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 Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)

HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Not classified - - - - In test using rats, mortality is not seen in 25g/kg (EHC113(1990) PATTY (5th, 2001)). Since this value was over the value of 5000mg/kg (oral: 2000mg/kg (Category 4) *2.5), it was set to outside of Category.
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Not classified - - - - In rabbit test, death is not observed at 7.5g/kg(PATTY (5th, 2001)). Since this value was over 5000mg/kg (dermal: 2000mg/kg (Category 4) *2.5), it was set as the outside of Category.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Not classified - - - - LC values for rat inhalation exposure: 15000ppm (equivalent 124.79mg/L) (PATTY (5th, 2001), ACGIH (2001)) and LC50: 125000mg/m3 (equivalent: 15000ppm) (RTECS (2004)) are considered to be inhalation steam study, since the saturated vapor pressure concentration at 20degC is 52320ppm or less. Moreover, since it was over the value of 12500ppm (gas 5000ppm (Category 4) *2.5), it was classified as out of Category.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
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.
Since erythema (erythema) was accepted with the rabbit (EHC 113 (1990)), it was set as Category 2.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 2B - Warning H320: Causes 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.
As the test results with the guinea pigs is MILD (RTECS(2004), it was set as Category 2B.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - Since there was no data, respiratory sensitizing property could not be classified.
4 Skin sensitization Not classified - - - - We classified it as "Out Of Category" based on the information (PATTY (5th, 2001)) (EHC 113 (1990)) that it has no sensitizing property for the guinea pigs.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Not classified - - - - It was classified as out of Category. Based on the result was negative in dominant lethal examination of the mouse (EHC 113 (1990)) (DFGOT vol.1 (1991)).
6 Carcinogenicity Not classified - - - - It was considered as the out of Category. Based on the test result that although there is no rating administrative information, carcinogenicity was not observed (DFGOT vol.1 (1991)).
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - In rat inhalation exposure, slight decrease in the central nervous system at 10000ppm (4-hour equivalent: 7070ppm), death by the stimulativeness of critical lungs 20000-30000ppm (4-hour equivalent: 10000 - 18000ppm), and death by pulmonary hemorrhage in 5000ppm (4-hour equivalent: 10750 ppm) are acknowledged (PATTY(5th, 2001) DFGOTvol.1 (1991)) but all were the given doses exceeding the guidance value of Category 2, it is not adopted as a category. Since there is no other effective data, it cannot classify.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - Although symptoms were observed in lungs, liver, the spleen, and the central nervous system, all were set to out of Category with the dose exceeding a guidance value.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available on chemical pneumonia
