9 Pyrophoric liquids Not classified - - - - UNRTDG Class: 3
10 Pyrophoric solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Not classified - - - - UNRTDG Class: 3 (flammable liquids)

16 Corrosive to metals Not classified - - - - It is judged that there is no corrosion behavior. "steel, stainless steels and aluminum are durable as a container. Existence of acetylene will corrode copper. (Hommmel (1991)) "

HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Not classified - - - - Not classified because of SPECIES: Rat; 15400mg/kg; REFERENCE SOURCE: DFGOTvol.19 (2003)
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Not classified - - - - It was set as the outside of Category from rabbit data of LD50 >17400mg/kg (DFGOT vol.19 (2003)).
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Category 5 - Warning H333: May be harmful if inhaled P304+P312: IF INHALED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. The value with which 4 out of 6 animals died was 8000ppm (37.93 mg/L) (DFGOT vol.19 (2003)), and LC50 was presumed to be larger than 5000 ppm of Category 4. So it was classified as Category 5.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Category 3 - Warning H316: Causes mild skin irritation P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. There was also a report of negative on humans (DFGOTvol.19 (2003)). But it was classified as Category 3 based on the results of MILD and Moderate as a result of animal examination on rabbits (RTECS (2004)).
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.
It was set as Category 2B by the test results of Moderate (RTECS (2004)) and slight eye irritation (DFGTO vol.19 (2003)) to the rabbit.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - Since there is no report, respiratory sensitization cannot be classified.
4 Skin sensitization Not classified - - - - Skin sensitization was put outside of the division,based on the report that sensitization was not identified by the the skin sensitization examination in both humans and animals(DFGOT vol.19, (2003)).
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - There was a negative result (DFGOT vol.19 (2003)) for in vitro test, however, there were no in vivo test results. Therefore we presupposed that we could not classify it according to the technical guideline.
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data with IARC, NTP, Japan Society for Occupational Health, etc.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - There is no valid data of reproductive toxicity and developmental toxicity. However, it is classified into the pregnancy risk group C in MAK (DFGOTvol.19 (2003)).
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data available.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data on an animal experimentation, though the dynamic viscosity: 0.80mm2/s at 20degC.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) Category 3 - - H402: Harmful to aquatic life P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
It was classified into Category 3 from 96-hour LC50=17mg/L of fishes (Oryzias latipes) (MOE eco-toxicity tests of chemicals, 1999).
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) Not classified - - - - Since rapidly degrading (it hydrolyzed and acetic acid and iso-butanol are generated), and supposed less bio-accumulative (log Kow=1.78 (PHYSPROP Database, 2005)).
