HEALTH HAZARDS

Hazard class		Classification	Pictogram Signal word	Hazard statement (code)	Precautionary statement (code)	Rationale for the classification
1	Acute toxicity (Oral)	Category 2	Danger	H300	P301+P310 P264 P270 P321 P330 P405 P501	It was classified in Category 2 based on an LD50 value of 48.5 mg/kg for rats (RTECS (1998), the original article: National Technical Information Service, OTS0539438).
1	Acute toxicity (Dermal)	Category 4	Warning	H312	P302+P352 P362+P364 P280 P312 P321 P501	It was classified in Category 4 based on an LD50 value of 2,000 mg/kg for rabbits (RTECS (1998), the original article: National Technical Information Service, OTS0539438).
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases)	Not applicable	- -	-	-	Solid (GHS definition)
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours)	Category 1	Danger	H330	P304+P340 P403+P233 P260 P271 P284 P310 P320 P405 P501	It was classified in Category 1 based on a 2-hour exposure LC50 value of 0.072 mg/L for rats (13 ppm, converted 4-hour equivalent value: 9.19 ppm) (RTECS (1998), the original article: National Technical Information Service, OTS0539438). Besides, because the test concentration was lower than 90% of the saturated vapour pressure concentration (82 ppm), a reference value of gas was applied as vapour with little mist.

2	Skin corrosion/irritation	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Data are lacking. Besides, it is described that this substance can irritate the skin (HSFS (2000)).
3	Serious eye damage/eye irritation	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Data are lacking. Besides, it is described that this substance can irritate the eye (HSFS (2000)).
4	Respiratory sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.
4	Skin sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.

NOTE:

GHS Classification Result by the Japanese Government is intended to provide a reference for preparing a GHS label or SDS for users. To include the same classification result in a label or SDS for Japan is NOT mandatory.
Users can cite or copy this classification result when preparing a GHS label or SDS. Please be aware, however, that the responsibility for a label or SDS prepared by citing or copying this classification result lies with users.
This GHS classification was conducted based on the information sources and the guidance for classification and judgement which are described in the GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government etc. Using other literature, test results etc. as evidence and including different content from this classification result in a label or SDS are allowed.
Hazard statement and precautionary statement will show by hovering the mouse cursor over a code in the column of "Hazard statement" and "Precautionary statement," respectively. In the excel file, both the codes and statements are provided.
A blank or "-" in the column of "Classification" denotes that a classification for the hazard class was not conducted in the year.
