HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Not classified - - - - Based on its rat LD50 of approximately 3500 mg/kg bw (OECD Guidelines 401) (IUCLID (2000)), the substance was classified into the "Not classified" category using the JIS classification criteria (Category 5 in the United Nations classification).
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Not classified - - - - Based on its rat LD50 of approximately 3200 mg/kg bw (IUCLID (2000)) and LD0 of approximately 3500 mg/kg bw (IUCLID (2000)), the substance was classified into the "Not classified" category using the JIS classification criteria (Category 5 in the United Nations classification).
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Classification not possible - - - - Its LC50 for rats is approximately 14 mg/L/4h (IUCLID (2000)) and its LC50 for mice or guinea pigs is 15 mg/L/6h (IUCLID (2000)). Its saturated vapour concentration is 2.54-25.4 mg/L. Since we cannot determine if these studies were conducted as vapour exposure or mist administration exposure, classification is not possible. However, if the tests were conducted in a vapour state, its class is Category 4 and if in a mist state, its class is "Not classified".
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible - - - - Its LC50 for rats is approximately 14 mg/L/4h (IUCLID (2000)) and its LC50 for mice or guinea pigs is 15 mg/L/6h (IUCLID (2000)). Its saturated vapour concentration is 2.54-25.4 mg/L. Since we cannot determine if these studies were conducted as vapour exposure or mist administration exposure, classification is not possible. However, if the tests were conducted in a vapour,state its class is Category 4 and if in a mist state, its class is "Not classified".
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Not classified - - - - Based on the information that the substance is not irritating in rabbits (IUCLID (2000)) and in humans (IUCLID (2000)), it was classified into "Not classified".
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Not classified - - - - Based on the information that the substance is not eye irritant in rabbits (IUCLID (2000)), it was classified into "Not classified".
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - Maximization tests using guinea pigs found that the substance is not skin sensitizing (IUCLID (2000)). Likewise, human patch tests also found it is not skin sensitizing (IUCLID (2000)). These negative results indicate the placement of the substance into "Not classified". However, since these results were obtained using List 2 datasets, the substance was classified into "Classification not possible".
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - Although in vivo cytogenetical tests (IUCLID (2000)) have been documented, no results were provided and classification cannot be carried out. Regarding in vitro mutagenicity tests, negative results were obtained in both Ames tests and CHO/HGPRT tests (IUCLID (2000)).
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data available. It is rated as R45 in Category 2 in the EU classification.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data available. Although, three-generation inhalation administration tests or inhalation administration tests conducted during the organogenetic period have been documented, details such as the presence or absence of the effects were not provided. Furthermore, consistency between datasets cannot be checked.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data available. 12-month, repeated inhalation exposure tests using rats found that NOAEL is approximately 2 mg/L (IUCLID (2000)), which is above the guidance values. However, the study was conducted using female rats only and test details cannot be verified.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available. Since the main ingredient of this substance is hydrocarbon and its kinematic viscosity value, as estimated from its range of boiling point, may be within the guidance values, the substance is likely to fall under the category of aspiration hazard.
