Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Based on a LD50 value of >3200 mg/kg for rats (PATTY (5th, 2001)), the substance was classified into "Not classified" in JIS Classification (correspond to Category 5 or "Not classified" in GHS classification). |
1 | Acute toxicity (Dermal) | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data. As relevant information, a LD50 value is >667 mg/kg for guinea pigs (PATTY (5th, 2001)). |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Liquid (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 | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Based on a report that the substance is slightly irritating to guinea pig skin (PATTY (5th, 2001)), the substance was classified as "Not classified" in JIS Classification (correspond to Category 3 in GHS classification). |
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 2 | 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. |
Based on a report that the application to the eyes of rabbits caused pronounced erythema (PATTY (5th, 2001)), the substance was classified into Category 2. | |
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 | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data. Although there are results of oral tests in mice, rats and guinea pigs (RTECS (2008)), the detailed data are not reported. |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | In a 4.5-month inhalation test in rats (vapour, 2 hour/day, 6 days/week), central nervous system effects were reported at concentrations of 34 - 56 ppm/2h (0.105 - 0.167 mg/L/6h) which corresponds to Category 1. However, there are no detailed reports other than "mild reversible effects" (PATTY (5th, 2001)). In addition, there is a report of hematologic changes, however, there are no detailed reports other than "decreased hemoglobin and erythrocyte numbers" (PATTY (5th, 2001)). Classification was not possible due to lack of sufficient data. |
10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. There is a report of "If this liquid is swallowed, aspiration into the lung may result in chemical pneumonitis" (ICSC (J) (2002)). |
Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) | Category 3 | - | - | H402: Harmful to aquatic life |
P273: Avoid release to the environment. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Classified into Category 3 from its 96h-LC50 = 75000 microg/L for fish (Rainbow trout) (AQUIRE, 2010). |
11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Classified into Not classified since it is rapidly degradable (BOD degradation rate: 76% (Biodegradation and Bioconcentration of Existing Chemical Substances under the Chemical Substances Control Law, 2000)) and low bioaccumulative potential is estimated (log Kow = 2.9 (PHYSPROP Database, 2009)). |
12 | Hazardous to the ozone layer | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | This substance is not listed in Annexes to the Montreal Protocol. |
