| 9 | Pyrophoric liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 10 | Pyrophoric solids | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Non-combustible (ICSC (J), 2001) |
| 11 | Self-heating substances and mixtures | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Not combustible (ICSC(J) (2001)) |
| 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 | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Organic compounds containing chlorine (but not oxygen and fluorine) and the chlorine is chemically bonded only to carbon and hydrogen (but not to other elements). |

| 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） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 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. |
There was no concrete case report. But it was set as Category 2 from description that the skin was stimulated (ICSC (J), (2001), HSFS (1999)). |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 2A-2B |
|
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. |
There were no concrete case reports. But we classified it as Category 2A-2B based on the descriptions in ICSC (J) (2001) and HSFS (1999) that it stimulated the eyes. |
| 4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Since data was insufficient, we could not classify it. |
| 4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Since data was insufficient, we could not classify it. |
| 5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 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 | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Insufficient data available. |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 1 (skin), Category 2 (liver) |
|
Danger Warning |
H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (skin) H373: May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (liver) |
P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
We categorized it as Category 1 (skin) based on the description that chloracne was observed in human exposure examples (PATTY (4th, 1994), CICAD 34 (2001), ACGIH (7th, 2001), and DFGOT (vol.13, 1999)). Moreover, there is description that there is hepatotoxicity as affect on human (PATTY (4th, 1994), and there is description that liver may be affected, and liver dysfunction may be occured (ICSC (J) (2001)), however, there was no concrete case reports, we categorized it as Category 2 (liver) since it could not fully be sure to justify the classification to Category 1 only by these descriptions. |

| 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. |
