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) of 4,696mg/kg (CERI Hazard Data 2001-64 (2002)).
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 "liquid" 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) Category 5 - Warning H333: May be harmful if inhaled P304+P312: IF INHALED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. Based on the guinea pig LC50 value of 1,500ppm, calculated from the testing data of guinea pig LC50 (4 hour inhalation of vapour) of 11mg/L (CERI Hazard Data 2001-64 (2002)), exceeded the saturated vapour concentration (140ppm) under a saturated vapour pressure of 0.014kPa (25degC) (HSDB (2006)), the substance was considered as "mist exposure," and the obtained LC50 was lower than the upper limit value of Category 4 (5mg/L) by more than 2.5 fold.
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Category 1A-1C Danger H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage P301+P330+P331: IF SWALLOWED: Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting.
P303+P361+P353: IF ON SKIN (or hair): Remove/Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower.
P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
P304+P340: IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
P321: Specific treatment (see ... on this label).
P363: Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Based on the description in the report on guinea pig skin irritation tests (CERI Hazard Data 2001-64 (2002)): "Severe irritation was observed" (though study details are not available). Although classified into Category 1A-1C in the absence of data on reversibility, the substance should be placed in Category 1A from the viewpoint of safety if further subclassification is needed.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 1 Danger H318: Causes serious eye damage P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
Based on the description in the report on rabbit eye irritation tests: "Severe conjunctival irritation was noted" (though no data are available on reversibility). Classified as Category 1 in accordance with the technical guideline, given the fact that the substance is classified into Category 1A-1C for "2. Skin corrosion/irritation."
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to the insufficiency of data (no data available on in vivo mutagenicity/genotoxicity tests)
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
7 Reproductive toxicity Category 1B Danger H360: May damage fertility or the unborn child 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 ...
Based on the evidence of decreased delivery in the absence of toxic effects on females, described in Report by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (1998) and CERI Hazard Data 2001-64 (2002).
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data available
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data available
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) Not classified - - - - It was classified into Not classified from 96 hours LC50>100mg/L of the fish (Oryzias Latipest) (MOE eco-toxicity tests of chemicals (1997) and others.).
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) Not classified - - - - Since it was not water-insolubility (the water-solubility =11300mg/L (PHYSPROP Database, 2005)), and acute toxicity was low, it was classified into Not classified.
