HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Not applicable - - - - Due to the fact that the substance is "gas" according to the GHS definition and inhalation of its vapour is not expected.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Not applicable - - - - Due to the fact that the substance is "gas" according to the GHS definition and inhalation of its dust/mist is not expected.
