HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity （Oral） Not classified - - - - Rat LD50 value: 7800mg/kg, 8400mg/kg and 7600mg/kg (IUCLID, 2000). Based on the data above, it was classified as out of category.
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. Based on rabbit LD50 value: 2500mg/kg ( from about 2500mg/kg and >2500mg/kg (IUCLID, 2000)), it was set as Category 5.
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） 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 rat LC50 (6 hours) value: about 1.5mg/L (4 hour equivalent: about 2.3mg/L) (IUCLID, 2000).it was set as Category 4.
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Category 3 - Warning H316: Causes mild skin irritation P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. It was set as Category 3 from description that it was mild irritation in the skin irritation test using the rat (IUCLID (2000)).
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 it had a mild irritant property in the eye irritation tests using the rats (IUCLID (2000)).
4 Respiratory sensitization Category 1 Danger H334: May cause allergy or asthma symptoms or breathing difficulties if inhaled P304+P341: IF INHALED: If breathing is difficult, remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
P342+P311: If experiencing respiratory symptoms: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P285: In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		Since it was listed as a chemical material which causes sensitivity at the Japanese Society of Occupational allergy, we categorized it to be Category 1 (The Japanese Society of occupational allergy meeting magazines 2004). In addition, it is classified as the class 1 (JSfOH advice, 2005) of the respiratory sensitizing substance in Japan Society for Occupational Health.
4 Skin sensitization Category 1 Warning H317: May cause an allergic skin reaction P302+P352: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water.
P333+P313: If skin irritation or rash occurs: Get medical advice/attention.
P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P272: Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）.
P363: Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		In the Japanese Society for Contact Dermatitis, Rosin (Rosin <- Colophony) is classified as the cutaneous sensitizing substance (the Japanese Society for Contact Dermatitis HP and 2006), and it is classified as SEN in ACGIH (ACGIH 7th, 2006) as class 1 of the cutaneous sensitizing substances in Japan Society for Occupational Health (JSfOH advice, 2005), and as Sh in DFG(MAK/BAT, 2004). Since there was a case report of allergic contact dermatitis in ACGIH (7th, 2001) and DFGOT (vol.11, 1998), we classified it as Category 1.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
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 - - - - No data available.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Acute） Category 2 - - H401: Toxic to aquatic life P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		It was classified into Category 2 from 48-hour EC50=4.5mg/L of Crustacea (Daphnia magna) (IUCLID, 2000).
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term） Category 2 - H411: Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P391: Collect spillage.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		Classified into Category 2, since acute toxicity was Category 2, not rapidly degrading (BOD: 36-48% (IUCLID, 2000)), and bioaccumulation potential is unknown.
