7 Flammable solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
8 Self-reactive substances and mixtures Not applicable - - - - There are no chemical groups associated with explosive or self-reactive properties present in the molecule.

HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Category 5 - Warning H303: May be harmful if swallowed P312: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. It was classified as category 5, since both data of Priority 1 and data of Rat are category 5. This is based on the following values: Mouse LD50 value = 4300mg/kg (ACGIH ,7th (2001)), Rat LD50 value = 5000mg/kg (RTECS (2005) and HSDB (2005)).
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Not classified - - - - Based on rat LD50 value: >20000mg/kg (RTECS, 2005), it was set as the outside of Category.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Not classified - - - - Based on description that death was not observed in rat 7-hour exposure (4-hour equivalent 34.93mg/L) to 5000ppm (ACGIH (7th, 2001)), assuming 34.93mg/L (converted with the conversion factor to about 6600ppm) as the steam with almost no mist from vapor pressure. It was classified as out of Category by the ppm concentration standard.
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.
It was set as Category 2 from description that burned and degeneration were admitted in the skin irritation test using the rabbit (HSDB (2005)).
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data available.
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 Not classified - - - - Since it was classified into D in EPA (IRIS, 2005), it was considered as the outside of Category.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 3 (Narcotic effects) Warning H336: May cause drowsiness or dizziness (narcotic effects) 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 ...
Because of descriptions in PATTY (4th, 1994) and ACGIH (7th, 2001) referring to confirmation of anesthetic actions in accidental exposure to human and inhalation exposure tests using rats, it was judged as Category 3 (anesthetic actions).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - Although we have description that significant toxicities is not observed with the dose which exceeds the guidance value range of Category 2 in the repeated inhalation exposure test using the rat (ACGIH (7th, 2001) and PATTY (4th, 1994)), both of the examination are before 1966, and the number of animals tested are unknown and it is not sufficient data to judge to be Out Of Category, and we presuppose that we can not classify it.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available
