PHYSICAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Explosives Not applicable - - - - There are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties present in the molecules.
2 Flammable gases （including chemically unstable gases） Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
3 Aerosols Not applicable - - - - Not aerosol products
4 Oxidizing gases Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
5 Gases under pressure Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
6 Flammable liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
7 Flammable solids Classification not possible - - - - No data available by regulated examination methods, though "Flammable" (ICSC (J) (2001))
8 Self-reactive substances and mixtures Not applicable - - - - There are no chemical groups associated with explosive or self-reactive properties present in the molecule.
9 Pyrophoric liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
10 Pyrophoric solids Not classified - - - - "No flash point until the boiling point (311.5-360degC)" (HSDB, 2006)
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Classification not possible - - - - In 140 degC which is test temperature, it may become a liquid and the test suitable for such a material is not established.
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)
14 Oxidizing solids Not applicable - - - - Organic compounds containing chlorine (but not oxygen and fluorine) and the chlorine is chemically bonded only to carbon and hydrogen (but not to other elements).
15 Organic peroxides Not applicable - - - - Containing no -0-0- structure
16 Corrosive to metals Classification not possible - - - - Liquid at a test temperature, 55degC. Test methods applicable to solid substances are not available.

HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity （Oral） Classification not possible - - - - There are the description that the death by 500mg/kg administration was not observed with a rabbit in CICAD 34 (2001), and LD50 value in a guinea pigs was >3mg/kg. But there is no other data and Category could not be specificked. It cannot be classified due to insufficient data.
1 Acute toxicity （Dermal） Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours） Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists） Classification not possible - - - - No data available
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Category 3 - Warning H316: Causes mild skin irritation P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. There was no concrete case report. But from descriptions that the skin was stimulated slightly (ICSC (J) (2001)), and the skin might be stimulated (HSFS (2000)), it was judged that skin irritation was slight. So it was set as Category 3.
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. 		There was no concrete case report. But based on the description that the eyes are stimulated slightly (ICSC (J) (2001)), it was set as Category 2B.
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 - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data available.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 2 (liver) Warning H373: May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (liver) P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		Although there is descriptions that liver may be affected to human (PATTY (4th, 1994)), and that there is hepatotoxicity and liver damage may be occured (ICSC (J) (2001)), it was classified into Category 2 (liver) with no concrete case report, and with only these descriptions making it fully be sure to justify the classification to Category 1.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available
