PHYSICAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Explosives Not applicable - - - - Gas (GHS definition)
2 Flammable gases (including chemically unstable gases) Category 1 Danger H220: Extremely flammable gas P210: Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking.
P377: Leaking gas fire: Do not extinguish, unless leak can be stopped safely.
P381: Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so.
P403: Store in a well-ventilated place.
Category 1 because the lower flammable limit is 1.37-100 vol%.
3 Aerosols Not applicable - - - - Not aerosol products
4 Oxidizing gases Not classified - - - - The substance is a reducing agent.
5 Gases under pressure Compressed gas Warning H280: Contains gas under pressure; may explode if heated P410+P403: Protect from sunlight. Store in a well-ventilated place. Compressed gas because of "the critical temp: -4degC" (Hommel, 1991) and the actual state in a usual circulation.
6 Flammable liquids Not applicable - - - - Gas (GHS definition)
7 Flammable solids Not applicable - - - - Gas (GHS definition)
8 Self-reactive substances and mixtures Not applicable - - - - Gas (GHS definition)
9 Pyrophoric liquids Not applicable - - - - Gas (GHS definition)
10 Pyrophoric solids Not applicable - - - - Gas (GHS definition)
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Not applicable - - - - Gas (GHS definition)
12 Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases Not applicable - - - - Gas (GHS definition)
13 Oxidizing liquids Not applicable - - - - Gas (GHS definition)
14 Oxidizing solids Not applicable - - - - Gas (GHS definition)
15 Organic peroxides Not applicable - - - - Gas (GHS definition)
16 Corrosive to metals Classification not possible - - - - Test methods applicable to gas substances are not available

HEALTH HAZARDS
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) Category 5 - Warning H333: May be harmful if inhaled P304+P312: IF INHALED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. It become out of Category 4 according to rat LC50 = 9600ppm/4hr (ACGIH (7th, 2001)) (Priority 1 document). But rat LC50 = 4000ppm/4hr (HSDB (2005)) (Priority 2 document) are suitable for Category 4. And there are the nonsurviving animals up to the dose to Category 4, it was considered as Category 5.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Not applicable - - - - Gas (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Not applicable - - - - Gas (GHS definition)
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.
There are description that indicates skin irritation on humans (ACGIH (7th, 2001), ICSC (J) (1997), HSFS (2001), and SITTIG (4th, 2002)). The animal examination data can be used as segment indicators was not found. But there are descriptions of "strong stimulative" (HSFS (2001) and SITTIG (4th, 2002)) and with regard of safety, it was classified as Category 2.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 2A Warning H319: Causes serious 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.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
ACGIH (7th, 2001), ICSC (J), (1997), HSFS (2001), and SITTIG (4th, 2002) have description which indicates eye irritations in humans. Although the data of the animal tests used as the index of subdividing was not found. But it was set as Category 2A in consideration that there is the statement of "severe irritations", and of the safety.
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 - - - - The in vivo test data was not found and there was one positive in vitro report by the reverse mutation test (RTECS, 2004), however, we could not classify it since data was insufficient.
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 ...
Classified as Category 3 (respiratory irritant) because ICSC (J) (1997), HSFS (2001) and SITTIG (4th, 2002) have descriptions that respiratory irritation is found in humans.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 2 (lung) Warning H373: May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (lung) P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
There is a statement that a pulmonary fibrosis is occured in humans (DHP (13th, 2002) of Priority 2 document), and it was classified into Category 2 (lungs).
10 Aspiration hazard Not applicable - - - - Gas (GHS definition)
