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 |
| 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 solid | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| 8 | Self-reactive substances and mixtures | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | It contains chemical groups (S=O) associated with self-reactive properties. Since no additional test results are available, classification is not possible. |
| 9 | Pyrophoric liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid |

| 16 | Corrosive to metals | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Oral） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | It is rated as R25 in the EU classification (EU-Annex 1, accessed in February 2009), which is equivalent to being classified into the Category 2 or 3. However, since no other information is available, the substance was classified into "Classification not possible". |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Dermal） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | It is rated as R24 in the EU classification (EU-Annex 1, accessed in February 2009), which is equivalent to being classified into Category 2 or 3. However, since no other information is available, the substance was classified into "Classification not possible". |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid |
| 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 rated as R34: corrosive (C) in the EU classification (EU-Annex 1, accessed in February 2009), which is equivalent to being classified into Category 1. However, since no other information is available, the substance was classified into "Classification not possible". |
| 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 | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| 6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | It is rated as A4 by the ACGIH (ACGIH-TLV, 2008: as fluorides), which is equivalent to being classified into the "Not classified" category. However, since there are no test results on this substance available, it was classified into "Classification not possible". |
| 7 | Reproductive toxicity | Category 1 |
|
Danger | H360: May damage fertility or the unborn child |
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.

Although there are no data on this substance, lithium causes chemically induced birth defects (Birth Defects 3rd (2000)) and is considered as a teratogenic substance. According to Catalog of Teratogenic Agents (Teratogenic 12th (2007)), there are several cases of birth reports on cardiac deformity in couples taking lithium, indicating its teratogenic potential in humans. As such, the substance was classified into Category 1. |
| 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. |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Acute） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
