PHYSICAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Explosives Classification not possible - - - - It contains chemical groups (N-nitroso group) associated with explosive properties. Since no test results are available, classification is not possible.
2 Flammable gases (including chemically unstable gases) Not applicable - - - - Liquid (yellow liquid (CRC))
3 Aerosols Not applicable - - - - Not aerosol products.
4 Oxidizing gases Not applicable - - - - Liquid (yellow liquid (CRC))
5 Gases under pressure Not applicable - - - - Liquid (yellow liquid (CRC))
6 Flammable liquids Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
7 Flammable solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (yellow liquid (CRC))
8 Self-reactive substances and mixtures Classification not possible - - - - It contains chemical groups (N-nitroso group) associated with explosive properties. Since no test results are available, classification is not possible.
9 Pyrophoric liquids Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
10 Pyrophoric solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (yellow liquid (CRC))
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
12 Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases Not applicable - - - - The chemical structure of the substance does not contain metals or metalloids (B, Si, P, Ge, As, Se, Sn, Sb, Te, Bi, Po, At).
13 Oxidizing liquids Classification not possible - - - - It is an organic compound containing oxygen (but not fluorine or chlorine), which is chemically bonded to nitrogen. Since no test results based on standardized testing methods are available, classification is not possible.
14 Oxidizing solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (yellow liquid (CRC))
15 Organic peroxides Not applicable - - - - Organic compounds containing no bivalent -O-O- structure
16 Corrosive to metals Classification not possible - - - - No data available.

HEALTH HAZARDS

Since its rat LD50 is 24 mg/kg (IARC vol. 17 (1978)), the substance was classified into Category 2.
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Since the substance is a liquid, it was classified into the "Not applicable" category.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Classification not possible - - - - The LD50 is reported to be 22 mg/kg by inhalation exposure (IARC vol. 17 (1978)). However, since exposure duration is not provided and kg is the unit used, the substance was classified into the "Classification not possible" category due to insufficient test results available.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible - - - - The LD50 is reported to be 22 mg/kg by inhalation exposure (IARC vol. 17 (1978)). However, since exposure duration is not provided and kg is the unit used, the substance was classified into the "Classification not possible" category due to insufficient test results available.
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Classification not possible - - - - It can cause skin irritation on contact (HSFS 2006). However, since test details are not explained, the substance was classified into the "Classification not possible" category.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - It can cause eye irritation on contact (HSFS 2006). However, since test details were not explained, the substance was classified into the "Classification not possible" category.
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 - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data.
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 ...
It is rated as "Group 2B" by the IARC (IARC Suppl. 7 (1987)) and "R" by the NTP (NTP 2005), the substance was classified into Category 2.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - Repeated exposure to the substance may affect the liver and kidneys according to HSFS (2006). However, since test details were not explained, the substance was classified into the "Classification not possible" category.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
