P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		Since its flash point reported 27 degC (closed-cup) (Lange (16th, 2005)) is >= 23 degC and <= 60 degC, the substance corresponds to Category 3.
7 Flammable solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
8 Self-reactive substances and mixtures Classification not possible - - - - It contains chemical groups (unsaturated bonds) associated with self-reactive properties in the molecule, but classification is not possible due to lack of additional data.
9 Pyrophoric liquids Not classified - - - - Since its autoignition temperature is 425 degC (MSDS (Access on Sept. 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 - - - - Organic compounds containing no fluorine, chlorine or oxygen.
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 5700 mg/kg bw (HSDB (2002)), the substance was classified as "Not classified".
1 Acute toxicity （Dermal） Not classified - - - - Based on the rabbit LD50 value of 13372 mg/kg bw (RTECS (2004), original literature: National Technical Information Service. (Springfield, VA 22161) formerly U.S. Clearinghouse for Scientific & Technical Information.: OTS0536315), the substance was classified as "Not classified".
1 Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours） Category 3 Danger H331: Toxic if inhaled P304+P340: IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
P403+P233: Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed.
P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P271: Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
P311: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）.
P405: Store locked up. 		Based on the rat LC50 value of 2231 ppm/4hrs (RTECS (2004), original literature: American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal. Volume 30 (1969)), the substance was classified as Category 3. Since the LC50 value was lower than 90% of the saturated vapor pressure concentration (12908 ppm), the test substance was judged as vapor hardly including no mists, the criterion values of gas were adopted.
1 Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists） Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data were available. As relevant notes, as for the datum from the "List 3" information source designated in the GHS classification guidance for the Japanese government, it was reported that the application of 0.5 ml of the substance to rabbit skin caused moderate irritation (RTECS (2004)). However, no details were provided.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data were available. As relevant notes, as for the datum from the "List 3" information source designated in the GHS classification guidance for the Japanese government, it was reported that the application of 0.1 ml of the substance to rabbit eye caused moderate irritation (RTECS (2004)). However, no details were provided.
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 - - - - No data available.
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 available.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
