A flash point of 13 degrees C [closed cup] (Merck (14th, 2006)) is < 23 degrees C, and bp760 of 107.8 degrees C (Merck (14th, 2006)) is > 35 degrees C, therefore, it corresponds to Category 2. Besides, it is classified in class 3PGII in UNRTDG (UN1107). |
| 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 | Not classified | - | - | - | It is conceivable that it does not ignite at normal temperatures from an ignition point of 225 degrees C (HSDB (2002)). |
| 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 chlorine which is not chemically bonded to elements other than carbon. |
| 14 | Oxidizing solids | Not applicable | - | - | - | "Liquids" according to GHS definition. |

Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Oral） | Classification not possible | - | - | - |
No data. Besides, a probable oral lethal dose (human) is estimated at 0.5 to 5 g/kg (HSDB (2002)). |
| 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 | - | - | - |
Lack of data. Besides, further details of the description of the human skin and eyeｓ irritation by contact with this substance (liquid) (HSDB (2002)) are unknown. |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - |
Lack of data. Besides, further details of irritating to human eyes, nose and throat by the vapour of this substance and irritating to skin and eyes by contact with a liquid of this substance (HSDB (2002)) are unknown. |
| 4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
| 4 | Skin sensitization | 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. Besides, HSDB (2002) reports that aliphatic hydrocarbons cause nervous depressants when absorbed from the alimentary tract in humans. |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - |
No data. Besides, HSDB (2002) reports that aliphatic hydrocarbons cause nervous depressants when absorbed from the alimentary tract in humans. Dizziness, weakness, anemia, nervousness, pains in limbs, peripheral numbness, and paresthesias occur as symptoms of chronic poisoning from inhalation. Slow and shallow respiration, unconsciousness, convulsions, and ventricular fibrillation can occur after a large amount of ingestion or inhalation (HSDB (2002)). |
| 10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - |
No data. Besides, HSDB (2002) reports that halogenated-chlorinated has a small risk of aspiration. |
