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 (ICSC, 1999)
3 Aerosols Not applicable - - - - Not aerosol products

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 the rat LC50 (4 hour inhalation) value of 31,300ppm representing the lower of the two testing data, 31,300ppm and 50,000ppm (IUCLID (2000)).
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 (heart), Category 2 (nervous system, blood system), Category 3 (narcotic effects, respiratory tract irritation) Danger
Warning
H370: Causes damage to organs (heart)
H371: May cause damage to organs (nervous system, blood system)
H336: May cause drowsiness or dizziness (narcotic effects, respiratory tract irritation)
H335: May cause respiratory irritation (narcotic effects, respiratory tract irritation)
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 ...
P309+P311: IF exposed or if you feel unwell: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
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.
Based on the human evidence: "cardio-effects occur during exercise" (PATTY (4th, 1999)), "brain edema, methemoglobin " "recovery from dizziness and paresthesia" (HSDB (1999)), "Bromochlorodifluoromethane irritates the eye, nose and throat" (HSFS (1998)). Also based on the evidence from animal studies: "Slight tremors characterized the clinical toxicity after 12 minutes. All mice recovered very rapidly following cessation of exposure" (HSDB (1999)).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data available
10 Aspiration hazard Not applicable - - - - Not applicable
