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 3 | - | Warning | H316: Causes mild skin irritation | P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. | From the description that it stimulates human and rabbit skin at mild (Mild) degree (HSDB, 2002; RTECS, 2005), it was set as category 3. |
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 2A | Warning | H319: Causes serious eye irritation |
P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. P337+P313: If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. |
It is set as Category 2A from description that it stimulates to moderate to human and rabbit eye (HSDB, 2002; RTECS, 2005). | |
