Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Not applicable
-
-
- -  Gas (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Not applicable
-
-
- -  Gas (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not classified
-
-
- -  Based on the reported 4-hour LC50 of 230,000 and 300,000 ppm (ca. 1,274,049-1,671,847 mg/m3) for rats (SIDS (2006), ECETOC JACC (2004), PATTY (6th, 2012)) , the substance was classified as "Not classified." Following the revision of the GHS classification guidance for the Japanese government, the category was revised.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Not applicable
-
-
- -  Gas (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Not applicable
-
-
- -  Gas (GHS definition)
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Classification not possible
-
-
- -  Classification not possible due to lack of data.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible
-
-
- -  Classification not possible due to lack of data.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible
-
-
- -  Classification not possible due to lack of data.
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible
-
-
- -  Classification not possible due to lack of data.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible
-
-
- -  The substance was classified as "Classification not possible," because it was not possible to classify a substance as "Not classified" according to the revised GHS classification guidance for the Japanese Government.
 As for in vivo, a micronucleus test in mice bone marrow cells was negative (SIDS (2006), PATTY (6th, 2012), ECETOC JACC (2004)), and as for in vitro, bacterial reverse mutation tests and in vitro mammalian cell chromosome aberration tests were both negative (SIDS (2006), PATTY (6th, 2012), ECETOC JACC (2004), EHC 139 (1992)).
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible
-
-
- -  In a carcinogenicity study in which rats were exposed by inhalation to the substance at concentrations up to 50,000 ppm (279,000 mg/m3) for 2 years, no increase in tumor incidence by the administration of the test substance was observed (SIDS (2006), ECETOC JACC (2004), PATTY (6th, 2012)).
 However, it is impossible to classify the substance as "Not classified" based on the negative results only in single species of experimental animals. Therefore, this substance could not be classified for this hazard class due to lack of data.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible
-
-
- -  In a developmental toxicity study by inhalation in pregnant rats (gestation days 6-15) and rabbits (gestation days 6-18) in the organogenesis period, no developmental toxicity was observed in the fetus of both species at up to the concentration of 50,000 ppm (279,000 mg/m3) where maternal toxicities (decreased weight gain and food consumption, and a reduced response to auditory stimuli in rats, decreased food consumption and decreased in-chamber activity in rabbits) were observed (ECETOC JACC (2004), SIDS (2006), PATTY (6th, 2012)).
 However, this substance could not be classified for this hazard class due to lack of data because there was no information on the effects on fertility and the sexual function.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 3 (Narcotic effects)


Warning
H336 P304+P340
P403+P233
P261
P271
P312
P405
P501
 No data were available for single exposure in humans.
 As for experimental animals, it is reported that in a single dose inhalation study for 4 hours in rats, depressed acoustic-startled responses, prostration, lethargy and incoordination were observed, but these anesthetic effects disappeared shortly after exposure (PATTY (6th, 2012), SIDS (2006), ECETOC JACC (2004), EHC 139 (1992)). Therefore, the substance was classified in Category 3 (narcotic effects).
 Besides, it is reported that a single inhalation exposure to this substance for 5 minutes at concentrations of 26,000 ppm or more which is above Category 2 to dogs, followed by intravenous administration of adrenaline 0.008 mg/kg and further exposure to this substance for 5 minutes, induced an increase in cardiac sensitivity to adrenaline (PATTY (6th, 2012), SIDS (2006), ECETOC JACC (2004), EHC 139 (1992)).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Not classified
-
-
- -  As for human, there is a report of liver injury in an epidemiological study on occupational exposure to the mixture of this substance and HCFC123, but it is reported that from the results of animal experiments, they were probably due to HCFC123 which has hepatotoxicity (SIDS (2006)).
 As for experimental animals, in several repeated dose toxicity studies by inhalation route (4 weeks, 90 days, and 24 months) using rats and mice, there were no reports of toxic effects which could be an evidence for GHS Classification and the NOAELs were as high as 5,000-50,000 ppm (SIDS (2006), ECETOC JACC (2004)).
 Therefore, this substance was classified as "Not classified."
