| 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 | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 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 | - | - | - | - | Flash point: 420degC (ICSC, 2000; NFPA, 13th, 2002; HSDB, 2005) |
| 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 classified | - | - | - | - | Stable to water (the water solubility is obtained) (ICSC (2000), Merck (13th, 2001), SRC (2006)) |
| 13 | Oxidizing liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 14 | Oxidizing solids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Organic compounds containing oxygen (but not chlorine and fluorine) and the oxygen is chemically bonded only to carbon (but not to other elements). |
| 15 | Organic peroxides | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Organic compounds containing no -0-0- structure |
| 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） | Not classified | - | - | - | - | SPECIES: Rat ENDPOINT: LD50 VALUE: > 5000 mg/kg REFERENCE SOURCE: EU-RAR (2004) |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Dermal） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data |
| 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） | Not classified | - | - | - | - | The saturated vapor pressures concentrations pressure of this product is a value near 0, and it is thought that the inhalation study was done with the dust. Based on rat LC50 >50mg/L (EU-RAR (2004)), it was set as the outside of Category. |
| 2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Category 3 | - | Warning | H316: Causes mild skin irritation | P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. | It was set as Category 3 based on what the possibility of the skin stimulus for humans is indicated (ACGIH (2001)). |
| 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. |
Based on the statement that there is the possibility of eye irritations in humans, it was set as Category 2B. |
| 4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data |
| 4 | Skin sensitization | Not classified | - | - | - | - | We classified it as Out Of Category based on the publications that skin sensitization was not seen in the human patch test (EU-RAR (2004)), and that it has no skin sensitization property for human(IUCLID (2000)). |
| 5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | There is no in vivo mutagenicity test result, and multiple indices has not resulted in positive in in vitro examination. So it was presupposed that it cannot be classified. |
| 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 ... |
It was set as Category 3 (respiratory irritant) based on the possibility of respiratory irritant in humans that is stated (ACGIH (2001), EU-RAR (2004)) . |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data |
| 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 | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
