HEALTH HAZARDS

Hazard class		Classification	Pictogram Signal word	Hazard statement (code)	Precautionary statement (code)	Rationale for the classification	Classification year (FY)	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government
1	Acute toxicity (Oral)	Category 4	Warning	H302	P301+P312 P264 P270 P330 P501	In two tests with rats, we compared the LD50 values for male and female rats. Then for the lower of these groups we compared the LD50 values between the two tests, and selected the lower of the two. Based on the value LD50 = 450.0 mg/kg (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data) which was the lower value of the data from the two tests, the substance was classified as Category 4.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
1	Acute toxicity (Dermal)	Not classified	- -	-	-	It was set as the outside of Category based on rat LD50 >5000mg (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data).	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases)	Not classified (Not applicable)	- -	-	-	Solid (GHS definition)	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists)	-	- Warning	-	-	It was set as Category 5 based on rat LC0 = 3.05mg/L and LC10-20 = 5.2mg/L (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data).	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
2	Skin corrosion/irritation	Category 3	- Warning	-	-	Skin reactions against rabbits is only slight erythema with non-scraping part and scratch part, and a stimulative reaction has a statement that it disappeared within 72 hours. It was set as category 3 since weak skin irritations was admitted also in skin sensitivity test (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data).	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
3	Serious eye damage/eye irritation	Category 2B	- Warning	H320	P305+P351+P338 P337+P313 P264	Based on the description that the redness in the conjunctiva and dropsy were observed slightly to the rabbit eye, and recovered within four days (EU Agricultural Chemical Registration Data), it was classified into Category 2B.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
4	Respiratory sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
4	Skin sensitization	Not classified	- -	-	-	Skin sensitization was carried out the outside of Category by the maximization method using a guinea pig based on the description (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data) that it is negative.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
5	Germ cell mutagenicity	Not classified	- -	-	-	There is no data of human multi generation epidemiology, an multi generation mutagenicity test, and a germ cell in vivo mutagenicity test, and there is the description it is negative in the somatic cell test in vivo mutagenicity test (small core test using mouse) (EU Agricultural Chemical Registration Data). So it is classified as the out of the Category.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
6	Carcinogenicity	Not classified	- -	-	-	In carcinogenicity tests in rat and mouse, based on the description that generating of treatment-related increased tumor was not observed in each examination (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data), it was out of the Category.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
7	Reproductive toxicity	Not classified	- -	-	-	Although gigantocellularis were acknowledged by the testis of F3 male child in the three-generation reproduction study using a rat, it seems that there is no relation with administrations. Both parent and fetal animals did not have the other effects of this. In the teratogenic study using rats and rabbits, teratogenic was not acknowledged by highest dose as which general toxicity is regarded by parent animals (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data). Based on the above information, it was carried out the outside of Category.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Category 2 (systemic, nervous system)	Warning	H371	P308+P311 P260 P264 P270 P405 P501	It was considered as Category 2 (systemicity, nervous system) based on the description (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data) that creeping, eye haemorrhages, spasms, collapse, diarrhea, tremors, conrtraction, salivation, and bloody tears etc., at dose (450-1012mg/kg) within the range of guidance value in Category 2 in rats and mouse were observed.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Not classified	- -	-	-	Because of the description of few toxic effects with dosage higher than the guidance value range of Category 2 in the subacute toxicity study with rats during 90 days, and of the mention of no toxic effect with dosage in the chronic toxicity study with rats for two years (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data), it was judged out of Categories.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
10	Aspiration hazard	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
