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) Not classified - - - - Non-flammable (1,1-form) (HSDB, 2006); non-combustible (1,2-form) (ICSC, 1999)
3 Aerosols Not applicable - - - - Not aerosol products
4 Oxidizing gases Classification not possible - - - - No data available
5 Gases under pressure Liquefied gas Warning H280: Contains gas under pressure; may explode if heated P410+P403: Protect from sunlight. Store in a well-ventilated place. The boiling point is 3.4degC (Lide (84th, 2003)) and the critical temperature is 145.6degC (HSDB (2006)), i.e., "liquefied gas" (1,1-form). The boiling point is 4.1degC (ICSC (1999)) and the critical temperature is 145.7degC (Merck (13th, 2001)), i.e., "liquefied gas" (1,2-form).
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

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 - - - - The present substance is considered a non skin irritant, based on the description in the report on guinea pig skin irritation tests (information on concentration and exposure duration missing) (EHC 113 (1990)): "No evidence of irritation" was seen when CFC-114 was sprayed directly to the back of test animals. However, classification is not possible, with only one set of data showing "negative" 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 - - - - Classification not possible due to the insufficiency of data (no data available on in vivo mutagenicity/genotoxicity tests)
6 Carcinogenicity Not classified - - - - Due to the fact that 1,2-dichlorotetrafluoroethane (CFC-114, CAS 76-14-2) is classified as Category A4 (ACGIH (2001)), though no data are available on dichlorotetrafluoroethane (CAS 1320-37-2) per se.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data available Refer to "ID755: Dichlorotetrafluoroethane (CAS No.76-14-2)."
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data available Refer to "ID755: Dichlorotetrafluoroethane (CAS No.76-14-2)."
10 Aspiration hazard Not applicable - - - - Due to the fact that the substance is a gas at ordinary temperatures.
