| 10 | Pyrophoric solids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Liquid at room temperature (IMDG (2006)) |
| 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 oxygen (but not fluorine or chlorine) which is chemically bonded only to carbon. |
| 14 | Oxidizing solids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Liquid at room temperature (IMDG (2006)) |
| 15 | Organic peroxides | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Organic compounds containing no bivalent -O-O- structure |
| 16 | Corrosive to metals | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. Information is available that most metals are not suitable for containers since they receive a strong corrosive action (Hommel (1996)). Further, the information is available that the substance is classified into Class 8, PG II in UNRTDG (UN2513) and is highly corrosive to most metals (IMDG (2006)). |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 at room temperature (IMDG (2006)) |
| 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. As information in a document in List 3, there is a report that bromoacetyl bromide is a corrosive chemical and contact can severely irritate and burn the skin (HSFS (2000)). |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. As information in a document in List 3, there is a report that bromoacetyl bromide is a corrosive chemical and contact can severely irritate and burn the eyes with possible eye damage (HSFS (2000)). |
| 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 CHL cell chromosomal aberration test (Mutagenicity Test Data of Existing Chemical Substances based on the toxicity investigation system of the Industrial Safety and Health Law, Supplement 1(1997)) and a positive bacteria reverse mutation test (Mutagenicity Test Data of Existing Chemical Substances based on the toxicity investigation system of the Industrial Safety and Health Law, Supplement 1 (1997). 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. |
