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. |
Ignitable when in a mixture of 13% or less by volume in air. UNRTDG Class: 2.1 |
| 3 | Aerosols | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Not aerosol products |
| 4 | Oxidizing gases | Not classified | - | - | - | - | UNRTDG Class: 2.1 |
| 5 | Gases under pressure | Liquefied gas |
|
Warning | H280: Contains gas under pressure; may explode if heated | P410+P403: Protect from sunlight. Store in a well-ventilated place. | Critical temp: >-50degC (Partially liquid at temperatures above -50degC) |
| 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 | Not classified | - | - | - | - | UNRTDG Class: 2.1. Non-corrosive to metals (HSDB, access on Oct 2005) |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Oral） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Gas (GHS definition) |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Dermal） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Gas (GHS definition) |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） | Not classified | - | - | - | - | It was considered as the outside of Category based on rat LC50 (4 hours) level: 277374ppm (ACGIH (7th, 2001), DFGOT vol.20 (2003), PATTY (4th, 1994), industrial hygene academic society recommentation (1993)). |
| 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 | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Since data was insufficient, we could not classify it. We found a statement that the eyes of the rabbits were not stimulated (DFGOT vol.20 (2003)), and the ocular irritational property was not reported as human cases of the exposure to vapor. However, we found no statement which negates hazard to human clearly. Therefore we could not classify it for the insufficiency of data. |
| 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 was a negative result (DFGOT vol.20 (2003), PATTY (4th, 1994), NTP DB (Access on Oct 2005)) by the reverse mutation test using bacteria, but there was only data of an in vitro examination. So it was not able to be classified. |
| 6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data |
| 8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 3 （Narcotic effects） |
|
Warning | H336: May cause drowsiness or dizziness (narcotic effects) |
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 ... |
From description in ACGIH (7th, 2001), DFGOT vol.20 (2003), PATTY (4th, 1994) and Society for Occupational Health Recommendation of Occupational Exposure (1993) that concentrated suction indicates anesthetic actions or central nervous system depression in humans, it was thought that there were anesthetic actions and was set as Category 3. |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | There is description that toxicity was not observed in the repeated inhalation exposure test (mixture with isobutane or pentane) using the rat (DFGOT vol.20 (2003)). On the other hand, although it may affect the central nervous systems because of the description that the euphoria and the hallucination were observed in many of examples of repetitive inhalation exposure for the purpose of anesthesia to human (DFGOT vol.20 (2003)), there is no other data which suggests the influence on the central nervous systems in repeated exposure, therefore we could not classify it since the lack of the data. |
| 10 | Aspiration hazard | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Gas (GHS definition) |
| 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. |
