UNRTDG is classified into 8 and II which indicate causticity according to the UNRTDG No. (1827). Since ICSC (J) (2004) and HSDB (2003) also had the statement which indicates corrosion behavior, it was set as Category 1.

HEALTH HAZARDS

1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Liquid (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.

Based on rat inhalation LC50 value of 2300mg/m^3/10min (RETCS, 2004), 0.47mg/L was obtained as a value for 4 hours, and it was classified as Category 1. In addition, saturated vapor concentration of this substance is 23762ppm from steam pressure of 2.4kPa, and the LC50 value of 2300mg/m^3 (= 216ppm) is presumed to be steam exposure.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Category 1A-1B 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 ...
It was taken as category 1A-1B from the description that this product is caustic to the eye and skin and airways, that shows caustic when oral ingestion is carried out (ICSC, 2004), that causes a burn injury on the skin, and that stimulates skin and eyes and respiratory tracts (HSDB, 2003). In addition, further categorizing is difficult.
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 description, with this product, the caustic is indicated to eye, skin, and respiratory tract, and caustic is indicated if oral ingestion is done (ICSC, 2004), and skin, eye, and respiratory tract are stimulated (HSDB, 2003). It was considered as Category 1 by skin corrosiveness, and it was set to 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 - - - - There is the negativity in the Ames test of in vitro mutagenicity test (CICAD 65, 2005; HSDB, 2003), and there is a positivity report by a chromosome aberration test (CICAD 65, 2005;RTECS, 2004). But there is no in vivo data, and it cannot be classified because of insufficient data.
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 ...
Since this product indicates respiratory tracts caustics (ICSC, 2004) and respiratory irritant (HSDB, 2003), and an inorganic tin compound indicates respiratory irritant (ACGIH-TLV (2006)), it was considered as Category 3 (respiratory irritant).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (lung) Danger H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (lung) 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 ...
Since it has a risk of pneumoconiosis by as an inorganic tin compound (ACGIH-TLV (2006)), and the effect on the respiratory system is observed in the this product etc. in occupational exposure study (HSDB, 2003), it was classified into Category 1 (lung).
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) Not classified - - - - It carried out the outside of Category from 96-hour LC50>1000mg/L of fishes (Zebrafish) (IUCLID, 2000).
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) Not classified - - - - Since not water-insoluble (soluble in water (HSDB, 2004)) and acute toxicity is low.
