PHYSICAL HAZARDS
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Explosives | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Not classified because of non-combustible (but explodes at 129degC, according to NFPA, 13th, 2002), though the substance is a hydroxylamine containing N-O bonds as chemical groups associated with explosive properties present. |
| 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 | - | - | - | - | Non-combustible (NFPA, 13th, 2002) |
| 8 | Self-reactive substances and mixtures | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Although the grouping relevant to explosive (N-O) is included, explosion is not caused if not exposed to high. Moreover, the grouping relevant to autoreactive was not included, it carried out the outside of Category. (However, mixing of a substance with decomposition promotion actions, such as metal ions, will promote autoreactive. In Japan, serious explosions happened and 85wt% aqueous solutions are designated as first class self-reactive substances and the aqueous solutions beyond 20wt% as second sort self-reactive substance in fire defense laws.) |
| 9 | Pyrophoric liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 10 | Pyrophoric solids | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Non-combustible (NFPA, 13th, 2002) |
| 11 | Self-heating substances and mixtures | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Non-combustible (NFPA, 13th, 2002) |
| 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 | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 14 | Oxidizing solids | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 15 | Organic peroxides | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Inorganic compound |
| 16 | Corrosive to metals | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 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 | Category 2 |
|
Warning | H315: Causes skin irritation |
P302+P352: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）. P362: Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. |
Since there is the description which indicates skin stimulation (shot red, pain, skin timulating) in Priority 2 (ICSC (1995), SITTIG (4th, 2002)) and R37/38 is indicated of European risk phrases, it was set as category 2. |
| 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. |
There is description of "caustic is indicated" to the human eye (ICSC(1995), SITTIG(4th, 2002)) in Priority 2, and EU risk phrases is R41. So it is set as Category 1. |
| 4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 4 | Skin sensitization | Category 1 |
|
Warning | H317: May cause an allergic skin reaction |
P302+P352: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. P333+P313: If skin irritation or rash occurs: Get medical advice/attention. P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P272: Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）. P363: Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
In addtion to the description (ICSC(1995), SITTIG(4th, 2002)) in Priority 2 "sensitization of the skin may be carried out by repetition or long-term contact", the EU risk phrases is R43, and it is German MAK Liszt's Sensitization substance (Sh), it is referred to as Category 1. |
| 5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data |
| 6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 2 (blood, nervous system), Category 3 (respiratory tract irritation) |
|
Warning |
H371: May cause damage to organs (blood, nervous system) H335: May cause respiratory irritation (respiratory tract irritation) |
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 ... 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. |
There are descriptions that in Priority 2, "it affects blood and methemoglobin may be generated " and the syntoms such as "dizziness, headaches, nausea, vomiting", are developed to humans. Furthermore, since also there was description that "it stimulates a respiratory tract " to humans (all are ICSC (1995), SITTIG (4th, 2002)), it was considered as Category 2 (blood, nervous system) and Category 3 (respiratory irritant). |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 2 (blood, nervous system, liver) |
|
Warning | H373: May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (blood, nervous system, liver) |
P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Based on descriptions that "Blood is affected to humans, and methemoglobin formation and the anemia accompanying it may be occured"(ICSC (1995), SITTIG (4th, 2002) Priority 2), and that "a nervous system and liver may be affected to humans"(SITTIG (4th, 2002) Priority 2), it was classified into Category 2 (blood, nervous systems,liver). |
| 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） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Insufficient data available. |
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data |
