The flash point is 92degC (ICSC (2004)), which is classified into Category 4 |
| 7 | Flammable solids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Classified as "liquid" according to GHS definition |
| 8 | Self-reactive substances and mixtures | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data, though containing unsaturated bonds (olefin). |
| 9 | Pyrophoric liquids | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 10 | Pyrophoric solids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Classified as "liquid" according to GHS definition |
| 11 | Self-heating substances and mixtures | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Test methods applicable to liquid substances are not available. |

| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Oral） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Insufficient data available |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Dermal） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Due to the fact that the substance is "liquid" according to the GHS definition and inhalation of its gas is not expected. |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Category 2 |
|
Warning | H315: Causes skin irritation |
P302+P352: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）. P362: Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. |
Based on the description in the report on rabbit skin irritation tests (exposure duration unknown) (CERI Hazard Data 2001-22 (2002)): "Moderate irritation." |
| 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. |
Based on the description in the report on rabbit eye irritation tests (CERI Hazard Data 2001-22 (2002)): "Mild irritation." |
| 4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Both negative and positive responses were seen for cross-sensitization in human epidemiological studies (CERI Hazard Data 2001-22 (2002)), whereas guinea pig skin sensitization tests performed according to Maximization Method showed "positive." These inconsistent results do not allow the presence or absence of skin sensitization to be determined, and thus classification is not possible. |
| 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 | 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 ... |
Based on the evidence of adverse effects on pup development (such as decreased number of live borns) at doses producing parental toxicity, described in CERI Hazard Data 2001-22 (2002), Report by the Ministry of Health and Labour and Welfare (1998). |
| 8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Insufficient data available |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Insufficient data available |
| 10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 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 96 hours LC50=2780microg/L of the fish (Oryzias Latipest) (MOE Risk Assessment vol. 3 (2004) and others.). |
| 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 there was rapidly degrading (the decomposition by BOD: 88%(Existing Chemical Safety Inspections Data)), since there was bio-accumulation (log Kow=4.54(PHYSPROP Database, 2005)), it was classified into Category 2. |
