2 Flammable gases （including chemically unstable gases） Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
3 Aerosols Not applicable - - - - Not aerosol products
4 Oxidizing gases Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
5 Gases under pressure Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
6 Flammable liquids Not classified - - - - Non-combustible (ICSC(J), 1995).

10 Pyrophoric solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Not classified - - - - Not combustible (ICSC(J) (1995))
12 Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases Not classified - - - - Although it reacts with water and hydrogen fluoride is produced, hydrogen fluoride is nonflammable. Moreover, UNRTDG is classified into 8 (6.1) and II according to the U.N. number (1732) peculiar to a substance. Since 4.3 (or 4.2) was not attached, it carried out the outside of Category.
13 Oxidizing liquids Not classified - - - - Not classified because of UNRTDG No. 1732, Class: 8(6.1), PG II (not Class: 5.1)
14 Oxidizing solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
15 Organic peroxides Not applicable - - - - Inorganic compound
16 Corrosive to metals Classification not possible - - - - UNRTDG is classified into 8 according to the UNRTDG No. (1732). Although there is description "copper and a lead are corroded" (ICSC (J) 1995), there is not steels or aluminum test data, and it cannot be classified.

HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity （Oral） Classification not possible - - - - Although SITTIG (4th, 2002) mentions the estimated lethal dosage in humans, the data is an estimate. Thus we cannot classify this substance due to insufficient data.
1 Acute toxicity （Dermal） Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours） Category 1 Danger H330: Fatal if inhaled 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.
P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P271: Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
P284: Wear respiratory protection.
P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
P320: Specific treatment is urgent （see ... on this label）.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		LC50 of the mouse is 30.5ppm (RTECS (2004)). There is no statement about time of exposure. But assuming it was 24 hours, it can be converted for 4 hour exposure to 74.7ppm , and which corresponds to Category 1. Since it was thought that actual time of exposure is shorter than 24 hours, it was classified as Category 1.
1 Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists） Classification not possible - - - - No data available
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Category 1A-1C Danger H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage P301+P330+P331: IF SWALLOWED: Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting.
P303+P361+P353: IF ON SKIN （or hair）: Remove/Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower.
P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
P304+P340: IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）.
P363: Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		Skin caustic is indicated from description that "reddening/seriousness of the skin burns/Hurt, and to the skin caustic, Corrosive and Severe effect are indicated"(ICSC, 1995;HSDB, 2002;SITTIG, 4th, 2002;HSFS, 2004). But it was set as Category 1A-1C since the examination data of the animal used as the further categorizing index was not found. [view] It is more desirable to be set as 1A from a viewpoint of safety, when further categorizing needs to be performed.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 1 Danger H318: Causes serious eye damage P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. 		Due to the description of "it causes redness, pain, and severe burns, and shows causticty, corrosive, and severe effects to the eye (ICSC, 1995; HSDB, 2002; SITTIG, 4th, 2002; HSFS, 2004), it was classified into Category 1.

P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		The substance was classified as Category 2 (respiratory system, blood, heart, kidneys, liver) based on the reports in Priority 2 documents of effects on the respiratory system, blood, heart, kidneys and liver in humans (ICSC, 1995; SITTIG, 4th, 2002; HSFS, 2004).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (bone, lung, cardiovascular system), Category 2 (liver) Danger
Warning 		H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (bone, lung, cardiovascular system)

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 ... 		It is supposed that it has the influence on a bone by as fluoride and the effects on lungs, the cardiovascular system by as antimony compound (ACGIH-TLV (2004) of Priority 1 document). Since there was the same description also in SITTIG (4th, 2002), HSFS (2004) of Priority 2 document, it was classified into Category 1 (a bone, lungs, cardiovascular system). Moreover, it is supposed that it has the effects on the liver (RTECS (2004) of Priority 2 document, SITTIG (4th, 2002), and HSFS (2004)). Therefore, it was classified into Category 2 (liver).
