10 Pyrophoric solids Not classified - - - - Not classified because of UNRTDG No. 1504, Class: 5.1, I
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Not classified - - - - Not classified because of UNRTDG No. 1504, UNRTDG Class: 5.1, I
12 Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases Not classified - - - - Although it was a water reactive substances, inert gas (oxygen) was produced. So it carried out the outside of Category. (The water reactive substances which does not correspond to a GHS acceptance criteria (Guide 144: oxidizing agents (water reactive) (ERG, 2004)).)

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 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.

P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Description in the humans of PATTY (5th, 2001) "the contact to the skin brings about critical stimulativeness, reddening, and a pain. From which cause a burned in high concentrations"and EU-Annex I, C;R35, it was set as category 1. Further categorizing is difficult. [view] When further categorizing needs to be performed, it is desirable to be set as Category 1A from a viewpoint of safety.
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.
There is the descriptions of PATTY (5th, 2001) " the serious irritation to the eye, membrance, and skin", "droplet to the eye has a possibility of causing serious damage"in HSDB (2002). And selection of skin stimulativeness Category 1, and a 1% solution is about pH13 (PATTY, 5th, 2001). 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 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 considerd as Category 3 (respiratory irritant) based pn the description about the humans of PATTY (5th, 2001) in Priority 1 " acute exposure by inhalation causes respiratory irritant and dyspnea."
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data available
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available
