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).
13 Oxidizing liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
14 Oxidizing solids Not applicable - - - - Organic compounds containing oxygen and chlorine (but not fluorine) and the oxygen and chlorine are chemically bonded only to carbon.
15 Organic peroxides Not applicable - - - - Organic compounds containing no -0-0- structure

1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
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.
The chemical burns was seen on humans (IRIS (1981)), and erythema, edema and exfoliation was reported for animals (ACGIH (2001)), therefore, it was classified as Category 2 .
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 1 Danger H318: Causes serious eye damage P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
It was set as Category 1 based on the publication that an irreversible severe corneal disorder is seen by animal studies and iritis, conjunctivitis, blepharitis, etc. are seen (ACGIH (2001)).
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data
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 there is a statement that skin sensitization exsists in humans (IRIS (1991), ACGIH (2001)) and it has also been identified in animals(ACGIH (2001)), it was referred to as Category 1.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - We found no in vivo mutagenicity test results and no in vitro strong positive result in multiple indices. Therefore we presupposed that we could not categorize it according to technical guideline.
6 Carcinogenicity Not classified - - - - Based on what is categoried according to ACGIH with A4 (ACGIH (2001)), it carried out the outside of Category by the technical guide.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 2 (respiratory system), Category 3 (narcotic effects) Warning H371: May cause damage to organs (respiratory system)
H336: May cause drowsiness or dizziness (narcotic effects)
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 are pulmonary oedema, and irritation to nose/throat, and laryngotracheo-bronchitis occurs with coughing, and dyspnoea, almost all of these symptoms are recovered after the cancel of the exposure in human (IRIS (1991), ACGIH (7th, 2001), RTECS (2004)), it is classified into Category 2 (respiratory tract system). There is the description that there are the symptoms such as general fatigue, lethargica, faint (IRIS (1991)). So it is classified into Category 3 (anesthetic action).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (lung) Danger H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (lung) 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 ...
It was classified to as Category 1 (lung) based on description of congestion and edema of lungs of humans (ACGIH (7th, 2001)).
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available
