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.
2 Flammable gases (including chemically unstable gases) Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
3 Aerosols Not applicable - - - - Not aerosol products.
4 Oxidizing gases Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
5 Gases under pressure Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
6 Flammable liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
7 Flammable solid Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
8 Self-reactive substances and mixtures Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
9 Pyrophoric liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
10 Pyrophoric solids Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
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 classified - - - - Since the substance has been documented to be insoluble (Merck 14th, 2006; Lide 88th, 2008) or have very low solubility (IUCLID (2000)), it was classified into "Not classified".
13 Oxidizing liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
14 Oxidizing solids Classification not possible - - - - The substance is an inorganic compound containing oxygen but not chlorine or fluorine. No data on its oxidizing property is found.
15 Organic peroxides Not applicable - - - - Inorganic compound
16 Corrosive to metals Classification not possible - - - - No data available.

HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Not classified - - - - Based on its LD50 > 5000 mg/kg for rats (EU-RAR (2004)), the substance was classified into "Not classified".
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
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 Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Not classified - - - - In a study using rabbits, conducted according to OECD guideline 405 (Directive 92/69/EEC B.5), very slight irritation of the conjunctiva was seen as redness (mean scores over 24 - 72 hours 0, 0.7, and 0.3) and chemosis (mean scores 0, 0.3, and 0.3) (EU-RAR, 2004). It is consequently concluded that the substance is not likely to be irritating to the skin. In addition, it is concluded that the substance is not likely to be corrosive to the skin (EU-RAR, 2004). Thus, the substance was classified into "Not classified".
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 - - - - No data available.
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - It is documented that in an oral administration test to rats, its TDL0 = 36500 mg/kg/day, the leukocyte counts were changed (RTECS, 2008). However, the results provide insufficient data only, and thus, the substance was classified into "Classification not possible".
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) Category 1 Warning H400: Very toxic to aquatic life P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P391: Collect spillage.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Since its 96h-LC50 = 0.09 mg/L for fish (rainbow trout) (Aquire, 2008), the substance was classified into Category 1.
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) Category 1 Warning H410: Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P391: Collect spillage.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Since it is a metallic compound, it is estimated not to be rapidly degradable, and its preexisting classification for acute toxicity is Category 1, the substance was classified into Category 1.
