Since severe corrosiveness with 60 second exposure on rabbits (IUCLID (2000)), severe irritation on human (ACGIH (2001)) and severe irritation or corrosive on humans (HSDB (2005)) are reported, and also since the UN classification is subsidiary risks class 8, it was classified as Category 1A. |
| 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. |
There is a statement that corrosive to the human eye (ICSC (J), (1997)). Since skin caustic / irritant was categoried into Category 1A, it was set as Category 1. |

| 4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Not classified | - | - | - | - | The substance was regarded as outside the categories. Because of the reports indicating negative results in the chromosome aberration tests and micronucleus tests using both mouse bone-marrow cells and human peripheral blood lymphocytes (IUCLID (2000)). The substance was also negative in the in vitro Ames test (IUCLID (2000)). |

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 ... |
In the human inhalation exposure, the irritation to throat and pharyngeal mucous membrane, bronchitis, breathing difficulty, nausea, reduction in lung capacity (ACGIH (2001)), pulmonary edemas (ICSC (J) (1997)), burning eye or throat, chest pressure sensation, photophobia, heartache, wheezing, itchiness, blear eye feeling, and lung function abnormalities (IUCLID (2000)) were reported. So it classified into Category 1 (respiratory system). About the irritations of the skin and eye, they are described in the section of skin corrosivity/skin irritation, and eye irritation. |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 1 (respiratory system), Category 2 (bone) |
|
Danger Warning |
H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (respiratory system) H373: May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (bone) |
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 ... |
Because of the statement (ACGIH (2001)) which causes a disorder in the respiratory systems, such as bronchitis, emphysema, and decreased lung function in repeated inhalation exposure of humans, it was classified in Category 1 (respiratory systems).Moreover, although the osteomyelitis of the jawbone called "Phossy jaw (phosphorus necrosis)" was reported (HSDB (2005)) , since it was priority2, it was classified in 2 (bone tissue). |
| 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 | - | - | - | - | Insufficient data available. |
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data |
