Although measurement method of the flash point 90 degC (Gangolli (2nd, 1999)) is unknown, it is estimated that the flash point measured by the closed-cup method fall within the range of > 60 degC and <= 93 degC. Therefore, the substance is classified into Category 4. |

Based on the mouse LD50 value of 400 mg/kg (JECFA No. 1130, 1142 (2006)), the substance was classified into Category 4. |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Dermal） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| 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 | Category 1 |
|
Danger | H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage |
P301+P330+P331: IF SWALLOWED: Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. P303+P361+P353: IF ON SKIN （or hair）: Remove/Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower.

The substance was classified as Category 1 based on physicochemical property of pH = 11.5 (GESTIS (Access on Oct. 2010)). As relevant notes, there was the information that the substance caused skin irritation in the human exposure study (HSDB (2003)). |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 1 |
|
Danger | H318: Causes serious eye damage |
P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. |
The substance was classified as Category 1 based on physicochemical property of pH = 11.5 (GESTIS (Access on Oct. 2010)). As relevant notes, pre-existing classification of the substance for skin corrosion/irritation is Category 1. |
| 4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| 4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| 5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Not classified | - | - | - | - | The classification was concluded as "Not classified" based on the negative results in the micronucleus test using bone marrow obtained from mice orally administered (in vivo mutagenicity test in somatic cells) (Evaluation of effect for the food safety (Food Safety Commission) (2010)). As relevant information, as for in vitro studies, negative results were reported in the Ames test, and it was reported that induction of structural chromosome aberration was found in the chromosome aberration test using CHL/IU cells without metabolic activation at only highest dose group (Evaluation of effect for the food safety (Food Safety Commission) (2010)). |
| 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. |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | In the 90-day repeated oral dose study in rats, no effects were noted up to the highest dose, and thus the NOAEL was determined as 1.24 mg/kg/day, the highest dose (Evaluation of effect for the food safety (Food Safety Commission) (2010)). The dose level was, however, within the range of the guidance values, and the effects at near the upper limit of the guidance values were unknown. No other data were available. In conclusion, "Classification not possible" was justified due to lack of sufficient data. |
| 10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Acute） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data. |
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data. |
| 12 | Hazardous to the ozone layer | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | This substance is not listed in Annexes to the Montreal Protocol. |
