|
Warning | H290: May be corrosive to metals |
P234: Keep only in original container. P390: Absorb spillage to prevent material-damage. P406: Store in corrosive resistant/... container with a resistant inner liner. |
Although there is no test data, UNRTDG is classified into 8 and II according to the UNRTDG No. (1775). Since there is a description as a use that "to clean metal surfaces before welding; to brighten aluminum; as a solute in electrolytes for plating metals such as chromium, iron, nickel, copper, silver, zinc, cadmium, indium, tin, and lead (has a high throwing power)" (Merck, 13th, 2001), it was set as Category 1. |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Oral） | Category 3 |
|
Danger | H301: Toxic if swallowed |
P301+P310: IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）. P330: Rinse mouth. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Based on the LD50 values in rats of 100mg/kg (RTECS, 2004) and 239mg/kg (in the purity of 100%)) [464mg/kg (51.5%)] (IUCLID, 2000), we adopted the lower value to classify the substance as Category 3. |
| 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） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 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 ... |
It was set as category 1A-1C since there is the description that there is caustic to human skin and severe burns is caused (HSDB, 2003; ICSC (J), 1995; SITTIG, 4th, 2002; HSFS, 1999), and it was set as "C;R34" by EU-Annex I (Access on Jul.2005). [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 that it has causticity to human eye (ICSC(J)1995; SITTIG, 4th, 2002;HSFS, 1999), it was classified into Category 1. |
| 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 | - | - | - | - | Although there is the reports that it is negative in vitro mutagenicity test (Ames test) (IUCLID, 2000), there is no data of an in vivo mutagenicity test. And because of insufficient data, it cannot be classified. |
| 6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Although fluoride was classified into A4 (corresponding to outer Category) in ACGIH-TLV (2005), due to insufficient data, it cannot be classified. |
| 7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Although fluoride is classified into C (there is no developmental toxicologies) according to MAK/BAT (2005), since data is insufficient, it cannot be classified. |
| 8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 2 (respiratory system) |
|
Warning | H371: May cause damage to organs (respiratory system) |
P309+P311: IF exposed or if you feel unwell: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. 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. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
It was considered as Category 2 (respiratory systems) based on the description that it has respiratory tracts and pulmonary edemas may be caused (ICSC (J) (1995), SITTIG (4th, 2002), and HSFS (1999) of Priority 2 document). |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 1 (bone) |
|
Danger | H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (bone) |
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 ... |
Since there is a description of the influence (fluorosis) on a bone as fluoride (ACGIH-TLV (2005) of Priority 1 document) and there are similar descriptions also (ICSC(J)(1995), SITTIG(4th, 2002), and HSFS(1999) of Priority 2 document), it is classified into Category 1 (bone). In addition, although there is a description of effect also on the kidney, blood, and the respiratory system (SITTIG(4th, 2002) and HSFS(1999)), the data which is supported was not found. |
| 10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Acute） | Not classified | - | - | - | - | It carried out the outside of Category from 96-hour LC50=2.6g/L of fishes (Zebrafish) (IUCLID, 2000). |
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term） | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Since not water-insoluble (aqueous solubility = 8700mg/L(IUCLID, 2000)) and acute toxicity is low. |
