HEALTH HAZARDS
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: > 7 g/kg REFERENCE SOURCE: IUCLID (2000)
1 Acute toxicity （Dermal） Not classified - - - - Based on no death (IUCLID (2000)) at rat LD50 >2000mg/kg, and it was set as the outside of Category.
1 Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） Not applicable - - - - Liquid (room temperature)
1 Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours） Category 4 Warning H332: Harmful if inhaled P304+P340: IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
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. 		It was classified as Category 4 based on rat LC50 = 3400ppm (ACGIH (2001)).
1 Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists） Classification not possible - - - - No data available
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 moderately irritating (IUCLID (2000)), it was set as Category 2 to the rabbit skin by Draize examination (GLP).
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Not classified - - - - Based on the statement that there is no irritation to a rabbit eye by Draize examination (GLP), it was set as the outside of Category.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data
4 Skin sensitization Not classified - - - - We classified it to be Out Of Category based on the statement that it has no skin sensitization property (IUCLID (2000)) for the Buehler tests (GLP) using the guinea pigs.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Not classified - - - - Based on the statement that the result of in vivo chromosomal aberration test (somatic cell in vivo mutagenicity test) on rat bone marrow cell was negative (IUCLID (2000)), it was classified as out of Category.
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - It cannot be categoried by a technological direction since there is only the EU classification. [Notes] It is considered as Cat.2;R45 (May cause cancer) (EU (2006)) in the EU classification for Naphthas (CAS No.64741-42-0 (full-range straight run).
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) by the statement which stimulates the human upper respiratory tract (ACGIH (2001)).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - As far as the prolonged repeated exposure test reports using naphthas investigated, it was not seen, and it was presupposed that it was unable to be taxonomic according to lack of information.
10 Aspiration hazard Category 1 Danger H304: May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways P301+P310: IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
P331: Do NOT induce vomiting.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		We classified it as Category 1 based on the statement that in all species used in the experiment, if a small quantity of petroleum solvent (petroleum naphtha) enters into the airway it causes chemical pneumonia (EHC (1982)), and based on the classification of Xn;R65 (Harmful:may cause lung damage if swallowed) for the EU categorization.
