PHYSICAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Explosives Not applicable - - - - Gas (GHS definition)
2 Flammable gases (including chemically unstable gases) Not classified - - - - UNRTDG Class: 2.1. Non-combustible or hardly flammable gas (Hommel, 1991) and non-combustible (ICSC(J), 19XX)

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) Not classified - - - - Based on rat inhalation LC50 = 49900ppm (4hr) (ACGIH (2001)), it was considered as the outside of Category.
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 Category 3 - Warning H316: Causes mild skin irritation P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. Based on a report that mild irritation arises with 25% or more of concentration to intact skin in the examination on guinea pigs report (EHC 126 (1991)), it was classified as Category 3. [Notes] There is also a report that it was a frostbite caused by coolant effect (Hommmel (1991)).
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 2B - Warning H320: Causes eye irritation P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
P337+P313: If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
Since reversible Milder irritant effects (EHC 126 (1991)) were reported in solution 15% by the examination of the rabbit, it was set as Category 2B.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data
4 Skin sensitization Not classified - - - - Classified as out of category based on the report that finds no sensitization in the experiment by the Maximization method using guinea pigs (CERI Hazard Data (2000)), and the description that guinea pig tests shows no sensitization (EHC 126 (1991), ECETOC JACC16 (1990), PATTY(5th, 2001) vol.5).
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - It was decided that the substance could not be classified because there are no data from in vivo tests, and there are no positive results from the in vitro mutagenicity tests (EHC 126 (1991), DFGOT vol.5 (1993)).
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
7 Reproductive toxicity Category 2 Warning H361: Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child P308+P313: IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention.
P201: Obtain special instructions before use.
P202: Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood.
P281: Use personal protective equipment as required.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
It is reported that loss of implantation in the amount of administration causing the reduced weight of parent animals in the test using rat (EHC 126 (1991), ACGIH (2001)). So it was considered as in the Category 2. ,
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 3 (Narcotic effects) Warning H336: May cause drowsiness or dizziness (narcotic effects) P304+P340: IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
P403+P233: Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed.
P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P271: Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
P312: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Based on the report of anesthetic actions in rat and guinea pig, it was classified into Category 3 (anesthetic actions).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (liver) Danger H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (liver) 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.
P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Since Cirrhosis is observed histopathologically in rat at 50 ppm (EHC 126 (1991)) and despite out of guidance value, the necrosis of liver was also observed at 10000 ppm (EHC 126 (1991), ACGIH (2001)), it was classified into Category 1 (liver).
10 Aspiration hazard Not applicable - - - - Gas (GHS definition)
