HEALTH HAZARDS

Hazard class		Classification	Symbol	Signal word	Hazard statement	Precautionary statement	Rationale for the classification
1	Acute toxicity （Oral）	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
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	-	-	-	-	There is also literature described that skin irritation is in the aqueous solutions of this product used for gold platings. But data is insufficient, it cannot be classified.
3	Serious eye damage/eye irritation	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
4	Respiratory sensitization	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data
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 ...	Since there were three reports which indicate the skin sensitizing property in the NLM TOXNET/TOXLINE retrieval literature of Priority 3, we classified it as Category 1.
5	Germ cell mutagenicity	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
6	Carcinogenicity	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	IRIS (1991) was classified into D (equivalent to out of Category) as cyanide. But it cannot be classified due to insufficient.
7	Reproductive toxicity	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Category 2 (liver)		Warning	H371: May cause damage to organs (liver)	P309+P311: IF exposed or if you feel unwell: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...	There are two reports of effects on the liver in humans in RTECS (2004), which is a Priority 2 document. It was classified as Category 2 (liver).
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	Although the NLM TOXNET/TOXLINE retrieval literature (Priority 3 document) has a report that it has effect on the skin (nail) in occupational exposure, we could not classify it because of the lack of data.
10	Aspiration hazard	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
