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 molecule.
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 - - - - Not combustible (Hommel (1996))
7 Flammable solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
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 classified - - - - Not combustible (Hommel (1996))
10 Pyrophoric solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Not classified - - - - Not combustible (Hommel (1996))
12 Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases Not classified - - - - Although it contains a metal (V), this substance is reported that it reacts strongly with water and produces hydrogen chloride or hydrochloric acid (Hommel (1996)). The substance is classified as "Not classified" because the reaction product does not contain combustible gas.
13 Oxidizing liquids Classification not possible - - - - Although the substance is inorganic compound containing halogen atoms (Cl), which is chemically bonded to elements other than carbon or hydrogen, classification is not possible because no data is available.
14 Oxidizing solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
15 Organic peroxides Not applicable - - - - Inorganic compound
16 Corrosive to metals Classification not possible - - - - No data available. It is reported that this substance is unsuitable as a container, because most of metals received corrosive action with humid air (Hommel (1996)).

HEALTH HAZARDS

1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Category 2 Danger H300: Fatal if swallowed P301+P310: IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
P321: Specific treatment (see ... on this label).
P330: Rinse mouth.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Based on the rat LD50 value of 41 mg/kg (DFGMAK-DOC 25 (2009)), the substance was classified into Category 2.
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
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.
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Classification not possible - - - - No data were available. As relevant information, when the substance contacts with water, intense reaction occurs, and hydrogen chloride or hydrochloric acid is generated (Hommel (1996)). And it is also found that, the substance might have corrosiveness or strong irritation to the skin (HSFS (2001)).
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - No data were available. As relevant information, when the substance contacts with water, intense reaction occurs and, hydrogen chloride or hydrochloric acid is generated (Hommel (1996)). And it is also found that, the substance might injure eyes (HSFS (2001)).
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 - - - - The classification was not possible because no in vivo test data available. As relevant information, as for in vitro study, there are negative results in the Ames test (DFGMAK-DOC 25 (2009)).
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 - - - - No data were available. As relevant information, when the substance contacts with water, intense reaction occurs, and hydrogen chloride or hydrochloric acid is generated (Hommel (1996)). Other information also referred that breathing this substance could irritate the respiratory tract (HSFS (2001)).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
