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. (Since the content of sulfur trioxide varies the property of the substance, it is either liquid or solid; at room temperature, it is usually liquid, but it could be solid due to the contents of the sulfur trioxide.) |
| 2 | Flammable gases （including chemically unstable gases） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Liquid or Solid (GHS definition) |
| 3 | Aerosols | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Not aerosol products |
| 4 | Oxidizing gases | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Liquid or Solid (GHS definition) |
| 5 | Gases under pressure | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Liquid or Solid (GHS definition) |
| 6 | Flammable liquids | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Non-combustible (ICSC(J), 2002). |
| 7 | Flammable solids | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Non-combustible (ICSC (J) (2002)) |
| 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 | - | - | - | - | Not combustible (ICSC (J), 2002) |
| 10 | Pyrophoric solids | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Non-combustible (ICSC (J), 2002) |
| 11 | Self-heating substances and mixtures | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Not combustible (ICSC(J) (2002)) |
| 12 | Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Metals or metalloids (B, Si, P, Ge, As, Se, Sn, Sb, Te, Bi, Po, At) is not included. In addition, it reacts violently with water and humidity, and heat and sulfates are generated. However, sulfate is nonflammable. |
| 13 | Oxidizing liquids | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Not classified because of UNRTDG No. 1831, Class: 8(6.1), PG I (not Class: 5.1) though it is a strong oxidizing agent (ICSC(J), 2005) |
| 14 | Oxidizing solids | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Not classified because of UNRTDG No. 1831, Class: 8(6.1), PGI (not Class: 5.1), though it is a straong agent (ICSC(J), 2005) |
| 15 | Organic peroxides | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Inorganic compound |
| 16 | Corrosive to metals | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Although UNRTDG is classified into 8 (6.1) and I according to the UNRTDG No. (1831), identification with skin corrosivity cannot be performed. Since the information which leads to corrosion behavior also was not found, it cannot be classified. In addition, ICSC (J) (2005) has a statement that the aqueous solutions of this product indicate corrosion behavior. |

It was set as Category 3 based on rat inhalation LC50 = 347ppm/1H (= 86.7ppm/4H = 0.63mg/L/4H, molecular weights are set to 178.14, and it is guessed as mist) (RTECS (1995)). |
| 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.

Since there is the description that caustic is indicated to human skin (ICSC (J), (2002)), and there is a case that this product caused a skin burn when sprayed on the worker's face (HSDB (2003)), it was set as category 1A-1C. In addition, further categorizing from this information is difficult. |

As strong inorganic acid mists including sulfuric acids such as this product, the classification of IARC was 1 (IARC 54 (1992)), the classification of NTP was K (NTP Roc (11th, 2005)) and the classification of ACGIH was A2 (ACGIH (7th, 2004)). Therefore, it was set to Category 1A based on most updated evaluation document according to classification guidelines. |
