PHYSICAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Explosives Not classified - - - - Not used as explosives, though containing chemical groups associated with explosive properties present.
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 Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lask of data, though the flash point is 174degC.
8 Self-reactive substances and mixtures Classification not possible - - - - Although it includes the grouping in connection with explosive and is understood as autoacceleration, it is not listed in the UN Recommendations. So it cannot be classified.
9 Pyrophoric liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
10 Pyrophoric solids Not classified - - - - Flash point: 174degC and considered as a non-pyrophoric substance at a room temperature
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Classification not possible - - - - Test methods applicable to solid (melting point <= 140degC) 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).
13 Oxidizing liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
14 Oxidizing solids Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data, though containing chlorine bonded to nitrogen.
15 Organic peroxides Not applicable - - - - Organic compounds containing no -0-0- structure
16 Corrosive to metals Classification not possible - - - - Test methods applicable are not available. Melting point: >55degC and solid

HEALTH HAZARDS

1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Category 4 Warning H302: Harmful if swallowed P301+P312: IF SWALLOWED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
P330: Rinse mouth.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Category 4 based on SPECIES: Rat; ENDPOINT: LD50; VALUE: 542 plus or minus 84mg/kg; REFERENCE SOURCE: ACGIH(2001)
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Not classified - - - - Since LD50 >20g/kg (RTECS (2004)) in rabbit dermal administration was over 5000mg/kg (percutaneous 2000mg/kg (Category 4) *2.5), it was set as the outside of Category.
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) Category 5 - Warning H333: May be harmful if inhaled P304+P312: IF INHALED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. Since death was seen at rat 1 hour exposure tests: 20g/m3 (4 hour equivalent: 5mg/L (upper limit of Category 4)) (RTECS (2004)), it was set as Category 5.
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.
Though there is a result of "severe" on rabbit skin (RTECS (2004)), since there was no information about the irreversible impacts, it was classified as Category 2.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - No data available
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 - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
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 ...
Since a cough and a discomfort of breast was seen in human case (ACGIH (2001)), it is classified into Category 3 (respiratory irritation).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - The symptom of the central nervous systems (CNS) has been observed in oral administration test to rats oral of 634kg/kg / 30 D-I (intermittent 30-day medication) (RTECS (2004)). Since this is over the guidance value, it is not adoptable. Since no additional data is available, it cannot be classified.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available on chemical pneumonia

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) Category 1 Warning H400: Very toxic to aquatic life P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P391: Collect spillage.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
It was classified into Category 1 from 48-hour EC50=0.47ppm of Crustacea (Daphnia magna) (AQUIRE, 2003).
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) Category 1 Warning H410: Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P391: Collect spillage.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Classified into Category 1, since acute toxicity was Category 1, supposed not rapidly degrading (BIOWIN), though supposed less bioaccumulative (log Kow=-0.94(PHYSPROP Database, 2005)).
