1	Acute toxicity (Oral)	Category 4	Warning	H302	P301+P312 P264 P270 P330 P501	There are data from two tests with rats, an LD50 value in one test was 800 mg/kg (IUCLID (2000)) corresponding to Category 4, and an LD50 value in the other was 3,094 mg/kg (a combined value of 3,000 mg/kg for males and 3,217 mg/kg for females) (IUCLID (2000)) corresponding to "Not classified" in the Classification JIS. The category with higher hazard was adopted from a safety point of view, and it was classified in Category 4.	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
1	Acute toxicity (Dermal)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）

1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
2	Skin corrosion/irritation	Not classified	- -	-	-	It was classified as "Not classified" because it was not irritating in a test by a 4-hour occlusive application to the rabbit skin (IUCLID (2000)).	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
3	Serious eye damage/eye irritation	Category 2B	- Warning	H320	P305+P351+P338 P337+P313 P264	It was classified in Category 2B because it was slightly irritating in a test by an application to the rabbit eye (OECD TG405, GLP) (IUCLID (2000)).	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	- -	-	-	It is reported that it was not sensitizing in a maximization test with guinea pigs (Directive 84/449/EEC, B.6. GLP) (IUCLID (2000)), but it is List 2 data, and the number of animals and a positive rate (a rate of sensitized animals) are unknown. Therefore, it was classified as "Classification not possible."	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, negative results are reported in both an Ames test (GLP) and a chromosomal aberration test with Chinese hamster V79 cells (OECD TG473, GLP) (IUCLID (2000)).	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
6	Carcinogenicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.	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	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Data are lacking. Besides, after 11-day diet administration to rats, there is a report on reduced weight gain, decreased food consumption, and liver effects (changes in biochemical values, increased liver weights, vacuolization of hepatocytes) in the high dose group (1%; converted guidance value 85.6 mg/kg/day) (IUCLID (2000)), but it is reported that in the high dose group (200 mg/kg/day; converted guidance value 62.2 mg/kg/day) after 28-day oral administration to rats, liver weights increased, however, there were no findings suggestive of hepatic lesions at clinical and histopathological examination (IUCLID (2000)), and the above was insufficient for the rationale for classification.

10	Aspiration hazard	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.	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" from 96-hour LC50 > 100 mg/L for fish (Danio rerio) (IUCLID, 2000, BUA 213, 1992).	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
11	Hazardous to the aquatic environment Long term (Chronic)	Not classified	- -	-	-	Reliable chronic toxicity data were not obtained. It was classified as "Not classified" because it is not water-insoluble (water solubility = 5500 mg/L, NITE (2012)), and it was classified as "Not classified" in acute toxicity.	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）
12	Hazardous to the ozone layer	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	This substance is not listed in the Annexes to the Montreal Protocol.	FY2012	GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government （July, 2010）

This GHS classification was conducted based on the information sources and the guidance for classification and judgement which are described in the GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government etc. Using other literature, test results etc. as evidence and including different content from this classification result in a label or SDS are allowed.
Hazard statement and precautionary statement will show by hovering the mouse cursor over a code in the column of "Hazard statement" and "Precautionary statement," respectively. In the excel file, both the codes and statements are provided.
A blank or "-" in the column of "Classification" denotes that a classification for the hazard class was not conducted in the year.
An asterisk “*” in the column of “Classification” denotes that “Not classified (or No applicable)” and/or “Classification not possible” is applicable. Details are described in the column of “Rationale for the classification”. If no English translation is available for “Rationale for the classification,” please refer to the Japanese version of the results.
