Since it is defined as UN0155, Division 1.1 by the UNRTDG, the substance was classified into Division 1.1. (Although the condition of the substance was not defined in the regulations, this substance is supposed to contain less than 10% water by mass.) (If this substance is wetted with not less than 10% water by mass, it is defined as UN3365 and a desensitized explosive. Based on this information it was classified into the "Not classified" category.)

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) Classification not possible - - - - It is rated as N; R50/53 by the EU. However, since no test results supporting the rating are available, classification is not possible.
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) Classification not possible - - - - It is rated as N; R50/53 by the EU. However, since no test results supporting the rating are available, classification is not possible.
