| 9 | Pyrophoric liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Classified as "solid" according to GHS definition |
| 10 | Pyrophoric solids | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Considered non-pyrophoric when in contact with air at ordinary temperatures since the substance is used as a flame retardant (EHC 152 (1994)). Classified into Class 9 (UN#3152 Polyhalogenated Biphenyls (solid), or Polyhalogenated Terphenyls (solid)) (UN Recommendation on the Transport of Dangerous Goods). |
| 11 | Self-heating substances and mixtures | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Classified into Class 9 (UN#3152 Polyhalogenated Biphenyls (solid), or Polyhalogenated Terphenyls (solid)) (UN Recommendation on the Transport of Dangerous Goods). |
| 12 | Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Containing no metals or metalloids (B, Si, P, Ge, As, Se, Sn, Sb, Te, Bi, Po, At) |
| 13 | Oxidizing liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Classified as "solid" according to GHS definition |
| 14 | Oxidizing solids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Organic compounds containing no oxygen, fluorine or chlorine |
| 15 | Organic peroxides | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Organic compounds containing no "-O-O-" structure |

| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Oral） | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Based on the rat LD50 (oral route) value of >5,000mg/kg and >20,000mg/kg (EHC 152 (1994)). |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Dermal） | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Based on the rat LD50 (dermal route) value of >5,000mg/kg (EHC 152 (1994)) and rabbit LD50 (dermal route) of >8,000mg/kg (EHC 152 (1994)). |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Due to the fact that the substance is a solid according to the GHS definition and inhalation of its gas is not expected. |
| 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 3 | - | Warning | H316: Causes mild skin irritation | P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. | Based on the description in the report on rabbit skin irritation tests (exposure duration unknown) (PATTY (4th, 2000)): "Mild rash and edematous response occurred at the abraded and intact skin sites in four of six treated animals" and the substance is "classified as an only mild skin irritant." |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 2B | - | Warning | H320: Causes eye irritation |
P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. P337+P313: If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. |
Based on the description in the report on rabbit eye irritation tests (EHC 152 (1994)): "Caused mild irritation." |
| 4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Based on the absence of data on multi-generation mutagenicity tests and germ cell mutagenicity tests in vivo, and negative data on somatic cell mutagenicity tests in vivo (micronucleus tests), described in EHC 152 (1994). |
| 6 | Carcinogenicity | Category 2 |
|
Warning | H351: Suspected of causing cancer |
P308+P313: IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention. P201: Obtain special instructions before use. P202: Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. P281: Use personal protective equipment as required. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Due to the fact that the substance is classified as Category R (Polybrominated Biphenyls) by NTP (2005), Category 2B (Polybrominated biphenyls) by IARC (1987) and Category 2B (Polybrominated Biphenyls) by the Japan Society for Occupational Health (2005). |
| 7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Insufficient data available |
| 8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Insufficient data available |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Insufficient data available |
| 10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Acute） | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Since it was suggested that relevant toxicity is not indicated within the water solubility (1.25*10-11mg/L (PHYSPROP Database (2005)) of this substance in spite of 24 hours EC50>66mg/L of the crustacea (Daphnia magna) (EHC152 (1994)), it was classified into Not classified. |
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term） | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Although it is water-insolubility and acute toxicity was not reported within the aqueous solubility concentrations and there was no rapidly degrading (the decomposition by BOD: 0.8%(Existing Chemical Safety Inspections Data)), since the bio-accumulation (BCF=5.4(Existing Chemical Safety Inspections Data)) was low, it was classified into Not classified. |
