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 Category 3 Warning H226: Flammable liquid and vapour P303+P361+P353: IF ON SKIN (or hair): Remove/Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower.
P370+P378: In case of fire: Use ... for extinction.
P403+P235: Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep cool.
P210: Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking.
P233: Keep container tightly closed.
P240: Ground/bond container and receiving equipment.
P241: Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting/.../equipment.
P242: Use only non-sparking tools.
P243: Take precautionary measures against static discharge.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Since its flash point 46 degC (closed-cup) (IUCLID (2000)) 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 Not applicable - - - - There are no chemical groups present in the molecule 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 classified - - - - Although the substance contains a metal (Ti), the water solubility data 1.86E+004 mg/L (SRC Phys Prop (Access on Nov. 2010)) is obtained. Therefore it is considered that the substance does not react vigorously with water.
13 Oxidizing liquids Classification not possible - - - - Classification is not possible since no data are available though the substance is an organic compound containing oxygen (but not fluorine or chlorine) which is chemically bonded to the elements other than 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 7460 mg/kg bw (IUCLID (2000)), the substance was classified as "Not classified".
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Not classified - - - - Based on the rat LD50 value of > 16 gm/kg bw (IUCLID (2000)), 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 - - - - It was reported that exposure of vapor at high concentration for 4 hours to rats caused no death (IUCLID (2000)). However, the datum did not provide the basis for classification. Therefore, the substance was classified as "Classification not possible" due to insufficient data available.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Not classified - - - - In the rabbit test, the substance was reported as "slightly irritating" (IUCLID (2000)). In another rabbit test, the grade of irritation was 1 on the scale of 1 - 10 and resulted "slightly irritating" (IUCLID (2000)). Based on the information, the substance was classified as "Not classified" in the JIS classification (corresponding to Category 3 in the UN-GHS classification).
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 2A Warning H319: Causes serious eye irritation P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
P337+P313: If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
In the rabbit test, the substance was reported as "moderately irritating" (IUCLID (2000)). In another rabbit test, the grade of irritation was 5 on the scale of 1 - 10 and reported as "moderately irritating" (IUCLID (2000)). Based on these documents, the substance was classified as Category 2A.
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.
