As for the isomers with boiling point of >55degC, classification is not possible due to lack of data.

HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Not classified - - - - Based on the rat LD50 (oral route) value of >5,000mg/kg (RTECS (2006)) (1,3-dichloro-1,1,2,2,3-pentafluoropropane, and 3,3-dichloro-1,1,1,2,2-pentafluoropropane)
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - Based on the available rat LD50 (dermal route) of >2,000mg/kg (RTECS (2006)), the substance can be "Not classified" or classified as Category 5. However, there are insufficient data available to serve as a basis for classification into Category 5. (1,3-dichloro-1,1,2,2,3-pentafluoropropane, and 3,3-dichloro-1,1,1,2,2-pentafluoropropane)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Due to the fact that the substance is a liquid according to the GHS definition and inhalation of its gas is not expected.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Category 5 - Warning H333: May be harmful if inhaled P304+P312: IF INHALED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. Based on the rat LC50 (inhalation of vapour) value of 262.78mg/L (4 hours) (RTECS (2006)) was lower than 90% of the saturated vapour concentration (377,000ppm) under a saturated vapour pressure of 286mmHg (25degC) [equivalent to 38.1kPa (25degC)] (HSDB (2006)), the substance was considered as "vapour" and was classified into Category 5. (1,3-dichloro-1,1,2,2,3-pentafluoropropane) Based on the rat LC50 (inhalation of vapour) value of 309.6mg/L (4 hours) (RTECS (2006)) was lower than 90% of the saturated vapour concentration (317,000ppm) under a saturated vapour pressure of 240mmHg (25degC) [equivalent to 32.0kPa (25degC)] (HSDB (2006)), the substance was considered as "vapour" and was classified into Category 5. (3,3-dichloro-1,1,1,2,2-pentafluoropropane)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
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 3 (Narcotic effects, Respiratory tract irritation) Warning H335: May cause respiratory irritation (narcotic effects, respiratory tract irritation)
H336: May cause drowsiness or dizziness (narcotic effects, respiratory tract irritation)
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 evidence from animal studies including "somnolency," and "structural or functional changes in the trachea or bronchi" (RTECS (2006)).
