HEALTH HAZARDS

Hazard class		Classification	Symbol	Signal word	Hazard statement	Precautionary statement	Rationale for the classification
1	Acute toxicity （Oral）	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	Although there was description that mortality was not acknowledged in rat by oral administration up to 500mg/kg (NTP TR271 (1985)), but there is no other data. Therefore, we concluded that it could not be classified because we could not identify the category.
1	Acute toxicity （Dermal）	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
1	Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases）	Not applicable	-	-	-	-	Solid (GHS definition)
1	Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours）	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
1	Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists）	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
2	Skin corrosion/irritation	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
3	Serious eye damage/eye irritation	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
4	Respiratory sensitization	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
4	Skin sensitization	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
5	Germ cell mutagenicity	Category 2		Warning	H341: Suspected of causing genetic defects	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 ...	Since there is a positive result by the chromosomal aberration test using a mouse marrow cell which is the in vivo mutagenicity tests using a somatic (NTP DB, 2005), and there is no positive result by the in vivo genotoxicity study using a germ cell, it is set as Category 2.
6	Carcinogenicity	Category 2		Warning	H351: Suspected of causing cancer	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 ...	Since it was classified into group 2B (IARC 57, 1993) in IARC and 2B (industrial hygene academic society recommentation, 2005) in Japan Assoc. of Industrial Health , it was considered as Category 2.
7	Reproductive toxicity	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	There is a description in NTP TR271 (1985) referring to no confirmation of effects on rats through single oral administration at a dosage up to 500mg/kg and those of mice at a dosage up to 1000mg/kg, while there is no examination data in given doses beyond the limits of guidance value of Category 2, determined that it cannot be classified as out of Category for lack of data.
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Not classified	-	-	-	-	Since no serious toxic effect with the dose exceeding the guidance value range for Category 2 in 13-week feeding oral administration test on rats and mice was observed (NTP TR271 (1985)), it was classified as out of Category.
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）	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
11	Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term）	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available.
