[Rationale for the Classification] Based on classification results by other organizations in (1), it was classified in Category 2 in accordance with the GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government. [Evidence Data] (1) As for classification results by domestic and international organizations, it was classified in 2B by IARC (IARC 71 (1999)), in 2B by Japan Society For Occupational Health (JSOH) (Recommendation of Occupational Exposure Limits (proposed in 1991)), as R by NTP (NTP RoC (14th, 2016)), in Carc.2 in EU CLP (EU CLP classification (Access on October 2019)). |

Warning |
H335 |
P304+P340
P403+P233 P261 P271 P312 P405 P501 |
[Rationale for the Classification] There are no reports on single exposure to this substance in humans. Based on (1) and (2), since in the case of inhalation exposure, it was considered to show respiratory tract irritation, it was classified in Category 3 (respiratory tract irritation). [Evidence Data] (1) It was described that the mist of this substance may be irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract (HSDB (Access on October 2019)). (2) There was a description that this substance showed strong irritation to the skin and eyes of rabbits (DFGOT vol.7 (1996)). [Reference Data, etc.] (3) In a single oral administration test with rats, dyspnea and central nervous system depression were observed. There is no description of the minimum dose where effects were observed. However, if they were observed at around 2,570 mg/kg, the LD50 value, this would correspond to exceeding the range of Category 2 (DFGOT vol.7 (1996)). |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | * |
- |
- | - |
[Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1) and (2), as a result of testing in the oral route in experimental animals, only lesions of the forestomach considered to be due to irritation were observed within the range for Category 1 and Category 2. Therefore, it was judged as "Not classified." As for other routes, classification was not possible due to lack of data. [Evidence Data] (1) In a 13-week repeated-dose toxicity test with rats dosed by gavage, lesions of the forestomach were observed. Also a reduced body weight gain was observed in males at or above 100 mg/kg/day (converted guidance value: 72 mg/kg/day, within the range of Category 2), and at 200 mg/kg/day (converted guidance value: 144 mg/kg/day, exceeding the range of Category 2), death (1/10 animals) and minimal to mild centrilobular fatty metamorphosis (only control and high-dose groups were tested) were observed in males, and a reduced body weight gain was observed in females (NTP TR257 (1986), DFGOT vol.7 (1996)). (2) In a 13-week repeated-dose toxicity test with mice dosed by gavage, lesions of the forestomach were observed. Deaths (male: 9/10, female: 7/10), focal necrosis and fatty metamorphosis in the liver (only control and high-dose groups were tested) were also observed in males and females at 400 mg/kg/day (converted guidance value: 289 mg/kg/day, exceeding the range of Category 2) (NTP TR257 (1986), DFGOT vol.7 (1996)). |
