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 - - - - Classified into Not applicable by judging that the substance is liquid at room temperature.
3 Aerosols Not applicable - - - - Not aerosol products.
4 Oxidizing gases Not applicable - - - - Classified into Not applicable by judging that the substance is liquid at room temperature.
5 Gases under pressure Not applicable - - - - Classified into Not applicable by judging that the substance is liquid at room temperature.
6 Flammable liquids Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
7 Flammable solids Not applicable - - - - Classified into Not applicable by judging that the substance is liquid at room temperature.
8 Self-reactive substances and mixtures Classification not possible - - - - Classification is not possible since no data are available though there are chemical groups (epoxy group) present in the molecule associated with self-reactive properties.
9 Pyrophoric liquids Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
10 Pyrophoric solids Not applicable - - - - Classified into Not applicable by judging that the substance is liquid at room temperature.
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 - - - - The chemical structure of 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 - - - - The substance is an organic compound containing chlorine and oxygen (but not fluorine) which are chemically bonded only to carbon or hydrogen.
14 Oxidizing solids Not applicable - - - - Classified into Not applicable by judging that the substance is liquid at room temperature.
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

1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Liquid (room temperature)
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 - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data from in vivo mutagenicity tests. From in vitro mutagenicity tests, there are reports of a positive Ames test and a positive CHO cell chromosomal aberration test (Mutagenicity Test Data of Existing Chemical Substances based on the toxicity investigation system of the Industrial Safety and Health Law (1996)). In addition, the substance is an existing chemical substance, for which mutagenicity was established under the provisions of Article 57-3 of the Industrial Safety and Health Law.
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.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
