PHYSICAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Explosives Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data on an explosibility, though the substance contains nitrogen atoms adjacent to each other bonds as chemical groups with explosive properties present.
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 - - - - Not classified because of its flash point: 106degC (Merck, 13th, 2001)
7 Flammable solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
8 Self-reactive substances and mixtures Not classified - - - - Although the grouping relevant to explosive (adjoining nitrogen atom) was included, the grouping relevant to autoreactive was not included. And it was thought that there was no autoreactive taking into consideration uses (agricultural chemicals, the antioxidant of oil and fats, etc.), and it was classified as outside of Category.
9 Pyrophoric liquids Not classified - - - - The flash points is 106 degC (Merck, 13th, 2001), and even if it contacts the normal temperature air, it does not ignite spontaneously.
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 applicable - - - - The chemical structure of the substance does not contain metals or metaloids(B, Si, P, Ge, As, Se, Sn, Sb, Te, Bi, Po, At).
13 Oxidizing liquids Not applicable - - - - Organic compounds containing oxygen chemically bonded only to carbon and hydrogen (but not to other elements).
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

P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
P321: Specific treatment (see ... on this label).
P330: Rinse mouth.

Category 3 based on SPECIES: Mouse; ENDPOINT: LD50; VALUE: 139mg/kg; REFERENCE SOURCE: RTECS (1999)
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 - - - - No data available
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - No 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 - - - - Although there was positiveness in in vitro mutagenicity test (an Ames test and an in vitro chromosome aberration test) (RTECS, 1999), there was no in vivo mutagenicity test result. And it cannot be classified because insufficient data.
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - There is positive or negative reports in the carcinogenicity tests using hamster or mouse (hereinafter 2 news:(1) J NATL CANCER INST depended on RTECS and 1999-ubMed search; 52 (3).). 1974, -906 and 903(2) Proceedings of the Fourth Annual Conference on Environmental Toxicology Held at Fairborn, Ohio on 16, 17 and 18 October 1973, Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory., 1973). But the Dutch healthy commissions classified this product into the carcinogenic substance suspected to humans (suspect carcinogen) (Health Councilof the Netherlands Vol:1997/03 WGD(1997)42 p). So it was presupposed that it cannot be classified since data was insufficient.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data available
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available
