| 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. | SPECIES: Rat ENDPOINT: LD50 VALUE: 3300 mg/kg REFERENCE SOURCE: RTECS (2006) |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Dermal） | Not classified | - | - | - | - | It was set as the outside of Category. Based on the description that death was not observed at 5000mg/kg in the test using rabbits (ACGIH (2004)), and rabbit LD50 value: >5000mg/kg (PATTY (4th, 1994)). |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Liquid (GHS definition) |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours） | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Based on rat LC50 (4 hours) value: 40250ppm (equivalent: 102.07mg/L) (ACGIH, 2004, PATTY 4th, 1994), it was judged as the vapor with almost no mist from its vapor pressure. And it was classified as out of Category by the ppm concentration standard. |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Category 3 | - | Warning | H316: Causes mild skin irritation | P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. | There was no concrete case report. But it was set as Category 3 from description that it was the very slight skin stimulativeness (PATTY (4th, 1994)). |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 2B | - | Warning | H320: Causes 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. |
We classified it as Category 2B based on the description that the slight to middle stimulativeness was acknowledged and it recovered within four days in the test applied to the eyes of the rabbits (ACGIH (2004)). |
| 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 | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Insufficient data available. |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Not classified | - | - | - | - | We classified it as Out Of Category based on the description that in the 14-week oral study using the rat the serious toxic effect was not observed with the dose which exceeds the guidance value range of Category 2 (ACGIH (2004) and PATTY (4th, 1994)). |
| 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） | Not classified | - | - | - | - | It carried out the outside of Category from 96-hour LC50>100mg/L of fishes (Oryzias latipes) (MOE eco-toxicity tests of chemicals, 1998). |
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term） | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Since not water-insoluble (aqueous solubility =22030mg/L(PHYSPROP Database, 2005))and acute toxicity is low. |
