| 16 | Corrosive to metals | Not classified | - | - | - | - | UNRTDG Class: 2.1 |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Oral） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Gas (GHS definition) |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Dermal） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Gas (GHS definition) |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） | Not classified | - | - | - | - | It was judged as the outside of Category. Based on the description that effect was not observed by 500000ppm 4-hour exposure in rat (ACGIH, 7th (2001)), and that effect was not observed by 57000ppm 4-hour exposure and 10000ppm 5-hour exposure in rat (IARC 60 (1994)). |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Gas (GHS definition) |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Gas (GHS definition) |
| 2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Not classified | - | - | - | - | From the description that the skin is not stimulated in PATTY (4th, 1994), it carried out the outside of category. |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Not classified | - | - | - | - | From description that the eye is not stimulated (PATTY (4th, 1994)), it was set as the outside of Category. |
| 4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Not classified | - | - | - | - | There was a negative result (IARC 60, 1994) by the micronucleus test which used the bone marrow of the rat and mouse, which is an in vivo mutagenicity test using a somatic. So it is classified as the out of the Category. |
| 6 | Carcinogenicity | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Since it is classified into a group 3 according to IARC and classified into A4 according to ACGIH, it considered as the outside of Category. |
| 7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 3 （Narcotic effects） |
|
Warning | H336: May cause drowsiness or dizziness (narcotic effects) |
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 is used as an anesthetic in the humans, and after the discontinuation of exposure, it was recovered promptly and impact on others was not observed (ACGIH (7th, 2001) and PATTY (4th, 1994)), it was observed as Category 3 (anesthetic actions). |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Since in the rat exposure test for 90 days (ACGIH 7th, 2001, DFGOT vol.10, 1998 and IARC 60, 1994) and the rat exposure test during two years (PATTY 4th, 1994 and IARC 60, 1994), a toxic effect was not observed at the high concentrations exceeding the range of guidance value in Category 2, either, it was carried out the outside of Category. |
| 10 | Aspiration hazard | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Gas (GHS definition) |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Acute） | Category 3 | - | - | H402: Harmful to aquatic life |
P273: Avoid release to the environment. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
It was classified into Category 3 from 72-hour ErC50=72mg/L of algae (Selenastrum) (SIDS, 1998). |
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term） | Category 3 | - | - | H412: Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects |
P273: Avoid release to the environment. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Classified into Category 3, since acute toxicity was Category 3 and rapid degradability is unknown, though supposed less bio-accumulative (log Kow=1.13 (PHYSPROP Database, 2005)). |
