PHYSICAL HAZARDS

Hazard class		Classification	Symbol	Signal word	Hazard statement	Precautionary statement	Rationale for the classification
1	Explosives	Not applicable	-	-	-	-	There are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties present in the molecules.
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	-	-	-	-	Although HSDB (2002) has the statement which indicates flame retardancy, there is no test data, and it cannot be classified.
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	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
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	-	-	-	-	Although Sittig's Handbook of Toxic and Hazardous Chemicals and Carcinogenes (4th, 2002) has the description that "it reacts with water and hydrochloric acids/hydrogen hydrochloric acids steam is produced", both of them are nonflammable. So it carried out the outside of category.
13	Oxidizing liquids	Not applicable	-	-	-	-	Solid (GHS definition)
14	Oxidizing solids	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
15	Organic peroxides	Not applicable	-	-	-	-	Organic compounds containing no -0-0- structure
16	Corrosive to metals	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data 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）	Not applicable	-	-	-	-	Solid (GHS definition)
1	Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours）	Category 1		Danger	H330: Fatal if inhaled	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. P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P271: Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. P284: Wear respiratory protection. P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. P320: Specific treatment is urgent （see ... on this label）. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...	Since this product has low melting point (32degC (Sax (11th, 2004)) and 35-37degC (HSDB (2002))), it is thought that the inhalation test is done with vapor. Therefore, it was classified as Category 1 from rat LC50 = 26ppm/4h (RTECS (1997)). In addition, 26ppm/4h is equivalent to 0.141mg/L/4h.
1	Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists）	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
2	Skin corrosion/irritation	Category 1A-1C		Danger	H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage	P301+P330+P331: IF SWALLOWED: Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. P303+P361+P353: IF ON SKIN （or hair）: Remove/Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower. P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. P304+P340: IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）. P363: Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...	In Priority 2, the this product was very corrosiveness, and since there was description that the contact to the human skin causes a critical burned (SITTIG (4th, 2002)), it was set as Category 1A-1C. [view] It is more desirable to be set as Category 1A from a viewpoint of safety, when further categorizing needs to be performed.
3	Serious eye damage/eye irritation	Category 1		Danger	H318: Causes serious eye damage	P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.	In Priority 2, the this product has strong causticity, and there is the description that the contact to human eye causes severe burns (SITTIG (4th, 2002)). So it was classified into Category 1.
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	-	-	-	-	No data available
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 2 (Inhalation: respiratory)		Warning	H371: May cause damage to organs (Inhalation: respiratory)	P309+P311: IF exposed or if you feel unwell: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. 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. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...	The substance was classified as Category 2 (respiratory system (inhalation)) because there is a report in Priority 2 that it causes irritation in humans after inhalation, and that it may cause pulmonary edema at a higher concentration (SITTIG (4th, 2002)).
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Category 2 (respiratory system)		Warning	H373: May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (respiratory system)	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 ...	Since there was description that lungs irritations or bronchitis is occued on humans (SITTIG (4th, 2002) in Priority 2), it was classified into Category 2 (respiratory systems).
10	Aspiration hazard	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
