PHYSICAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Explosives Unstable Explosive Danger H200: Unstable Explosive P201: Obtain special instructions before use.
P202: Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood.
P281: Use personal protective equipment as required.
P372: Explosion risk in case of fire.
P374: Fight fire with normal precautions from a reasonable distance.
P380: Evacuate area.
P401: Store ...
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		Since the substance, which is wetted with less than 30% water or alcohol by mass, is prohibited from being transported (Ship Safety Act / Article 5-1(n) of Public Notice of the Ministry of Transport, No.549 of 1979), we determined that it is an unstable explosive. (If the substance is wetted with not less than 30% water or alcohol by mass, it is defined as UN0114 and Division 1.1.)
2 Flammable gases （including chemically unstable gases） Not applicable - - - - Solid
3 Aerosols Not applicable - - - - Not aerosol products.
4 Oxidizing gases Not applicable - - - - Solid
5 Gases under pressure Not applicable - - - - Solid
6 Flammable liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid
7 Flammable solids Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
8 Self-reactive substances and mixtures Not applicable - - - - Since the substance is classified as an explosive, classification as a self-reactive substance is not applicable.

10 Pyrophoric solids Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Classification not possible - - - - No data 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 metalloids (B, Si, P, Ge, As, Se, Sn, Sb,Te, Bi, Po, At).
13 Oxidizing liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid
14 Oxidizing solids Classification not possible - - - - No data available.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Acute） Category 1 Warning H400: Very toxic to aquatic life P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P391: Collect spillage.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		Since its 48-hour LC50 for crustaceans (Daphnia magna) is 0.14 mg/L (AQUIRE, 2007; Bentley et al., 1975), the substance was classified into Category 1. This test was conducted using the test substance which was first desensitized and then neutralized. Although this process may have changed the property of the test substance, even so, the altered test substance exhibited toxic effects in an experiment which is reliable as it followed conventional test methods except for the endpoints. Thus, the substance was classified into Category 1.
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term） Category 1 Warning H410: Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P391: Collect spillage.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		Its classification for acute toxicity is Category 1 and it is estimated not to be rapidly degradable (BIOWIN). Based on this information, the substance was classified into Category 1.
