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.	Based on the rat LD50 (oral route) value of 3,160mg/kg (IARC 27 (1982)).
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 "solid" 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	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 are available on in vivo studies. When tested in vitro, the substance was only slightly positive in gene mutation tests (reverse mutation assay and mouse lymphoma assay) and negative in chromosome aberration tests, described in NTP DB (Access on June 2006), IARC 27 (1982) and DFGOT Vol. 1 (1990). Classification is not possible since the results obtained are not sufficient to include the substance in Category 2.
6	Carcinogenicity	Category 2		Warning	H351: Suspected of causing cancer	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 ...	Due to the fact that the substance is classified as Category R by NTP (2005) and Category B2 by EPA (1990).
7	Reproductive toxicity	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	Insufficient data available
10	Aspiration hazard	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

Hazard class		Classification	Symbol	Signal word	Hazard statement	Precautionary statement	Rationale for the classification
11	Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Acute）	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
11	Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term）	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
