---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Category 2 |
H300 |
P301+P310 P264 P270 P321 P330 P405 P501 |
From an LD50 value of 50 mg/kg for rats (HSDB (2009)), it was classified in Category 2. | |
1 | Acute toxicity (Dermal) | Not classified | - | - | - | From an LD50 value of > 2000 mg/kg for rabbits (CICAD 66 (2005)), it was classified as "Not classified" in JIS classification (Category 5 or "Not classified" in UN GHS classification). |
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 | Category 2 |
H315 |
P302+P352 P332+P313 P264 P280 P321 P362 |
A test applied undiluted this substance to rabbit skin for 24 hours reported slight hyperemia with moderate edema (CICAD 66 (2005)). And there is the information that it is irritating to the skin (HSDB (2009)). Therefore it was classified in Category 2. |
|
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 2A |
H319 |
P305+P351+P338 P337+P313 P264 P280 |
Extensive conjunctival and corneal damage were observed after undiluted this substance application in a test using rabbits. And extensive conjunctival irritation with moderate corneal damage was reported in the application of 10 % solution. (CICAD 66 (2005)) From the results, it was classified in Category 2A. |
|
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 | - | - | - | It was classified as "Classification not possible" because details of the information that "it is irritating to respiratory system" (HSDB (2009)) are unknown due to no further description. |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |

11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) | Category 2 | No pictogram |
H401 |
P273 P501 |
It was classified in Category 2 from 72-hour ErC50 = 1.1 mg/L for algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) (Results of Eco-toxicity tests of chemicals conducted by Ministry of the Environment in Japan, 2005). |
11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) | Category 1 |
H410 |
P273 P391 P501 |
If chronic toxicity data are used, then it is classified in Category 1 from non-rapidly degradable (a degradation rate by BOD: 0 % (the existing chemicals survey program, 2002)) and 72-hour NOEC = 0.10 mg/L for algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) (Results of Eco-toxicity tests of chemicals conducted by Ministry of the Environment in Japan, 2005). If acute toxicity data are used for trophic levels for which chronic toxicity data are lacking, then it is classified in Category 2 from non-rapidly degradable (a degradation rate by BOD: 0 % (the existing chemicals survey program, 2002)) and 48-hour EC50 = 2.1 mg/L for crustacea (Daphnia magna) (Results of Eco-toxicity tests of chemicals conducted by Ministry of the Environment in Japan, 2005). It was classified in Category 1 by a comparison between the above results. |
