It was classified as Category 4 from the statement of rat inhalation LC50: 4000ppm (4h) (RTECS (2005)).
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Category 2 Warning H315: Causes skin irritation P302+P352: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water.

In rabbit skin irritation test, it was assigned grade6 (PATTY (5th, 2001)), and there is a description that it irritates skin and may cause burn on human skin (HSDB (2005)), it was classified as Category 2.
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.

Although the eye irritation recovers in 3 - 4 hours in human exposure to vapor, blurred vision remains in exposures of fluids (PATTY (2001)). It was set as Cayegory 1 from the description of grade 10 (PATTY (5th, 2001)) in the eye stimulativeness examination of the rabbit.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - Since there is no data, it cannot be classified.
4 Skin sensitization Not classified - - - - Based on a statement that the result of an animal test was negative(IUCLID (2000)), it was put outside of the Category.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - Each in vitro mutagenicity test (Ames examination, chromosomal aberration test) result was negative, however, we found no in vivo test data and we presupposed that we could not categorize it by the technical guideline.
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data and reports
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - It is reported maternal toxicity was NOAEL 0.05mg/L and teratogenicity NOAEL 1mg/L (maximum administration dose) (IUCLID (2000) priority 2). However, it was presupposed that it cannot classify for classifying because of insufficient data.

Irritation of the nose and throat was identified by short term exposures of 10 - 20ppm with Volunteers (ACGIH (2001)), and there are descriptions that pulmonary edemas are caused at high exposure levels resulting in death in cace the treatment is delayed (ACGIH (2001); SITTIG (47th, 2002)). So it was set as Category 1(respiratory systems).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 2 (eye, respiratory system) Warning H373: May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (eye, respiratory system) P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Although it was priority2, based on the statement that repeated exposure causes vision loss, stimulus of lungs, and bronchitis, it was classified to as Category 2 (SITTIG (47th, 2002)).
10 Aspiration hazard Category 2 Warning H305: May be harmful if swallowed and enters airways P301+P310: IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
P331: Do NOT induce vomiting.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Category 2 because of "possible to cause chemical pneumonia by misswallowing of the liquid."(ICSC(J), 1999)
