Category 4 because of its flash point: 93degC (Guidance of poison deleterious substance handling, JijiPress Ltd. Latest ed., 2001)
7 Flammable solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
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 classified - - - - UNRTDG is classified into 6.1 and II according to the U.N. number (2754) peculiar to a substance. Since 4.2 was not attached, it considered as the outside of Category.
10 Pyrophoric solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Not classified - - - - UNRTDG is classified into 6.1 and II according to the U.N. number (2754) peculiar to a substance. Since 4.2 was not attached, it carried out the outside of Category.
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 - - - - Organic compounds containing no oxygen, fluorine and chlorine.

Of the two LD50 values in rats, LD50 = 580mg/kg (RTECS(2000)) and 787mg/kg (HSDB(2003)), we selected the value indicating the higher toxicity to classify the substance as Category 4.
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Liquid (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 Classification not possible - - - - No data available
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - No data available
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 Classification not possible - - - - It is reported that they observed cyanosis in rats that was believed to have resulted from the effects on the blood at the dosages within the guidance values of Category 1 (HSDB (2003)), but the cause is not clear, so the substance cannot be classified due to insufficient data.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - Although the effects to blood systems, such as methemoglobinemia and change in leucocyte numbers were observed in rat inhalation administration with dose beyond 3 ppm/6H/2W (RTECS, 2000), since it was not clear whether an exposure status was in gas or vapor, and it is not clear whether exposure was per day or per two weeks, it cannot be classified due to lack of data.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available
