| 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 | - | - | - | - | Due to the fact that the substance is a solid according to the GHS definition and inhalation of its gas is not expected. |
| 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 As for the health hazards, refer to "CAS 12001-29-5, Chrysotile" and "CAS 1332-21-4, Asbestos." |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available As for the health hazards, refer to "CAS 12001-29-5, Chrysotile" and "CAS 1332-21-4, Asbestos." |

| 4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Category 2 |
|
Warning | H341: Suspected of causing genetic defects |
P308+P313: IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention. P201: Obtain special instructions before use. P202: Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. P281: Use personal protective equipment as required. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Based on the absence of data on multi-generation mutagenicity tests, germ/somatic cell mutagenicity tests in vivo and germ cell genotoxicity tests in vivo, and positive data on somatic cell genotoxicity tests in vivo (DNA damage tests and SCE tests) and in vitro mutagenicity tests (chromosome aberration tests), described in ATSDR (2001). |
| 6 | Carcinogenicity | Category 1A |
|
Danger | H350: May cause cancer |
P308+P313: IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention. P201: Obtain special instructions before use. P202: Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. P281: Use personal protective equipment as required. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Due to the fact that the substance is classified as Category K (asbestos [1332-21-4]) by NTP (2005) and Category A1 (Asbestos, All forms [1332-21-4]) by ACGIH (2001). |
| 7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Insufficient data available |
| 8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 3 （Respiratory tract irritation） |
|
Warning | H335: May cause respiratory irritation (respiratory tract irritation) |
P304+P340: IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. P403+P233: Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. 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. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Based on the human evidence: "the substance irritates the skin, eye and respiratory tract" (ICSC (J) (1998)). Refer to "ID0352; Asbestos (CAS No.1332-21-4)." |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 1 (respiratory system) |
