PHYSICAL HAZARDS

Hazard class		Classification	Pictogram Signal word	Hazard statement (code)	Precautionary statement (code)	Rationale for the classification
1	Explosives	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Because there is a chemical group associated with explosive properties (nitro group) present in the molecule, and oxygen balance of 0 is higher than the criteria of -200, it may correspond to explosives. However, the classification is not possible due to no data.
2	Flammable gases (including chemically unstable gases)	Not applicable	- -	-	-	Solid (GHS definition)
3	Aerosols	Not applicable	- -	-	-	Not aerosol products.
4	Oxidizing gases	Not applicable	- -	-	-	Solid (GHS definition)
5	Gases under pressure	Not applicable	- -	-	-	Solid (GHS definition)
6	Flammable liquids	Not applicable	- -	-	-	Solid (GHS definition)
7	Flammable solids	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.
8	Self-reactive substances and mixtures	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	There is a chemical group associated with explosive properties (nitro group) present in the molecule, but the classification is not possible due to no data.
9	Pyrophoric liquids	Not applicable	- -	-	-	Solid (GHS definition)
10	Pyrophoric solids	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.
11	Self-heating substances and mixtures	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data 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	- -	-	-	Solid (GHS definition)
14	Oxidizing solids	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	It is an organic compound which does not contain fluorine or chlorine but contains oxygen, and the oxygen is chemically bonded to the element other than carbon or hydrogen (N). However, the classification is not possible due to no data.
15	Organic peroxides	Not applicable	- -	-	-	Organic compounds containing no bivalent -O-O- structure in the molecule.
16	Corrosive to metals	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Test methods applicable to solid substances are not available.

NOTE:

GHS Classification Result by the Japanese Government is intended to provide a reference for preparing a GHS label or SDS for users. To include the same classification result in a label or SDS for Japan is NOT mandatory.
Users can cite or copy this classification result when preparing a GHS label or SDS. Please be aware, however, that the responsibility for a label or SDS prepared by citing or copying this classification result lies with users.
This GHS classification was conducted based on the information sources and the guidance for classification and judgement which are described in the GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government etc. Using other literature, test results etc. as evidence and including different content from this classification result in a label or SDS are allowed.
Hazard statement and precautionary statement will show by hovering the mouse cursor over a code in the column of "Hazard statement" and "Precautionary statement," respectively. In the excel file, both the codes and statements are provided.
A blank or "-" in the column of "Classification" denotes that a classification for the hazard class was not conducted in the year.
