PHYSICAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Explosives Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data. The substance could be classified as explosives since it contains N-O bonds as chemical groups associated with explosive properties present and has oxygen balance calculated at -84.2, higher than -200 of the criteria.
2 Flammable gases (including chemically unstable gases) Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
3 Aerosols Not applicable - - - - Not aerosol products
4 Oxidizing gases Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
5 Gases under pressure Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
6 Flammable liquids Category 4 - Warning H227: Combustible liquid P370+P378: In case of fire: Use ... for extinction.
P403+P235: Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep cool.
P210: Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
It was classified as Category 4 (GHS standards: flash point being more than 60 degC and 93 degC or less) based on 62 degC of flash point. However, each of these flash point is obtained with open measurement, it needs data with closed cup for a strict judgment.
7 Flammable solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
8 Self-reactive substances and mixtures Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data, though the substance contains N-O bonds (nitro groups) as chemical groups with explosive properties present
9 Pyrophoric liquids Classification not possible - - - - No data available
10 Pyrophoric solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Classification not possible - - - - Test methods applicable to liquid substances are not 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 metaloids(B, Si, P, Ge, As, Se, Sn, Sb, Te, Bi, Po, At).
13 Oxidizing liquids Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data, though containing oxygen bonded to other than carbon and hydrogen.
14 Oxidizing solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
15 Organic peroxides Not applicable - - - - Organic compounds containing no -0-0- structure
16 Corrosive to metals Classification not possible - - - - No data available

HEALTH HAZARDS

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.

SPECIES: Mouse ENDPOINT: LD50 VALUE: 510 mg/g REFERENCE SOURCE: DFGOT vol.1 (1991)
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Not classified - - - - It was set as the outside of Category based on mouse LC50 = 49mg/L (DFGOT vol.1 (1991)) of inhalation study done with mist.
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Category 3 - Warning H316: Causes mild skin irritation P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. Based on the report that slight erythema is observed on rabbits (DFGOT vol.1 (1991)), it was classified as Category 3.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 2A Warning H319: Causes serious eye irritation P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
P337+P313: If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
Based on the statement with significant eye irritations in humans (HSDB (2005), ICSC (J) (2001)), it was set as Category 2A.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - There was no in vivo mutagenicity test results and the in vitro strong positive result was not acknowledged with multiple indices. Therefore we presupposed that we could not categorize it according to the technical guideline.
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 2 (respiratory system) Warning H371: May cause damage to organs (respiratory system) P309+P311: IF exposed or if you feel unwell: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
There is a report that pulmonary oedema is seen and that there is respiratory irritation in human (ICSC (J) (2001), HSDB (2005)). Although expressed dose is unknown also in an animal, pulmonary oedema (DFGOT vol.1 (1991)) and respiratory irritation (PATTY (5th, 2001)) are reported. It is classified into Category 2 (respiratory tract systems) based on these statements.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data available
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available
