Hazard statement (code) |
Precautionary statement (code) |
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 |
- |
- | - | The classification is not possible due to lack of data. Besides, in the classification of sodium diethyldithiocarbamate, an analog substance, by the Japanese Government (classification in FY2010), it was described as folllows: "The classification is not possible due to no in vivo data. Besides, as in vitro mutagenicity tests, the results of a negative Ames test, a negative mouse lymphoma test, a negative and weakly positive chromosomal aberration test using CHO cells, and a negative SCE test using CHO cells were reported (above NTP DB (Access on Sept. 2010))." |
| 6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | There are no data on this substance itself. However, IARC classified sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (CAS number: 148-18-5) in Group 3 (IARC Suppl. 7 (1987)), and from the IARC classification result of the sodium salt, this substance was classified as "Classification not possible" in this hazard class. |
| 7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | The classification is not possible due to lack of data. Besides, there is no reproductive toxicity information on the sodium salt of this substance (CAS number: 147-18-5) either, and there are no data available for the classification in this hazard class. |
| 8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | The classification is not possible due to lack of data. Besides, in the classification of sodium diethyldithiocarbamate, an analog substance, by the Japanese Government (classification in FY2010), it was described as follows: "No data. The classification is not possible." |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | The classification is not possible due to lack of data. Besides, in the classification of sodium diethyldithiocarbamate, an analog substance, by the Japanese Government (classification in FY2010), it was described as follows: "In the 90-day oral administration in rats at 0, 30, 100, 300 mg/kg/day, significant weight gain reduction was observed in groups of 100 mg/kg/day or higher, and a decreased red blood cell count and moderate kidney effects were found in a 300 mg/kg/day group. Moreover, it is reported that after 90-day oral administration in dogs at 0, 30, 100, 300 mg/kg/day, a death of 1/4, weight gain reduction, and effects on blood were observed in a 300 mg/kg/day group (Result of the initial environmental risk assessment of chemicals, Vol. 8, Ministry of the Environment in Japan (2010)). Although all doses are above the range of Guidance values, and it corresponds to "Not classified" in an oral route, the classification is not possible due to no data in other routes." |
| 10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | Due to lack of data, the classification is not possible. |
