PHYSICAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Explosives Not applicable - - - - It does not contain chemical groups (aliphatic azo group) associated with explosive properties.
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 - - - - It does not contain chemical groups (aliphatic azo group) associated with explosive properties or those associated with self-reactive properties.
9 Pyrophoric liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid
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 classified - - - - There is a product made of this substance dissolved in water.
13 Oxidizing liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid
14 Oxidizing solids Classification not possible - - - - It is an organic compound containing oxygen (but not fluorine or chlorine), which is chemically bonded to sulfur. Since no test results based on standardized testing methods are available, classification is not possible.
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) Not classified - - - - Since rat LD50 = 12060 mg/kg (RTECS accessed in October 2007), the substance was classified into the "Not classified" category.
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Since the substance is a solid, 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 - - - - No data available.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - Both in vivo unscheduled DNA synthesis test using rats and in vitro reverse mutation test using rats gave positive results (RTECS accessed in October 2007). Since no other test results are available, classification is not possible.
6 Carcinogenicity Category 1B Danger H350: May cause cancer P308+P313: IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention.
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.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
It is rated as "Group 2A" by the IARC (IARC Suppl. 7 (1987)) and "Group 2A" by Japan Society for Occupational Health (Recommendations of Occupational Exposure Limits 2007). Based on these ratings, the substance was classified into Category 1B.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 2 (liver, bone marrow, lymphatic system) Warning H373: May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (liver, bone marrow, lymphatic system) 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 ...
In mixed diet administration tests using rats, portal fibrosis in the liver, decreased bone marrow cells, and necrosis of lymphoid cells were noted at doses that fall under Category 2 (IARC vol. 29 (1972)). Based on these results, the substance was classified into Category 2 (liver, bone marrow, and lymphatic system).
10 Aspiration hazard 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) Not classified - - - - Since its 96-hour LC50 is > 180 mg/L for fathead minnow (Aquire, 2007), the substance was classified into the "Not classified" category.
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) Not classified - - - - Its classification for acute toxicity is the "Not classified" category, logPow = -6.53 (SRC 2007), and it has no potential for bioaccumulation. Based on this information, the substance was classified into the "Not classified" category.
