| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Oral） | Category 4 |
|
Warning | H302: Harmful if swallowed |
P301+P312: IF SWALLOWED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. P330: Rinse mouth. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Based on the rat LD50 (oral route) of 438mg/kg (RTECS (2005)). |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Dermal） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Due to the fact that the substance is "solid" according to the GHS definition and inhalation of its gas is not expected. |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |

| 4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available As for the germ cell mutagenicity of cadmium, refer to "ID254, Cadmium Chloride, CAS: 10108-64-2." |
| 6 | Carcinogenicity | Category 1A |
|
Danger | H350: May cause cancer |
P308+P313: IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention. P201: Obtain special instructions before use. P202: Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. P281: Use personal protective equipment as required. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
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. |
| 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." |
| 8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 1 (respiratory system) |
|
Danger | H370: Causes damage to organs (respiratory system) |
P307+P311: IF exposed: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
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)). |
| 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)). |
| 10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Acute） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data |
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term） | Category 4 | - | - | H413: May cause long lasting harmful effects to aquatic life |
P273: Avoid release to the environment. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Since although acute toxicity is not reported within the aqueous solubility concentrations, it was a metallic compound, and the underwater action was unknown, it was classified into Category 4. |
