HEALTH HAZARDS

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 data
1	Acute toxicity （Dermal）	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
1	Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases）	Not applicable	-	-	-	-	Liquid (room temperature)
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.	It was classified as Category 2 based on descriptions that severe skin irritations was seen on rabbits (HSFS (2000)) and that rash and warmth was caused within a short time after exposure on humans (ACGIH (2001)).
3	Serious eye damage/eye irritation	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
4	Respiratory sensitization	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data
4	Skin sensitization	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data
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	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available.
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Category 1 (liver, skin)		Danger	H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (liver, skin)	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 ...	A liver damages is reported in a rabbit and the rat (ACGIH (2001)) and in oral administration for four weeks using rabbit with dose of hexachlorodiphenyl ether 1mg/kg or pentachlorophenyl ether 10 mg/kg (90-day equivalent 4.6 mg/kg) or more, liver damages are observed (ACGIH (2001)). Therefore it was classified to as Category 1 (liver) with reference to the guidance value. Moreover, since there was a statement that acniform dermatitis is occured in the whole body by long-term exposures in humans, it was classified to as Category 1 (skin).
10	Aspiration hazard	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
