---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Category 4 |
H302 |
P301+P312 P264 P270 P330 P501 |
Both of two LD50 values for rats correspond to Category 4 (1280 and 1350 mg/kg bw) (JECFA 1146 (2008)). | |
1 | Acute toxicity (Dermal) | Classification not possible | - | - | - |
Lack of data. Besides, a reported LD50 value of > 5000 mg/kg for rabbits (RTECS (1997)) is from List 3 data and unknown details. |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) | Not applicable | - | - | - | "Solids" according to GHS definition. |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - |
A 16-week diet administration test given 10000 mg/kg (diet) to rats and a 28-week diet administration test given 1000 mg/kg (diet) to rats reported that effects on test substance administration were not observed in both tests, and NOELs were 10000 mg/kg (diet) (1000 mg/kg bw/day) and 1000 mg/kg (diet) (100 mg/kg bw/day) respectively (JECFA 1146 (2008)). Therefore, both NOELs above upper limit (100 mg/kg/day) of values in Guidance in two repeated administration tests by oral route correspond to "Not classified", but the classification in specific target organ toxicity (repeated exposure) was classified as "Classification not possible" because effects on other routes (dermal, inhalation) are unknown due to no data. |
10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
