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.
2 Flammable gases (including chemically unstable gases) Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
3 Aerosols Not applicable - - - - Not aerosol products.
4 Oxidizing gases Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
5 Gases under pressure Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
6 Flammable liquids Not classified - - - - Based on its flash point documented: > 124degC (open cup) (IUCLID (2000)), 232degC (CONCAWE (1. product dossier no. 97/108 (1997)), which is >= 110degC, the substance was classified into "Not classified".
7 Flammable solid Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
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 Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
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 - - - - Organic compounds containing no oxygen, fluorine or chlorine
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) Classification not possible - - - - Its rabbit LD50 of > 15000 mg/kg (RTECS (1997)) indicates that the substance is to be placed in "Not classified" category. However, since the value was obtained using a List 3 dataset, classification is not possible.
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - Its rabbit LD50 of > 5000 mg/kg (RTECS (1997)) indicates that the substance is to be placed in "Not classified" category. However, since the value was obtained using a List 3 dataset, classification is not possible.
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) 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 - - - - Because there are no in vivo test results or positive results in in vitro tests using multiple indices, classification is not possible. Also, Ames tests (OECD TG 471; IUCLID (2000)) gave negative results.
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 - - - - In 28-day inhalation tests using rats (mist concentration: 50, 210, or 1000 mg/m3; 90-day conversion value: 0.017, 0.07, or 0.33 mg/L, respectively), changes in lung weight and thickening of alveolar wall were detected at 0.33 mg/L that falls under Category 2 guidance doses (OECD TG 412; IUCLID (2000)); however, no changes in general symptoms such as body weight loss were observed. Overall, due to insufficient data available, classification is not possible.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
