PHYSICAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Explosives Not applicable - - - - Classified as "gas" according to GHS definition
2 Flammable gases (including chemically unstable gases) Category 1 Danger H220: Extremely flammable gas P210: Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking.
P377: Leaking gas fire: Do not extinguish, unless leak can be stopped safely.
P381: Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so.
P403: Store in a well-ventilated place.
Because of a lack of data (Explosive, when mixed with air, according to ICSC (1999), though the literature shows no explosion limits). Classified into Division 2.1 and Division 2.3 (UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, UN#2676)
3 Aerosols Not applicable - - - - Not aerosol products
4 Oxidizing gases Not classified - - - - Classified into Division 2.1 and Division 2.3 (UN#2676) (UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods)
5 Gases under pressure Classification not possible - - - - No data available. The boiling point is -18degC (ICSC, 1999), while the substance decomposes gradually at room temperatures and rapidly at 200degC, according to ICSC (1999). The critical temperature appears to be above 65degC, which suggests that the substance can be classified as "liquefied gas."
6 Flammable liquids Not applicable - - - - Classified as "gas" according to GHS definition
7 Flammable solids Not applicable - - - - Classified as "gas" according to GHS definition
8 Self-reactive substances and mixtures Not applicable - - - - Classified as "gas" according to GHS definition
9 Pyrophoric liquids Not applicable - - - - Classified as "gas" according to GHS definition
10 Pyrophoric solids Not applicable - - - - Classified as "gas" according to GHS definition
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Not applicable - - - - Classified as "gas" according to GHS definition
12 Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases Not applicable - - - - Classified as "gas" according to GHS definition
13 Oxidizing liquids Not applicable - - - - Classified as "gas" according to GHS definition
14 Oxidizing solids Not applicable - - - - Classified as "gas" according to GHS definition
15 Organic peroxides Not applicable - - - - Classified as "gas" according to GHS definition
16 Corrosive to metals Classification not possible - - - - Test methods applicable to gaseous substances are not available.

HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Not applicable - - - - Due to the fact that the substance is "gas" according to the GHS definition and inhalation of its vapour is not expected.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Not applicable - - - - Due to the fact that the substance is "gas" according to the GHS definition and inhalation of its dust/mist is not expected.
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Classification not possible - - - - No data available
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - No data available
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 1 (kidney, respiratory system, blood) Danger H370: Causes damage to organs (kidney, respiratory system, blood) P307+P311: IF exposed: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
P321: Specific treatment (see ... on this label).
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Based on the human evidence including "debility, headache, gastralgia, hematuria associated with nausea" (ACGIH (7th, 2001)), and the evidence from animal studies including "renal tubular dilation, pulmonary edema" (ATSDR (1992)), "pulmonary congestion and edema" (ACGIH (7th ,2001)) and "severe anemia, hemoglobinuria" (HSDB (2002)). The effects on experimental animals were observed at dosing levels within the guidance value ranges for Category 1.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data available
10 Aspiration hazard Not applicable - - - - Due to the fact that the substance is a gas at ordinary temperatures.
