HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data. As relevant information, a LD50 value is 738 mg/kg for rats (RTECS (1999) and this substance is classified into Xn; R22 in EU classification (EU-Annex I (access on Sep. 2009)).
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data. As relevant information, a LD50 value is 103 mg/kg for rabbits (RTECS (1999) and this substance is classified into T; R24 in EU classification (EU-Annex I (access on Sep. 2009)).
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data. As relevant information, there are data of a LC50 value of 30 mg/m3/4h (5.5 ppm/4h) for rats (RTECS (1999) and classification into T; R24 in EU classification (EU-Annex I (access on Sep. 2009)). Since the LC50 value was lower than 90% of saturated vapour pressure concentration (113 ppm), the test was considered to be conducted for vapour with almost no included mists.
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 ...
Since a solution of this substance has a pH of 12 (100 g/L, 20 degC) (GESTIS (access on Sep. 2009)) and the substance is classified into C; R35 in EU classification (EU-Annex I (access on Sep. 2009)), the substance was classified into Category 1. As relevant information, there is a report of "moderate" irritating in an open irritation test where 470 mg of the substance was applied to the skin of rabbits (RTECS (1999)).
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.
Since a solution of the substance has a pH of 12 (100 g/L, 20 degC) (GESTIS (access on Sep. 2009)) and the substance is corrosive to skin, the substance was classified into Category 1. As relevant information, there is a report of "severe" irritating in a Draize test where 47 mg of the substance was applied to the eye of rabbits (RTECS (1999)).
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available. As relevant information, in EU classification, the substance is classified into C; R43 (EU-Annex I (access on Sep. 2009)).
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data from in vivo mutagenicity tests. From in vitro mutagenicity tests, there is a report of a negative Ames test (NTP DB (access on Sep. 2009)).
