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 - - - - 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 Classification not possible - - - - No data available
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.
9 Pyrophoric liquids Not classified - - - - It was a kind of tributyl tins, and tributyl tins was once used as a antifouling agent of a hull or fishing implements. And it was considered not to ignite spontaneously, even if it contacts the normal temperature air, and was classified the outside of Category.
10 Pyrophoric solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Classification not possible - - - - Test methods applicable to liquid substances are not available
12 Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases Not classified - - - - It was a kind of tributyl tins, and since tributyl tins was once used as a antifouling agent of a hull or fishing implements, it was considered to be stable to water and carried out the outside of category.
13 Oxidizing liquids Classification not possible - - - - No data available
14 Oxidizing solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
15 Organic peroxides Not applicable - - - - Organic compounds containing no -0-0- structure
16 Corrosive to metals Classification not possible - - - - No data available

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 - - - - 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 Classification not possible - - - - There is knowledge that tributyltin compounds or organic tin compounds indicates skin irritation (DFGOT 1, 1991-atty 5th, 2001;ATSDR, 2005), but there is no this product data, data is insufficient and it cannot be classified.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - There is no this product data, although there is knowledge that eye irritation was indicated with the organic tin compound (ACGIH 7th, 2001; Patty 5th, 2001; ATSDR, 2005). But data is insufficient, it cannot classify.
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 - - - - The organotin compounds is classified into A4 (it cannot classify into a the human carcinogens) in ACGIH. On the other hand, there is also a knowledge that a certain kind of organotin compounds induces cancer to animals (ATSDR, 2005) and data of its this product themselves cannot be found. Therefore, it cannot be classified since the data is insufficient.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - Although a possibility that organotin compounds will affect genitalium of animals is suggested in the description (ATSDR, 2005), or tributyltin compounds is classified into Category C in DFG (a substance which does not affect human embryos and fetuses if it is within a MAK/BAT value) (MAK/BAT, 2005), there is no data of this product. And data is insufficient, it cannot be classified.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 1 (central nervous system), Category 3 (respiratory tract irritation) Danger
Warning 		H370: Causes damage to organs (central nervous system)
H335: May cause respiratory irritation (respiratory tract irritation) 		P307+P311: IF exposed: 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.
P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
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. 		Although there is no data of this product itself, from the influence on the central nervous systems in human as an organic tin compounds (ATSDR, 2005; ACGIH 7th, 2001; Patty 5th, 2001) and the potential of respiratory irritant (ATSDR, 2005; ACGIH 7th, 2001) being indicated, it was considered as Category 1 (central nervous systems) and Category 3 (respiratory irritant).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (immune system) Danger H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (immune system) 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 own data of this product could not be found, since the impacts of effects on the human immune system was suggested by as an organic tin compounds (ATSDR, 2005;ACGIH 7th, 2001-atty 5th, 2001), it was classified into Category 1 (immune systems).
