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 Not applicable - - - - It is classified into organic peroxides.
9 Pyrophoric liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
10 Pyrophoric solids Not classified - - - - Its autoignition point is 112degC (ICSC (J) (1999)), which is above 70degC.
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Classification not possible - - - - Test methods applicable to solid (melting point <= 140degC) substances are not 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 Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
14 Oxidizing solids Not applicable - - - - The substance contains oxygen (but not fluorine or chlorine) which is chemically bonded only to carbon or hydrogen.
15 Organic peroxides Type D Danger H242: Heating may cause a fire P411+P235: Store at temperatures not exceeding ... degC/... degF. Keep cool.
P210: Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. ? No smoking.

P234: Keep only in original container.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P410: Protect from sunlight.
P420: Store away from other materials.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
The classification is based on UNRTDG 5.2, UN 3106. The substance of 42% or less concentrations suspended in water is rated as type F (UN 3109).
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 - - - - Since its rat LD50 is > 5000 mg/kg (DFGOT vol. 3 (1992)), the substance was classified into the "Not classified" category.
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 - - - - Insufficient data available.
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Not classified - - - - Since rabbit tests found that the substance causes no irritation (DFGOT vol. 3 (1992)), it was classified into the "Not classified" category.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Not classified - - - - Since rabbit tests found that the substance causes no irritation (DFGOT vol. 3 (1992)), it was classified into the "Not classified" 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 is not possible due to lack of in vivo test data. Regarding in vitro tests, Ames tests yielded negative results (IARC 36 (1985)).
6 Carcinogenicity Not classified - - - - Since the substance is placed in Group 3 in the IARC's classification, it was classified into the "Not classified" category. Tests have been conducted in which mice or rats received long-term subcutaneous administration or dermal administration-- no exposure-related tumorigenesis was observed in either test (IARC 36 (1985)).
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 - - - - In 4-months mixed diet administration tests using rats, decreased hemoglobin and erythrocytes, increased reticulocytes, and increased methemoglobin formation were observed (HSDB (2002)). However, degrees of these changes in blood indices were not provided; in addition, detailed explanations regarding doses used were not provided other than doses used being indicated as "2% or 5%, and LD50 or LD33." As such, due to insufficient information available, classification is not possible.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
