Based on the descriptions that it indicates corrosivity and severe irritation on animals (IUCLID (2000)) and also on humans (ACGIH (7th, 2001) and HSDB (2000), Institut national de recherche, and CDROMCD 613 (May 2000.3p.)), it was classified as Category 1A-1C.

This product is a skin corrosive substance. With a rabbit, there is a statement of strong eye stimulativeness and a strong necrosis, and loss of eyesight (IUCLID (2000), GESTIS (2005)), and with humans, there is a statement of strong eye stimulativeness, corrosiveness, and loss of eyesight is (ACGIH (7th, 2001), ICSC (J), (2002), HSDB (2005)). So it was set as Category 1.

The effects to the central nervous systems on dizziness, headaches, loss of appetite, weakness, nausea, vomiting, etc. are described in humans (ICSC (J) (2002), HSDB (2005)), and since the denaturation of the nerve cell was observed in the repeat-dose studies in the rat, it was classified into Category 1 (central nervous system). Due to the descriptions that chest pain, cough, breathing difficulties, bronchitis, bronchopneumonia and pulmonary edema are observed in humans (ACGIH (2001)), and that breathing difficulties is described in guinea pigs (RTECS (2005)). So it was classified into Category 1 (respiratory systems).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (central nervous system, respiratory system, kidney) Danger H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (central nervous system, respiratory system, kidney) 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.
P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Since symptoms, such as giddiness, headache, loss of appetite, sluggishness, nausea, and vomiting, etc., in humans was indicated (ACGIH and (7th 2001), (HSDV(2005)), and there was the statement (IUCLID (2000)) that the degeneration of the brain-cell was seen in the rat with the dose of guidance value range of category 1, it was classified in Category 1 (central nervous systems). It was classified into Category 1 (respiratory systems) based on the description of the influence on the respiratory systems, such as bronchitis, bronchopneumonia, and accumulation of fluid in the lungs, in humans (ACGIH (7th, 2001)), and the desciption of the respiratory distress in a ratwith the dosage of the guidance value range of Category 1 (IUCLID (2000)). It was classified in Category 1 (kidney) based on a description of the fatty degenerations of kidney with the dosage of the guidance value range of Category 1 with a rat, and a description of a glomerulonephritis in humans.
