HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Category 5 - Warning H303: May be harmful if swallowed P312: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. Based on the rat LD50 (oral route) value of 2,200mg/kg (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1983)).
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Not classified - - - - Based on the rat LD50 (dermal route) value of >4,000mg/kg, together with the absence of mortality (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1983)).
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Due to the fact that the substance is a liquid according to the GHS criteria 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 - - - - The available rat inhalation studies reported the LC50 value of >2.8mg/L, but there are no test data available for higher doses (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1983)).
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Category 2 Warning H315: Causes skin irritation P302+P352: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water.
P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P321: Specific treatment (see ... on this label).
P362: Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.
Based on test data from rabbit skin irritation studies (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1983)): "Moderately irritating."
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 2B - Warning H320: Causes eye irritation P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
P337+P313: If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
Based on test data from rabbit eye irritation tests (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1983)): "The substance induced mild irritation reactions of the conjunctiva, which were reversed within 7 days."
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
4 Skin sensitization Category 1 Warning H317: May cause an allergic skin reaction P302+P352: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water.
P333+P313: If skin irritation or rash occurs: Get medical advice/attention.
P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P272: Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P321: Specific treatment (see ... on this label).
P363: Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Based on positive results in guinea pig skin sensitization tests (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1986)).
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Not classified - - - - Based on negative data in in vitro reverse mutation tests, in vitro chromosome aberration tests and in vivo micronucleus tests on mouse bone marrow cells (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1983, 1985, 1988)).
6 Carcinogenicity Not classified - - - - There was no evidence of treatment-related incidence of tumor formation observed in rat and mouse carcinogenicity studies (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1983, 1985)).
7 Reproductive toxicity Not classified - - - - Based on no evidence of adverse effects on reproduction or offspring development observed in rat 3-generation reproduction studies (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1985)) and rat/rabbit teratogenicity studies (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1983)).
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - No symptoms or signs referable to specific target organs were observed in the available single dose toxicity studies in rats and mice (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1983, 1986)).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - No symptoms or signs referable to specific target organs were observed in the available subacute toxicity studies in rats (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1983)).
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) Category 1 Warning H400: Very toxic to aquatic life P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P391: Collect spillage.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
It was classified into Category 1 from 72 hours ErC50=0.0028mg/L of the algae (Green Algae) (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data, 2004).
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) Category 1 Warning H410: Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P391: Collect spillage.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Since acute toxicity was Category 1 and there was no rapidly degrading (BIOWIN), and since there wasbio-accumulation (log Kow=4.08 (PHYSPROP Database, 2005)), it was classified into Category 1.
