PHYSICAL HAZARDS
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Explosives | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | There are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties present in the molecules. |
| 2 | Flammable gases （including chemically unstable gases） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 3 | Aerosols | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Not aerosol products |
| 4 | Oxidizing gases | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 5 | Gases under pressure | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 6 | Flammable liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 7 | Flammable solids | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Non-combustible (ICSC, 2004;HSDB, 2005) |
| 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 applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 10 | Pyrophoric solids | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Non-combustible (ICSC, 2004; HSDB, 2005) |
| 11 | Self-heating substances and mixtures | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Not combustible (ICSC (2004), HSDB (2005)) |
| 12 | Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Since no dissolution to the water is checked, it is stable to the water. (ICSC (2004), HSDB (2005)) |
| 13 | Oxidizing liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 14 | Oxidizing solids | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 15 | Organic peroxides | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Inorganic substance |
| 16 | Corrosive to metals | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Test methods applicable to solid substances are not available. |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Oral） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 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 | - | - | - | - | Since this product is solid form and most vapor pressures can be disregarded, it is thought that the inhalation study was done with the dust. Since there was no study in which LC50 value was acquired, data is insufficient and it cannot be classified. |
| 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. |
Based on the description of redness and moderate irritation on humans (ICSC (J) (2004), IUCLID (2000)), 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. |
Based on the description with corrosive in humans (IUCLID (2000)), it was set as Category 1. |
| 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 | - | - | - | - | There were no in vivo test results and there was no strong positive finding of multiple indices for the in vitro test. Therefore we presupposed that we could not categorize it according to the technical guideline. |
| 6 | Carcinogenicity | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Based on being classified into A4 according to ACGIH, it carried out the outside of Category. |
| 7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 3 （Respiratory tract irritation） |
|
Warning | H335: May cause respiratory irritation (respiratory tract irritation) |
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. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
The coughing was seen in humans and it is classified into Category 3 (respiratory irritation) based on the publication that there is also closeness (ICSC (J), (2004), IUCLID (2000)). |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 1 (respiratory system) |
|
Danger | H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (respiratory system) |
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 ... |
There is the statement that although abnormalities are fround on a chest x-rays test in humans, it is clinically satisfactory (ACGIH (2001)), and there is also a statement if it accumulates in a lungs, it will become siderosis, but it is benign and does not progress to fibrosis (ACGIH (2001)). Moreover, there is a statement that metal fevers may be occured by exposure (IUCLID (2000)) . Since the lung effects was seen inspite of being benign, and metal fevers might be affected, it was classified into Category 1 (respiratory systems). |
| 10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Acute） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Insufficient data available. |
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data |
