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 | - | - | - | - | The substance is a flammable solid (Hommel (1996)). Classification is not possible due to lack of data. |
| 8 | Self-reactive substances and mixtures | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | There are no chemical groups present in the molecule associated with explosive or self-reactive properties. |
| 9 | Pyrophoric liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 10 | Pyrophoric solids | Not classified | - | - | - | - | The substance is rated as 4.3I by the UNRTDG. Since its rating is lower than 4.2I, the substance was classified into "Not classified". |
| 11 | Self-heating substances and mixtures | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. The substance resolves in contact with humid air, and it is pyrophoric (Incompatible Hazard Handbook of Chemicals (Tokyo Fire Department)). |
| 12 | Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases | Category 1 |
|
Danger | H260: In contact with water releases flammable gases which may ignite spontaneously |
P231+P232: Handle under inert gas. Protect from moisture. P335+P334: Brush off loose particles from skin. Immerse in cool water/wrap in wet bandages. P370+P378: In case of fire: Use ... for extinction. P402+P404: Store in a dry place. Store in a closed container. P223: Keep away from any possible contact with water, because of violent reaction and possible flash fire. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Since it is rated as Class 4.3I by the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, and it falls under Guide 138 in the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG), the substance was classified into Category 1. |
| 13 | Oxidizing liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 14 | Oxidizing solids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | The substance does not contain oxygen, fluorine or chlorine. |
| 15 | Organic peroxides | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Inorganic compound |
| 16 | Corrosive to metals | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Test methods applicable to solid substances are not available. |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Oral） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| 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 | Category 1 |
|
Danger | H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage |
P301+P330+P331: IF SWALLOWED: Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. P303+P361+P353: IF ON SKIN （or hair）: Remove/Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower. P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. P304+P340: IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）. P363: Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
It is documented as highly corrosive in the human toxicity information (HSDB (2002)), and a severe skin irritant provoking second- and third-degree burns (HSDB (2002)). Thus, the substance was classified into Category 1. |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 1 |
|
Danger | H318: Causes serious eye damage |
P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. |
It is classified into Category 1 for skin corrosion and irritation. |
