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. The substance is high reactive and a contact of the substance with organic compounds could cause an explosion. (Bretherick, 6th, 1999)
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 Not classified - - - - Nonflammable (HSDB, 2002). (However, this product is a strong oxidizers and when it contacts with a reducing agent, it may burn. (Sax, 11th, 2004))
8 Self-reactive substances and mixtures Not applicable - - - - Classified in oxidizing solids
9 Pyrophoric liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
10 Pyrophoric solids Not classified - - - - Nonflammable (HSDB, 2002). (However, this substance is highly reactive, and when it contacts an organic matter, it may ignite spontaneously. (HSDB, 2002))
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Not classified - - - - Not combustible. (HSDB (2002))
12 Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases Not classified - - - - Stable to water (soluble in water)
13 Oxidizing liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
14 Oxidizing solids Category 2 Danger H272: May intensity fire; oxidizer P370+P378: In case of fire: Use ... for extinction.
P210: Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking.
P220: Keep/Store away from clothing/.../combustible materials.
P221: Take any precaution to avoid mixing with combustibles/...
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
UNRTDG No. 1515, Class: 5.1; PG II.
15 Organic peroxides Not applicable - - - - Inorganic compound

HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
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 Classification not possible - - - - There is description that skin irritation is present in humans (HSFS (2000)). But there is no data which is supported, and since data is insufficient, it cannot be classified.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - Although there is the description that it irritates to human eye in HSFS (2000), there is no data which is supported, and data is insufficient. Therefore, it cannot be classified.
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 - - - - No data available
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - Although it is categorized as zinc compounds into I in IRIS (2005) (corresponding to outer Category) , due to insufficient data, it cannot be classified.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - Although it is assumed that there is reproductive toxicity as a manganese compounds (ACGIH-TLV (2004)), MAK/BAT (2004) has statement that it has no reproductive toxicity. There is no data of this product, so it cannot be classified due to insufficient data.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - Although there are reports of airway irritant properties in HSFS (2000), there are no supporting data, so the substance cannot be classified due to insufficient data.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (central nervous system, lung) Danger H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (central nervous system, lung) 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.
P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Although there is no data about this product, in ACGIH-TLV (2004) of Priority 1 document, it is supposed that it has effects on a central nervous systems (manganism) and lungs by repeated exposure of manganese compounds. It was classified into Category 1 (a central nervous systems, lung).
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available
