HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity （Oral） Category 4 Warning H302: Harmful if swallowed P301+P312: IF SWALLOWED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
P330: Rinse mouth.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		Although there were two data of 2.7g/kg (ACGIH (2001)) and 320 mg/kg (RTECS (2004)) in rat LD50, the lower one was adopted and it was set as Category 4.
1 Acute toxicity （Dermal） Not classified - - - - Since there were data of 5560mg/kg (RTECS (2004)) of a rabbit, it was set as outside of Category. The data (RTECS (2004)) of the guinea pig was not adopted by the guideline.
1 Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours） Classification not possible - - - - Since median lethal is not reached at the saturated vapor concentration at normal temperature of 20degC with 80ppm, and 30 degC with 196ppm, LC50 level is not acquired.
1 Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists） Classification not possible - - - - Since the value of >290ppm (RTECS) was over saturated vapor concentrations, it was considered to be mist. It is thought that it is category 4 or category 5 since this value is equivalent to 1.78mg/L, but the LC50 value which becomes a decisive factors is not acquired.
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Category 1C Danger H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage P301+P330+P331: IF SWALLOWED: Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting.
P303+P361+P353: IF ON SKIN （or hair）: Remove/Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower.
P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
P304+P340: IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）.
P363: Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		As for animal, there is a result of severe burn with exposure for 24 hours (ACGIH (2001), RTECS (2004)), and burn is reported with occupational exposure (ACGIH (2001)), it was classified as "Category 1C".
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 1 Danger H318: Causes serious eye damage P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. 		It was set as "Category 1"since skin corrosivenesses was Category 1C and intense stimulus was also reported with the eye of a rabbit (ACGIH (2001)).
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - The data on sensitizing was not found.
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - The data on sensitizing was not found.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - Since there is no test reports and there is also no classification evaluation of the institution, it cannot classify.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of experimental data
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 3 （Respiratory tract irritation） Warning H335: May cause respiratory irritation (respiratory tract irritation) P304+P340: IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
P403+P233: Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed.
P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P271: Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
P312: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		It is classified into "Category 3 (respiratory irritation)" by that which has statement of the respiratory irritation about humans (ACGIH (2001)).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - Since there are not a study reports and a report of occupation exposure influence, it cannot be classified.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Acute） Category 2 - - H401: Toxic to aquatic life P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		It was classified into Category 2 from 48-hour EC50=4.0mg/L of Crustacea (Daphnia magna) (MOE eco-toxicity tests of chemicals, 1998).
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term） Category 2 - H411: Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P391: Collect spillage.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		Classified into Category 2, since acute toxicity was Category 2 and not rapidly degrading (BOD: 0% (existing chemical safety inspections data)), though less bio-accumulative (BCF=50 (existing chemical safety inspections data)).
