PHYSICAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Explosives Classification not possible - - - - It contains chemical groups (hydrazine group) associated with explosive properties. Since no further information is available, classification is not possible.
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 Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
8 Self-reactive substances and mixtures Type G - - - - Since phenylhydrazine, which is a compound similar to phenylhydrazinium chloride, is rated as Type G, phenylhydrazinium chloride was also classified into Type G.
9 Pyrophoric liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
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 (GHS definition)
14 Oxidizing solids Not applicable - - - - The substance contains chlorine (but not fluorine or oxygen), which is chemically bonded only to carbon or hydrogen.
15 Organic peroxides Not applicable - - - - Organic compounds containing no bivalent -O-O- structure
16 Corrosive to metals Classification not possible - - - - No data available.

HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Category 5 - Warning H303: May be harmful if swallowed P312: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. Based on the LD50 of 2100 mg/kg for mice that were orally administered (RTECS, accessed in August 2007), the substance was classified into Category 5.
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Since the substance is a solid (GHS definition), it was classified into the "Not applicable" category.
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 - - - - It is reported to irritate and burn the skin and eyes (HSFS 1999); however, details and evidence for these effects are not provided. Due to insufficient data available, classification is not possible.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - It is reported to irritate and burn the skin and eyes (HSFS 1999); however, details and evidence for these effects are not provided. Due to insufficient data available, classification is not possible.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - This substance may cause a skin allergy (HSFS 1999); however, details and evidence for this effect are not provided. Due to insufficient data available, classification is not possible.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - It is rated as Cat. 2 in the EU classification. However, test results used as grounds for the rating could not be obtained. Thus, classification is not possible.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - Breathing phenylhydrazine hydrochloride can irritate the nose, throat and lungs according to HSFS (1999); however, details and evidence for this effect are not provided. Due to insufficient data available, classification is not possible.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
