Since its flash point reported 52 degC (closed-cup) (HSDB (2009)) is >= 23 degC and <= 60 degC, the substance corresponds to Category 3. In addition, UN1191 (Octyl Aldehydes) is rated as Class 3, PG III in UNRTDG.
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 - - - - Since its autoignition temperature is 200 degC (GESTIS (Access on July 2010)), it is considered that the substance does not ignite at room temperature.
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 - - - - 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 - - - - The substance is an organic compound containing oxygen which is chemically bonded only to carbon or hydrogen.
14 Oxidizing solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
15 Organic peroxides Not applicable - - - - Organic compounds 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 - - - - Based on the rat LD50 value of 4600 mg/kg (JECFA 48 (2002)), the substance was classified as "Not classified" in the JIS classification (corresponding to Category 5 in the UN-GHS classification).
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Not classified - - - - Based on the rabbit LD50 value of 6.35 mL/kg (5213 mg/kg) (JECFA 14 (1979)), the substance was classified as "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.
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data were available. Mild or moderate irritation was reported in the standard Draize test using rabbit in RTECS (2009), which was the "List 3" information source designated in the GHS classification guidance for the Japanese government.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data were available. Mild or severe irritation was reported in the standard Draize test using rabbit in RTECS (2009), which was the "List 3" information source designated in the GHS classification guidance for the Japanese government.
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 due to lack of in vivo test data. As relevant information, as for in vitro test, negative results in the Ames test were reported (JECFA 48 (2002)).
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data were available. As relevant information, in the oral administration study of octanoic acid (metabolite of this substance) to pregnant rat during the organogenetic period, it was reported that the significant reduction of the number of live pups was observed only at the high dose in which the general toxicity (weight reduction) of the dam appeared (JECFA 40 (1998)).
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data is available. As relevant information, in the 12-week feeding study in rats given the mixture composed of six aldehyde analogues containing the substance (dose level: 112 mg/kg/day for the mixture; 13 mg/kg/day for net dose level of this substance), no toxic effects were reported (JECFA 48 (2002)).
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
