1. Introduction
Thank you for using the GHS Mixture Classification and Labels Create System (NITEGmiccs; hereinafter this/the system). The purpose of the system is to help business operatorsclassify and label a mixture (product) to manage it according to GHS. The system provides
the following functions: inputting information of chemical substances included andcomposition, inputting GHS classification for each chemical substance included, classifying a
mixture (product) according to GHS, and outputting label information. This operating
manual describes how to configure and use the system. The manual describes how to set up
and use the NITE-Gmiccs.
In this manual, a chemical substance and a mixture (product) are defined as follows,
Chemical substance: a chemical element or its compound which is included in a target
product.
Mixture (Product): Mixture or solution composed of two or more substances in which they
do not react. This system classifies a Mixture (Product).

1.1. Overview of mixture classification with this system
Step 1. Enter information of chemical substances included and composition by manualentry or uploading an Excel file.
Step 2. Enter GHS classification for each component substance by manual entry or
uploading an Excel file.
Step 3 The system automatically classifies a mixture (product) and displays theclassification.
Step 4 Output GHS classification into a label after entering corporate information.

NITE-Gmiccs Operating Manual
1.2. Overview of function
The main functions of the system are as follows.

Classifying automatically according to GHS, and generating elements of label
The system automatically classifies a target substance or product based on informationof it (shape, flash point, composition included, etc.), and outputs the elements of label.
Select a version of GHS from “UN” and “JIS”, "UN" is GHS (Rev.6). If you are required tomake SDS in accordance with national law, select the JIS as much as possible.
* Test data on a mixture itself are necessary for physical and chemical properties in principle. The system targets
health and environmental hazards. For detailed classification logic, please refer to “NITE-Gmiccs classification
Logic”

Managing substance information
The system has GHS classification data which are approximately 3000 substances thathave been published by "National Institute of Technology and Evaluation" (NITE). If you
need to register other substances, you are required to register them by yourself and use
them as composition of the target product. For detailed classification logic, please refer to“List of chemical substances registered in NITE-Gmiccs” on the "Listings" tab of NITEGmiccs.
* The system assigned our original name to some of substances acquired from NITE, and we add it the mark ("*") infront of the name.

Importing and exporting mixture (product) information, information on each chemical
substance, and GHS classification and label information for a mixture (product)
The system can export and import information on a chemical substance or mixture(product) in the specified format (CSV). It can also export GHS classification and label
information for a product in the specified format (xlsx).
Seamless access to Japanese and English pages
You can move to the English page from any Japanese page, vice versa, and selectJapanese or English when exporting a file.
Grouping two or more names of target organs
The system can group two or more names of target organs in STOT classification byoriginal rule, and output simplified elements of label. For details of this function, see"Supplement 1: Grouping names of target organs"
Narrowing down precautionary statements
The system can narrow down precautionary statements to four levels by original rule,and output simplified elements of label. For details of the function, see " Supplement 2:
Narrowing down precautionary statements"-2-

1.3. Operating environment
Browser
The system is operational under Internet. Please make sure one of the followingbrowsers is installed in your device.
Microsoft Edge
Caution: The system may not be functional if you use another browser or version.
Available time
24 hours a day

1.4. Usage of this system
Data sharing
You cannot share the information you registered in this system with other users.
Therefore, other users can never refer to the information you registered in the system.
Common data are limited to integrated GHS classifications, prepared by NITE, which
can be used as a reference (cannot be modified).
Data erasing
All registered information will be deleted after a certain time. However, data will not be
erased as long as you keep using the system (such as opening a page, moving to anotherpage, searching or updating data).
The following is when the system deletes data,
A browser page(s) is kept open for about 120minutes, without any use.
When you close all browser pages and start using from the top page of the system.

Supplement 1. Grouping names of target organs
This system can systematically group names of target organs displayed as a classification
result of the specific target organ toxicity with according to an original standard.
e.g.:(Before grouping organs)
Specific target organ toxicity - single exposure
Category 1 (respiratory, upper respiratory tract, nervous system, central nervous system, brain)↓(After grouping organ)
Specific target organ toxicity - single exposure
Category 1 (respiratory system, nervous system)
Regarding ON/ OFF of this function, please refer to "2.5.2. Conducting GHS classification."
For details, see the attached sheet “About the grouping organs”.

Supplement 2. Narrowing down precautionary statements
Precautionary statements are refined into the following 4 levels based on “7. Guidance on
the Selection of Precautionary statements for the CLP Hazard Label” in “Guidance on
Labelling and Packaging in Accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008,” taking into
consideration the revised 4th edition of the GHS.
The four refinement levels are as follows, with smaller numbers indicating a higher level ofprecedence when included on labelling:
1. Strong recommendation (for industrial/professional users)
2. Strong recommendation (in consideration of applications other than [1] above)
3. Recommendation
4. Voluntary
1.Strong

Level 12.Strong

Supplement 3. GHS classification for water
There is no GHS classification for water (CAS: 7732-18-5) by the Japanese Government.
However, this system registers water in initial settings. The classifications are “Not classified” or“Not classified (Not applicable)” for all.

Supplement 4. United Nations (UN) numberThis number is added to a substance and product which has danger in transporting. If United
Nations judges the product or substance as dangerous, this number is added to it. This system
has a function to estimate physical hazards based on a UN number. Therefore, if a target
product has a UN number, please make sure to enter it.
