| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Oral） | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Based on the 5980mg/kg which is statistically calculated values of rat LD50 value using 4 data (IARC47 (1989), EHC20 (1982)), it considered as the outside of Category. |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Dermal） | Category 5 | - | Warning | H313: May be harmful in contact with skin | P312: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. | Based on rat LD50= 5ml/kg (reduced value of 4.40g/kg) (IARC47 (1989), EHC20 (1982)), it was set as Category 5. |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Liquid (room temperature) |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Insufficient data available |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists） | Category 5 | - | Warning | H333: May be harmful if inhaled | P304+P312: IF INHALED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. | Category 5 because of SPECIES: Rat; ENDPOINT: LC50 (4-8h) VALUE: 5.3mg/L (EHC20, 1982) |
| 2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Category 2 |
|
Warning | H315: Causes skin irritation |
P302+P352: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）. P362: Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. |
Based on the statement of moderate irritation to Aromatic solvents which has a 138 - 264degC boiling range (EHC20 (1982)), it was classified as Category 2. |
| 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 of moderately irritation to Aromatic solvents which has a 138 - 264degC boiling range (EHC20 (1982)), it was set as Category 2A. |
| 4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Based on a ststement that in the maximization test (including GLP test ) using a guinea pigs, high-boiling aromatic solvent, coal tar naphtha did not cause the sensitization, it was put outside of the Category. In addition, this result is supported by the statement that sensitization is not indicated in the examination by humans using multiple solvent naphtha with different boiling points(IUCLID (2000)). |
| 4 | Skin sensitization | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Based on a ststement that in the maximization test (including GLP test ) using a guinea pigs, high-boiling aromatic solvent, coal tar naphtha did not cause the sensitization, it was put outside of the Category. In addition, this result is supported by the statement that sensitization is not indicated in the examination by humans using multiple solvent naphtha with different boiling points(IUCLID (2000)). |
| 5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Based on the description (IUCLID (2000)) that High Flash Aromatic Naphtha or Solvent naphtha gave negative for the in vivo somatic mutagenicity examination (the chromosomal aberration test (GLP), the micronucleus test (GLP)) using rats or mice, we classified it as Out Of Category. In addition, each in vitro mutagenicity test using three kinds of Solvent naphtha among which boiling points differ was negative. (IUCLID(2000)) |
| 6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | It was presupposed that it cannot be categoried by technological direction. Since there is only the European Union classification. [Notes] Solvent naphtha (coal), Solvent naphtha (petroleum), and light arom. are classified into the category 2 (May cause cancer) according to the European Union classification (ESIS (2006)). |
| 7 | Reproductive toxicity | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Influences on the litter's count and fetal survivial and increased cleft palates were observed as a result of the two-generation reproductive toxicity test and developmental toxicity test of High-Flash Aromatic Naphtha (Cas64742-95-6) using rats and mice. However, this effect was observed only in the group of high-dose causing high motality to maternal animals(motality rate of mother rats and mice is 88% and 44% respectively), and reproductive toxicity or developmental toxicity was not observed at any lower dose rates (IUCLID (2000), Toxicol.Ind.Health, vol.6,441-460, 1990). Therefore, it was placed out of classification. |
| 8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Insufficient data available |
| 10 | Aspiration hazard | Category 1 |
|
Danger | H304: May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways |
P301+P310: IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. P331: Do NOT induce vomiting. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
We classified it as Category 1 based on that solvent naphtha has dynamic viscosity of 0.949mm 2/s (30 degrees C) (The Solvent Pocket Book (2001)), and that Aromatic solvent A4 (boiling points 196 to 264 degrees C) showed the fatality rates of 5/10 (EHC20 (1982)). In addition, Solvent naphtha (petroleum), light arom. (Cas 64742-95-6), Solvent naphtha (petroleum) and heavy arom. (Cas 64742-94-5) are classified as R65 (may cause lung damage if swallowed.) (ESIS (2006)). |
