HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Category 5 - Warning H303: May be harmful if swallowed P312: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell.

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 - - - - Based on the absence of data on multi-generation mutagenicity tests, germ/somatic cell mutagenicity tests in vivo and germ/somatic cell genotoxicity tests in vivo, and no positive data on mutagenicity tests in vitro (several indices), described in CERI Hazard Data 2000-15 (2001) and NTP DB (Access on March 2006).

Based on the human evidence including "change in WBC and decrease in hemoglobin levels," and the evidence from animal studies including "hyaline droplet degeneration of proximal renal tubules." The effects on experimental animals were observed at dosing levels within the guidance value ranges for Category 2.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data on dynamic viscosity, though the substance is a hydrocarbon.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) Category 2 - - H401: Toxic to aquatic life P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
It was classified into Category 2 from 48 hours EC50=1.87mg/L of the crustacea (Daphnia magna) (CERI/NITE Hazard Assessment Report (preliminary version), 2006).
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) Category 2 - H411: Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P391: Collect spillage.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Although acute toxicity was Category 2 and the bio-accumulation potential was low (BCF=211(Existing Chemical Safety Inspections Data)), since there was no rapidly degrading (the decomposition by BOD: 0%(Existing Chemical Safety Inspections Data)), it was classified into Category 2.
