PHYSICAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Explosives Not classified - - - - Not classified because of no data on the explosibility, though the substance contains nitrogen atoms adjacent to each other as chemical groups associated with explosive properties present and has its oxygen balance calculated at -114.6, higher than -200 of the criteria.
2 Flammable gases (including chemically unstable gases) Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
3 Aerosols Not applicable - - - - Not aerosol products
4 Oxidizing gases Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
5 Gases under pressure Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
6 Flammable liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
7 Flammable solids Classification not possible - - - - No data available
8 Self-reactive substances and mixtures Not classified - - - - Although the grouping relevant to explosive (adjoining nitrogen atom) was included, the grouping relevant to autoreactive was not included and the data in which autoreactive is indicated was not found, either. So it was considered the outside of Category.
9 Pyrophoric liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
10 Pyrophoric solids Not classified - - - - Non-pyrophoric when in contact with air at a room temperature and used as agricultural chemicals.
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Classification not possible - - - - No data available
12 Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases Not classified - - - - Stable to water (the water solubility is obtained)
13 Oxidizing liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
14 Oxidizing solids Classification not possible - - - - No data available
15 Organic peroxides Not applicable - - - - Organic compounds containing no -0-0- structure
16 Corrosive to metals Classification not possible - - - - Test methods applicable to solid substances are not available.

HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Category 3 Danger H301: Toxic if swallowed P301+P310: IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
P321: Specific treatment (see ... on this label).
P330: Rinse mouth.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Based on the LD50 value of 60mg/kg (HSDB, 2003; RTECS, 2003) in the oral administration test using female rats and rats, the substance was classified as Category 3.
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - There is only a report of rat LD50 value >100mg/kg (HSDB, 2003) of the dermal administration test, and it cannot be classified.
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 Classification not possible - - - - There is no in vivo data. And in in vitro mutagenicity test, there is an Ames positive (RTECS, 2003; NTP DB, 2006), MLA positives (NTP DB, 2006), a CHL cell chromosome aberration positive (HSDB, 2003; RTECS, 2003), CHO cell chromosome aberration negative (NTP DB, 2006). And although the response of Ames is strong, other positive reactions are not strong. Moreover, in the CHO chromosome aberration test of NTP was negative, it was not judged as 2 because of insufficient knowledge. And it cannot be classified according to a guideline.
6 Carcinogenicity Not classified - - - - Since it was classificationed into Group 3 (substance which cannot be classificationed into human carcinogenicity) in IARC (Supple.7, 1987), it carried out the outside of Category. In addition, carcinogenic was also negative in the two-year feed-mix administration tests for rats and mice of NTP TR101 (1978).
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - Although fetal death and musculoskeletal effects in teratogenicity studies using female rats were reported (RTECS, 2003) it was judged to be unclassifiable due to insufficient data.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 1 (kidney) Danger H370: Causes damage to organs (kidney) P307+P311: IF exposed: 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.
P321: Specific treatment (see ... on this label).
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Since in acute oral administration in rat, renal tubular damage (HSDB, 2003) was observed at the dose of guidance levels in Category 1, it was considered as Category 1 (renal).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 2 (kidney) Warning H373: May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (kidney) P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Since nephropathy is observed in feeding administration for 12 months in rat at 0.10% (= an equivalent for 1000 ppm and 50 mg/kg/day) (HSDB, 2003) and it is equivalent to the guidance value of Category 2, it was classified into Category 2 (kidney).
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) 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 96-hour LC50=3.7mg/L of Crustacea (Amphipod), and others (HSDB, 2004).
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, and supposed not rapidly degrading (BIOWIN), though lsupposed ess bio-accumulative (log Kow=-1.66(PHYSPROP Database, 2005)).
