PHYSICAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Explosives Not applicable - - - - There are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties present in the molecules.
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 solid Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
8 Self-reactive substances and mixtures Type G - - - - It contains chemical groups (P-O) associated with self-reactive properties. It is rated as Instability 1 by the NFPA, the substance was categorized into Type G.
9 Pyrophoric liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
10 Pyrophoric solids Not classified - - - - Its flash point is 146degC (Pensky-Martens closed cup) (Ullmanns (E) (6th, 2003) or 188degC (closed cup (IUCLID (2000)).
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Classification not possible - - - - Test methods applicable to solid (melting point <= 140degC) substances are not available. (21-23degC, Chapman (Ver. 16:2, 2008))
12 Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases Classification not possible - - - - It is a compound containing phosphorus. Due to lack of additional data, the substance was classified into the "Classification not possible" category.
13 Oxidizing liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
14 Oxidizing solids Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
15 Organic peroxides Not applicable - - - - Organic compounds containing no bivalent -O-O- structure in the molecule

HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Category 4 Warning H302: Harmful if swallowed P301+P312: IF SWALLOWED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
P330: Rinse mouth.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Since its rat LD50 = 800-1600 mg/kg (PATTY (5th, 2001)), the substance was classified into Category 4.
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Category 4 Warning H312: Harmful in contact with skin P302+P352: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P312: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell.
P322: Specific treatment (see ... on this label).
P363: Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Since its LD50 = ca. 1180-2900 mg/kg bw (IUCLID (2000)), the substance was classified into Category 4.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible - - - - Its rat LC50 = > 1.7 mg/L/4h (IUCLID (2000)). We were unable to classify the substance based on this information.
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Category 2 Warning H315: Causes skin irritation P302+P352: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water.
P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P321: Specific treatment (see ... on this label).
P362: Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.
Draize tests using rabbits found that the substance is moderately irritating (IUCLID (2000)). In addition, it is rated as Xi; R36/38 in the EU classification. Thus, the substance is classified into Category 2.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 2B - Warning H320: Causes 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.
Rabbit tests found that the substance is slightly irritating (IUCLID (2000)), and standard Draize tests discovered that it is mildly irritating (RTECS (2007)). Furthermore, it is rated as Xi; R36/38 in the EU classification. Thus, the substance was classified into Category 2B.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - Buehler tests revealed that the substance is not sensitizing (IUCLID (2000)). However, the substance was categorized into the "Classification not possible" category since sufficient information needed for classification is not available.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Not classified - - - - Oral administration micronucleus assays using mouse bone marrow cells (in vivo mutagenicity tests using somatic cells) yielded negative results (IUCLID (2000)). Thus, the substance was classified into the "Not classified" category. Also, Ames tests (in vitro mutagenicity tests) gave negative results.
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
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 Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
