PHYSICAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Explosives Not applicable - - - - Due to dissociation of nitrogen and oxygen from hydrocarbon through the formation of ammonia and water, the saturation of unsaturated bonds and the deposition and separation of its metal components by the catalysts during the hydrorefining process, the substance does not contain chemical groups associated with explosive properties.

8 Self-reactive substances and mixtures Not applicable - - - - Due to dissociation of nitrogen and oxygen from hydrocarbon through the formation of ammonia and water, the saturation of unsaturated bonds and the deposition and separation of its metal components by the catalysts during the hydrorefining process, the substance does not contain chemical groups associated with explosive or self-reactive properties.
9 Pyrophoric liquids Not classified - - - - Its autoignition point is > 315degC (Ergon refining, Inc's MSDS), which is above 70degC.
10 Pyrophoric solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Classification not possible - - - - Test methods applicable to liquid substances are not available.
12 Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases Not applicable - - - - Due to deposition and separation of its metal components by the catalysts during the hydrorefining process, 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 - - - - Due to dissociation of oxygen from hydrocarbon through water formation, and the deposition and separation of its metal components by the catalysts during the hydrorefining process, the substance does not contain oxygen or halogen.
14 Oxidizing solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
15 Organic peroxides Not applicable - - - - Due to dissociation of oxygen from hydrocarbon through water formation during the hydrorefining process, the substance is considered as an organic compound 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 - - - - Based on its rat LD50 of > 5000 mg/kg (IUCLID (2000)), the substance was classified into "Not classified".
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Not classified - - - - Based on its rat LD50 of > 2000 mg/kg (IUCLID (2000)), the substance was classified into "Not classified" using the JIS classification criteria (Category 5 or "Not classified" category in the United Nations classification).
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Category 4 Warning H332: Harmful if inhaled P304+P340: IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P271: Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
P312: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell.
Based on it rat LC50 of 2.18 mg/L (IUCLID (2000)), the substance was classified into Category 4. With its average molecular weight being 290 and its boiling point being 240degC, the experiment was presumably conducted in mist state.
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.
Because skin irritation and corrosion tests using rabbits (OECD TG 404) found that the Primary Dermal Irritation Index is 5.4 (IUCLID (2000)), we determined that the substance is moderately irritating (roughly PDII 3-5) and classified it into Category 2.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 2 Warning H319: Causes serious 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.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
Since eye irritation tests using rabbits found that the substance is slightly irritating (IUCLID (2000)), we classified it into Category 2.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - In skin sensitization tests using guinea pigs (OECD TG 406), the substance was documented to be not sensitizing (IUCLID (2000)). However, due to insufficient data available, classification is not possible.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - Because there are no in vivo test results or positive results in in vitro tests using multiple indices, classification is not possible. Also, in vitro mutagenicity tests using mouse cell line L5178Y (OECD TG 476 (1984)) gave positive results (IUCLID (2000)).
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - As the IARC classified highly refined mineral oils into Group 3, and untreated and mildly treated mineral oils into Group 1 (IARC 33 (1987)), classification is differentiated by the degree of refinement. Because the degree of refinement associated with this substance is unknown, it is classified into "Classification not possible".
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 Category 1 Danger H304: May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways P301+P310: IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
P331: Do NOT induce vomiting.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Since it is a hydrocarbon and its kinematic viscosity is 8.5 mm2/s at 40degC (CONCAWE (1997)), the substance was classified into Category 1.

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 48h-EC50 is > 1000 mg/L for crustaceans (Daphnia magna) (IUCLID 2000), the substance was classified into the "Not classified" category.
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) Not classified - - - - Since its rating for acute toxicity is "Not classified," the substance was classified into the "Not classified" category.
