale for the Classification] Because in vivo data on this substance itself available for the classification were not obtained, information on the whole cadmium compounds (as cadmium ion, Cd2+) was used for evaluation. From (1), (2), positive reports in germ cells and somatic cells were obtained on water-soluble cadmium chloride. Although water solubility of this substance is low, it may cause hazards similar to cadmium chloride when incorporated in the body, therefore, it was classified in Category 2. The category was revised by considering knowledge on the whole cadmium compounds and water solubility of this substance. [Evidence Data] (1) It is reported that after administration of cadmium (mainly cadmium chloride), chromosomal aberrations in mouse spermatocytes and hamster oocytes and altered gene expression in mouse spermatid occurred (ATSDR (2012), IARC 58 (1993)). (2) It is reported that as the result of administrating cadmium chloride to mice, dose-dependent increases in the incidences of micronuclei, sister chromatid exchanges, and chromosomal aberrations were observed in the peripheral blood. Moreover, it is reported that increased single strand breaks in the DNA were observed in rats after administrating cadmium chloride (EU-RAR (2007), DFGOT Vol. 22 (2006), NICNAS IMAP (Accessed Dec. 2018)). [Reference Data, etc.] (3) It is reported that increases in the incidences of micronuclei and sister chromatid exchanges in peripheral lymphocytes were shown in workers occupationally exposed to cadmium (compound not specified) and that human lymphocytes from people inhabiting cadmium-polluted areas of China were found to have increased micronuclei rates and a higher frequency of chromosomal aberrations and severe aberration types. However, conflicting knowledge is also reported (ATSDR (2012)). (4) As for in vivo, a dominant lethal test by administrating cadmium (mainly cadmium chloride) was negative (ATSDR (2012), IARC 58 (1993), DFGOT Vol. 22 (2006)). (5) As for in vitro, it is reported that a bacterial reverse mutation test, a chromosomal aberration test and a sister chromatid exchange test in cultured mammalian cells (CHO) were positive (NICNAS IMAP (Accessed Jan. 2019)). (6) Water solubility of this substance is 28 microg/L (IARC 58 (1993), DFGOT Vol. 22 (2006)), 3.2 mg/L (calculated value) (REACH registration dossier (Accessed Feb. 2019)). (7) This substance was classified in Muta. 1B in EU CLP.	FY2018	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1))
6	Carcinogenicity	Category 1A	Danger	H350	P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501	Due to the fact that the substance is classified as Category K (as Cadmium and Cadmium Compounds) by NTP (2005), Group 1 (as Cadmium and Cadmium Compounds) by IARC (1993) and Category 1 (as Cadmium and Cadmium Compounds) by the Japan Society for Occupational Health.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
7	Reproductive toxicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available As for the reproductive toxicity of cadmium, refer to "ID254, Cadmium Chloride, CAS: 10108-64-2."	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Category 1 (respiratory organs)	Danger	H370	P308+P311 P260 P264 P270 P321 P405 P501	Based on the evidence from animal studies including "discoloration and hemorrhage of the lung and gastrointestinal tract" (HSDB (1999)), "rhonchus and tachypnea" (ATSDR (1999)). The effects were observed at dosing levels within the guidance value ranges for Category 1. The acute toxicity of cadmium compounds manifests in humans as "chemical pneumonia and pulmonary edema following inhalation exposure, and acute/severe nausea, vomiting and gastralgia after oral exposure" (EHC 134 (1992)).	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available The chronic toxicity of cadmium compounds manifests as "renal failure, pulmonary emphysema" (EHC 134 (1992)), "hypercalcinuria, a decrease in blood phosphate levels, nephrolithiasis, osteoporosis and osteomalacia" (CaPSAR (1994)).	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
10	Aspiration hazard	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
