| 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. | Rat LD50 value: 4590mg/kg (ACGIH 7th, 2001) and 3200 - 6400mg/kg (PATTY 4th, 1994). Based on the data above, the lowest values was adopted, and it was classified as category 5. |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Dermal） | Category 5 | - | Warning | H313: May be harmful in contact with skin | P312: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. | It was set as Category 5 based on rabbit LD50 value: 4860mg/kg (ACGIH 7th, 2001). |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Liquid (GHS definition) |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours） | Category 4 |
|
Warning | H332: Harmful if inhaled |
P304+P340: IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P271: Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. P312: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. |
Based on description that 3 out of 6 rats died with 4-hour exposure to 4000ppm (equivalent: 14.06mg/L) in the inhalation exposure test (ACGIH (7th, 2001)), LC50 (4 hours) value was judged to be almost equivalent to 4000ppm. 4000 ppm could be judged from vapor pressure as the steam with almost no mist, and classified by the ppm concentration standard as Category 4. |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | There was description that three among three rat died from 48000ppm 1.2-hour exposure (4 hour equivalent: 50.6mg/L) (PATTY (4th, 1994)). But it was presupposed that it cannot classify since data is insufficient for specifying Category. |
| 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. |
From description that the skin of the guinea pigs was stimulated seriously (ACGIH (7th, 2001) and PATTY (4th, 1994)), and from description that the moderate irritation was admitted in the test applied to the skin of the rabbit (RTECS (2005)), it was set as Category 2 . |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 2A |
|
Warning | H319: Causes serious 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. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. |
We classified it as Category 2A based on the descriptions that it stimulated the eyes of the rabbits seriously (ACGIH (7th, 2001) and PATTY (4th, 1994)). |
| 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 lack of data |
| 6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 3 （Respiratory tract irritation） |
|
Warning | H335: May cause respiratory irritation (respiratory tract irritation) |
P304+P340: IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. P403+P233: Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P271: Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. P312: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Because of a description in ACGIH (7th, 2001) referring to confirmation of a decreased respiratory rate through an inhalation exposure test using mice, it was judged as respiratory irritant, and determined to be Category 3 (respiratory irritant). |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 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） | Category 3 | - | - | H402: Harmful to aquatic life |
P273: Avoid release to the environment. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
It was classified into Category 3 from 96-hour LC50=13mg/L of fishes (Oryzias latipes) (MOE eco-toxicity tests of chemicals, 1998). |
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term） | Category 3 | - | - | H412: Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects |
P273: Avoid release to the environment. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Classified into Category 3, since acute toxicity was Category 3 and rapid degradability is unknown, though supposed less bio-accumulative (log Kow=1.31 (PHYSPROP Database, 2005)). |
