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 | - | - | - | "Liquids" according to GHS definition. |
3 | Aerosols | Not applicable | - | - | - | Not an aerosol product. |
4 | Oxidizing gases | Not applicable | - | - | - | "Liquids" according to GHS definition. |
5 | Gases under pressure | Not applicable | - | - | - | "Liquids" according to GHS definition. |
6 | Flammable liquids | Category 4 |

P370+P378 P403+P235 P210 P280 P501 |
A flash point of 69.0 degrees C [closed cup] (Sigma-Aldrich (Access on Feb. 2011)) is > 60 degrees C and <= 93 degrees C, therefore, it corresponds to Category 4. | |
7 | Flammable solids | Not applicable | - | - | - | "Liquids" according to GHS definition. |
8 | Self-reactive substances and mixtures | Not applicable | - | - | - | Containing neither chemical groups related to explosibility nor those related to self-reactivity. |
9 | Pyrophoric liquids | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
10 | Pyrophoric solids | Not applicable | - | - | - | "Liquids" according to GHS definition. |
11 | Self-heating substances and mixtures | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No established test method suitable for liquid substances. |
12 | Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases | Not applicable | - | - | - | Not containing metals or semimetals (B, Si, P, Ge, As, Se, Sn, Sb, Te, Bi, Po, At). |
13 | Oxidizing liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | An organic compound that contains oxygen which is not chemically bonded to elements other than carbon. |
14 | Oxidizing solids | Not applicable | - | - | - | "Liquids" according to GHS definition. |
15 | Organic peroxides | Not applicable | - | - | - | An organic compound that does not contain -O-O- structure. |

1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Not classified | - | - | - | On the basis of LD50 values of > 2000 mg/kg (Limit test; GLP conformance) (IUCLID (2000)), 10080 mg/kg and 20500 mg/kg (HSDB (2003)) for rats, it was classified as "Not classified." |
1 | Acute toxicity (Dermal) | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) | Not applicable | - | - | - | "Liquids" according to GHS definition. |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |

5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |

Lack of data. Besides, a 90-day diet administration test to rats (3.2 mg/kg/day to 3.6 mg/kg/day) reported that relevant effects to the test substance administration were not observed and a NOEL was 3.6 mg/kg/day (JECFA 910 (1998)). In addition, another 84-day diet administration test to rats reported that a statistically significant inhibition of a body weight increase was observed and a NOEL was 300 mg/kg/day. Both the tests were conducted by only one dose, original literature is old as in 1965, and details are unknown, therefore, it was classified as "Classification not possible." |
10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
