HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Not classified - - - - Based on the two LD50 values for rats of 5200 and 3340 mg/kg bw (HSDB (2006)), the substance was classified as "Not classified" in the JIS classification (corresponding to Category 5 or "Not classified" in the UN-GHS classification).
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
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. The substance was classified as "R36/37/38" in EU classification (EC-JRC (ESIS)(Access on Oct. 2010)).
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - The classification was not possible due to insufficient data available. As relevant notes, it was reported that the substance was classified as "mild" in the Draize tests (HSDB (2006)), and classified as "R36/37/38" in the EU classification (EC-JRC (ESIS) (Access on Oct. 2010)).
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
4 Skin sensitization Category 1 Warning H317: May cause an allergic skin reaction P302+P352: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water.
P333+P313: If skin irritation or rash occurs: Get medical advice/attention.
P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P272: Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P321: Specific treatment (see ... on this label).
P363: Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
The substance was classified as Category 1 since it was listed as an allergen by the Japanese Society for Dermatoallergology and Contact Dermatitis (Japanese Standard Allergens (2008)), and was classified as "R43" in the EU classification (EC-JRC (ESIS) (Access on Oct. 2010)).
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - The classification was not possible due to lack of in vivo test data. As relevant information, as for in vitro study, positive results in the Ames test were reported (HSDB (2006)).
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 - - - - No data available. As relevant information, the substance was classified as "R36/37/38" in EU classification (EC-JRC(ESIS) (Access on Oct. 2010)).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - The classification was not possible due to lack of sufficient data. As relevant information, there was a report stating that the study in rabbits received 450 mg/kg bw for 3.5 months revealed the effects on metabolic pathways, liver function, fractionation of serum protein and hematology (HSDB (2006)).
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 1 Warning H400: Very toxic to aquatic life P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P391: Collect spillage.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Classified into Category 1 from its 48h-LC50 = 0.24 mg/L for crustacea (Daphnia magna) (AQUIRE, 2011; HSDB, 2010).
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) Category 1 Warning H410: Very 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 1 since its acute toxicity is Category 1 and it is not rapidly degradable (BIOWIN).
12 Hazardous to the ozone layer Classification not possible - - - - This substance is not listed in Annexes to the Montreal Protocol.
