Since there is the description with redness and the pain which stimulate human skin (ICSC(J)1997; HSDB, 2003; SITTIG, 4th, 2002), and it was classified into R36/37/38 (eyes, respiratory systems and skin are stimulated) according to EU-Annex I (Accessed in Sept.2006), it was thought that there was skin irritation and it was set as category 2.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 2A-2B 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.
From the description with redness, pain and stimulate the human eye (ICSC(J), 1997; HSDB, 2003; SITTIG, 4th, 2002), and it is classified into R36/37/38( eye, respiratory organ, and skin are stimulated) according to Annex I (Accessed in Sept. 2006), it thought that there was eye irritation. And it was set as Category 2A-2B. In addition, detailed categorization is difficult.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Not classified - - - - There is no this substance data. But when based on the knowledge of pentachlorophenol (CAS No.87-86-5) (EHC 71, 1987), with an inadequate test, there was dominant fatality test negativity, no significant difference though the effect occurs by the mouse spot test, and Ames test negativity. So it is classified as the out of the Category, about this substance, sodium solt.
6 Carcinogenicity Category 2 Warning H351: Suspected of causing cancer P308+P313: IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention.

P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Since embryo absorption, fetal death and teratogenicity were observed at the dose indicating maternal toxicity in tests of oral mixed feed administration to 8-19 days pregnant female rats (EHC 71, 1987), it was set as Category 2. In addition, embryo and fetus toxicity is observed but not teratogenicity of pentachlorophenol (CAS: No.87-86-5) (EHC 71, 1987; HSG 19, 1989), although teratogenicity was seen in this study.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 2 (lung, cardiovascular system, central nervous system, liver, kidney) Warning H371: May cause damage to organs (lung, cardiovascular system, central nervous system, liver, kidney) 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 is description that it affects human lungs, a cardiovascular system, a central nervous system, liver, and the kidney in ICSC (J)(1997), SITTIG (4th, 2002) of Priority 2 document, and it was considered as Category 2 (lungs, a cardiovascular system, a central nervous system, liver, kidney). In addition, there is description of influence on these internal organs as knowledge of pentachlorophenol (CAS No.87-86-5) in EHC 71 (1987).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (skin, central nervous system, liver, kidney), Category 2 (central nervous system) Danger
Warning
H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (skin, central nervous system, liver, kidney)
H373: May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (central nervous system)
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.
P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Since there is the statement of influence into the human skin (chloracne), liver, and kidney (EHC 71 (1987) of Priority 1 document), it was classified into Category 1 (skin, liver, kidney). Since it is supposed that it has also effect on a central nervous systems besides these organs (ICSC (J) (1997) of Priority 2 document), it was classified into Category 2 (central nervous systems).
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available
