Category 4 because of its flash point: 78.3degC and liquid |
| 7 | Flammable solids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Liquid (GHS definition) |
| 8 | Self-reactive substances and mixtures | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | There are no chemical groups associated with explosive or self-reactive properties present in the molecule. |
| 9 | Pyrophoric liquids | Not classified | - | - | - | - | With no information on spontaneous combustibility. By UN transportation Recommendations, it is non-dangerous substances. |
| 10 | Pyrophoric solids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Liquid (GHS definition) |
| 11 | Self-heating substances and mixtures | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Test methods applicable to liquid substances are not available |
| 12 | Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | The chemical structure of the substance does not contain metals or metaloids(B, Si, P, Ge, As, Se, Sn, Sb, Te, Bi, Po, At). |

| 14 | Oxidizing solids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Liquid (GHS definition) |
| 15 | Organic peroxides | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Containing no oxygen |
| 16 | Corrosive to metals | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Oral） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of clear data on LD50 |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Dermal） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Liquid (GHS definition) |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Vapor pressures 1.1mmHg at 25degC is equivalent to 6875mg/m3. Since LC50: 14gm/m3 (RTECS (2004)) of the Soviet literature is over this value, it may be mist. Supposing that the temperature was raised and experiment was conducted with steam, there is potential of Category 4. |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | LC50: 14g/m3 (the Soviet literature (RTECS (2004)) is unknown in steam or mist. Since it is 2.8 times of the maximum (5mg/m3) of category 4 if it is mist, it was set as the outside of Category. There is no information which can be used. |
| 2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Category 3 | - | Warning | H316: Causes mild skin irritation | P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. | There is a report of human dermatitis. Since it was not considered to be serious, it was classified as "Category 3." |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 2A-2B |
|
Warning | H319: Causes serious 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. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. |
There is eye stimulate data to human (HSDB (2005)). However, since recovery period is not indicated, the result between 2A and 2B cannot be performed. |
| 4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | The information on respiratory sensitization has not been obtained. |
| 4 | Skin sensitization | Category 1 |
|
Warning | H317: May cause an allergic skin reaction |
P302+P352: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. P333+P313: If skin irritation or rash occurs: Get medical advice/attention. P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P272: Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）. P363: Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Since case reports on the human skin sensitization (HSDB (2005)) are found , it was referred to as Category 1. |
| 5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data |
| 6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | The information on the carcinogenic was not acquired. There is also no existing classifications. |
| 7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data on toxic to rproduction |
| 8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 2 (liver, kidney, spleen), Category 3 (respiratory tract irritation) |
|
Warning |
H371: May cause damage to organs (liver, kidney, spleen) H335: May cause respiratory irritation (respiratory tract irritation) |
P309+P311: IF exposed or if you feel unwell: 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. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 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. |
Although there is the effect to the liver, kidney, spleen in human inhalation exposure and animals inhalation test, it was the literature of Priority 2, it is classified into "Category 2." Since the respiratory irritation was also suggested, it is classified into "Category 3." |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 1 (liver, kidney) |
|
Danger | H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (liver, kidney) |
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. P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Since the effects on the renal and liver is seen as a result of continuous exposure with the concentration below the guidance value of Category 1 in the animal experiment (ACGIH (2001)), it was classified to as "Category 1". |
| 10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Although there was a report of the chemical pneumonia by aspiration in laboratory animals, we could not find the viscosity data and it could not be classified along the technical guideline. |
| 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. |
