Rationale for the classification
1 Explosives Not applicable - - - There are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties present in the molecule.
2 Flammable gases (including chemically unstable gases) Not applicable - - - "Solids" according to GHS definition.
3 Aerosols Not applicable - - - Not an aerosol product.
4 Oxidizing gases Not applicable - - - "Solids" according to GHS definition.
5 Gases under pressure Not applicable - - - "Solids" according to GHS definition.
6 Flammable liquids Not applicable - - - "Solids" according to GHS definition.
7 Flammable solids Not classified - - - It is non-combustible. (GESTIS (Access on September 2015))
8 Self-reactive substances and mixtures Not applicable - - - There are no chemical groups present in the molecule associated with explosive or self-reactive properties.
9 Pyrophoric liquids Not applicable - - - "Solids" according to GHS definition.
10 Pyrophoric solids Not classified - - - It is non-combustible. (GESTIS (Access on September 2015))
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Not classified - - - It is non-combustible. (GESTIS (Access on September 2015))
12 Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases Not classified - - - It is conceivable that it does not react vigorously with water from insoluble in water (HSFS (2009)) as a result of the observation.
13 Oxidizing liquids Not applicable - - - "Solids" according to GHS definition.
14 Oxidizing solids Classification not possible - - - An inorganic compound that contains oxygen, but the classification is not possible due to no data.
15 Organic peroxides Not applicable - - - It is an inorganic compound.
16 Corrosive to metals Classification not possible - - - No established test method suitable for solid substances.

Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Classification not possible - - - Due to lack of data, the classification is not possible.
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - Due to lack of data, the classification is not possible.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - "Solids" according to GHS definition.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Not applicable - - - "Solids" according to GHS definition.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible - - - Due to lack of data, the classification is not possible.
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Classification not possible - - - Due to lack of data, the classification is not possible.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - Due to lack of data, the classification is not possible.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - Due to lack of data, the classification is not possible.
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - Due to lack of data, the classification is not possible.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - Due to lack of data, the classification is not possible.

P501
There is no information on carcinogenicity caused by exposure to this substance alone in either humans or experimental animals.
But because this substance (CAS number: 1317-95-9) belongs to crystalline silica (IARC 100C (2012)), it was classified in Category 1A in this hazard class.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - Due to lack of data, the classification is not possible.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - Due to lack of data, the classification is not possible.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (respiratory system)

Danger
H372
P260
P264
P270
P314
P501
Data for humans were not obtained.
Data on repeated administration toxicity in experimental animals were not obtained.
But this substance is the same alpha-quartz of crystalline silica as quartz. (ACGIH (7th, 2006))
Therefore, taking into the same effects on respiratory organs as quarts, it was classified in Category 1 (respiratory system).
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - Due to lack of data, the classification is not possible.

NOTES:
* A blank or "-" in a cell of classification denotes that the classification of the hazard class was not conducted.
* Hazard_statement_and/or_Precautionary_statement will show when hovering the mouse over a code of Hazard_statement_and/or_Precautionary_statement.
   Hazard_statement_and/or_Precautionary_statement are also provided in the Excel file.
* Classification was conducted by relevant Japanese Ministries in accordance with GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government,
   and is intended to provide a reference for preparing GHS labelling and SDS for users.
* This is a provisional English translation of classification results and is subject to revision without notice.
* The responsibility for any resulting GHS labelling and SDS referenced from this site is with users.
* Codes assigned to each of the hazard statements and codes for each of the precautionary statement are
   based on the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) in United Nations.
