PHYSICAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Explosives Not applicable - - - - Due to dissociation of nitrogen and oxygen from hydrocarbon through the formation of ammonia and water, the saturation of unsaturated bonds and the deposition and separation of its metal components by the catalysts during the hydrorefining process, the substance does not contain chemical groups associated with explosive properties.
2 Flammable gases (including chemically unstable gases) Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
3 Aerosols Not applicable - - - - Not aerosol products.
4 Oxidizing gases Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
5 Gases under pressure Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
6 Flammable liquids Not classified - - - - Its flash point is 204degC (IUCLID (2000)), which is >= 110degC.
7 Flammable solid Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
8 Self-reactive substances and mixtures Not applicable - - - - Due to dissociation of nitrogen and oxygen from hydrocarbon through the formation of ammonia and water, the saturation of unsaturated bonds and the deposition and separation of its metal components by the catalysts during the hydrorefining process, the substance does not contain chemical groups associated with explosive or self-reactive properties.
9 Pyrophoric liquids Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
10 Pyrophoric solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Classification not possible - - - - Test methods applicable to liquid substances are not available.
12 Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases Not applicable - - - - Due to deposition and separation of its metal components by the catalysts during the hydrorefining process, 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 - - - - Due to dissociation of oxygen from hydrocarbon through water formation, and the deposition and separation of its metal components by the catalysts during the hydrorefining process, the substance does not contain oxygen or halogen.
14 Oxidizing solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
15 Organic peroxides Not applicable - - - - Due to dissociation of oxygen from hydrocarbon through water formation during the hydrorefining process, the substance is considered as an organic compound containing no bivalent -O-O- structure.
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 bw (OECD TG 401 GLP) (IUCLID (2000)), the substance was classified into "Not classified".
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Not classified - - - - Since its rabbit LD50 is > 5000 mg/kg bw (OECD TG 402 GLP) (IUCLID (2000)), the substance was classified into "Not classified".
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Liquid (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. As relevant information, the rat LC50 of similar products (solvent-dewaxed light paraffinic distillates (CAS No. 64742-56-9)) is > 4 mg/L (IUCLID (2000)), which falls under Category 4.
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Not classified - - - - In Draize tests using rabbits (OECD TG 404 GLP), the Primary Dermal Irritation Index was 0.27 to 0.38 (IUCLID (2000)), which represents "Not classified" category.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Not classified - - - - In Draize tests using rabbits (OECD TG 405 GLP), the Primary Dermal Irritation Index was 0 (IUCLID (2000)), which represents "Not classified" category.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - Maximization tests using guinea pigs (OECD TG 406 GLP) found that the substance is not skin sensitizing (IUCLID (2000)), indicating that it is to be categorized into "Not classified". However, since these results were obtained using a List 2 dataset, it was classified into "Classification not possible".
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - In chromosomal aberration tests using bone marrow cells of rats that underwent oral or intraperitoneal administration (OECD TG 475 GLP) (in vivo mutagenicity tests using somatic cells), a statistically significant increase in chromosomal aberrations was reported; however, the increase was detected in comparison with the limited historical control data (IUCLID (2000)). Other than this report, there are no test results available from either in vivo tests or in vitro tests using multiple indices. As such, the substance was classified into "Classification not possible". Also, mouse lymphoma assays yielded negative results (IUCLID (2000)).
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - As the IARC classified highly refined mineral oils into Group 3, and untreated and mildly treated mineral oils into Group 1 (IARC 33 (1987)), classification is differentiated by the degree of refinement. Because the degree of refinement associated with this substance is unknown, it is classified into "Classification not possible".
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 21-day dermal toxicity tests using rabbits (6 hours /day and 3 days/week), no signs of toxicity were reported at the dose of 5000 mg/kg (IUCLID (2000)). With only this test result obtainable, the substance was classified into "Classification not possible" due to insufficient data available.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - Since it is a hydrocarbon and its kinematic viscosity is 25.1 mm2/s at 40degC (CONCAWE (1997)), the substance is considered to be categorized into "Not classified". However, classification is not possible due to insufficient data available.
